How can I see who is using my data?

Modified on Fri, 24 Mar, 2023 at 9:23 AM

By using the guestbook feature it is possible to register who downloaded files from your dataset. With enabling a guestbook, you can oblige the downloader to register his name and to answer one or more questions. A guestbook must be created on the dataverse level. This makes it possible to reuse the guestbook (with the same settings) for the different datasets within the dataverse. You can read how to create a guestbook here: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.10.1/user/dataverse-management.html#id18. If you do not have permission to create a guestbook, please contact your local DataverseNL admin. 
To select a guestbook for your dataset, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your dataset page.

  2. Select the ‘Terms’ tab.

  3. Click ‘Edit Term Requirements’.

  4. Select under the head ‘Guestbook’ the guestbook you would like to use and click ‘Save changes’.
