Voting for Data Owner Candidates

As a voter on a data ownership election campaign, you are able to cast your vote on one or more candidates to become the data owner on the campaigned resource. In addition, a voter can propose a new candidate who will be added to the candidates list or skip voting altogether if the voter doesn't know who should be responsible for the resource.

1. To view all active campaigns and to cast your vote, go to My Tasks > Data Ownership > Owner Election.

   On this screen you see all data ownership campaigns that the user is assigned and that are still in progress, as well as their relevant information like the date the campaign started, the application the resources belong to, and the progress of each campaign.

   You can search for a specific campaign by using the search field at the top of the table or by selecting the filters icon. If searching for a campaign using filters, you can refine your search by the following parameters:

   • Application Type
   • Application
   • Start Date

2. When a parameter has been set, select Apply.

3. To cast a vote on a campaign, select the campaign that needs to be voted on.

   The left pane titled Campaign Resources lists all resources within this election.

   The main table provides details about each candidate so that an informed decision can be made.

   Note

   Candidates are ranked and ordered by Data Access Security based on their access activity on the particular resource. Ranking is based on both the number of actions they perform, as well as the types of operations they perform, where content producing activities are scored higher than content consuming activities. The candidates are ordered based on this computed rank, where the first candidate is the highest ranking one, making them the most likely ownership candidate.

4. To cast a vote for a candidate that is listed, select the Select button on the appropriate row.

   Note

   More than one candidate can be selected.

5. If you would like to nominate another candidate that is not listed, select the Nominate Another Candidate button at the top of the table.

6. From the Select an Identity field, search for the identity you want to nominate. Once the identity is selected, select Save.

   The newly nominated candidate is added to the bottom of the candidate list and is also automatically selected. If a voter deselects a candidate they nominated, that candidate is not included in the campaign and other voters are not able to vote for the nominee.

7. Once all desired candidates have been selected, select Commit Vote.

Note

Once Commit Vote is selected, the next resource in this campaign displays so that decisions can be made on it.

If the voter does not want to cast a vote on a particular resource, they can select Skip and Commit.

If a user wants to start the voting process over, select Clear Selection.
