Step by step

To publish (register) your data product, follow these 6 steps:

1. Go to the GeoConnections Discovery Portal web site at http://geodiscover.cgdi.ca and select the Add or Update Your Content link in the home page.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Log in using an existing username and password if you have one, or select Register to create a new user account. If you are already logged-in, this page will not appear.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Select the Products link.
   
   
   
   
   
4. You will now be provided with a list of all data products under your ownership. If you have just registered as a new user, you will not have any. If this is the case, select Create New Data Product.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Enter the required information.
   
   
6. After you have saved a data product for the first time, you can use the Add/Edit Associations button. You can also use the Add/Edit Search Service button to add details for connected search servers for the database (in order to make your database searchable through the GeoConnections Discovery Portal).

If you need help, select Help/FAQ on the GeoConnections Discovery Portal menu bar at the top of the web page; then, in the new page that opens, select Tutorial. The tutorial explains the entire procedure.
