Learn how to share live air quality data with your community with Clarity OpenMap
We do not share your data publicly without your permission. The data collected from your network is set as private by default.
The Org Admin has permissions to make select or all data public and share directly to Clarity OpenMap. Here's how to do so:
Open multiple datasources simultaneously (preferred/easiest)
1. Login to the Clarity Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Datasources page. Click on "Open Datasources" to open/close datasources for public sharing in bulk.
3. Switch the "Is Open" toggle to "on" for any datasources that you would like to make open for public data sharing. You can also assign a different, public name for the device on open data platforms, and you can choose to "Suppress Open Location" if you do not wish for the exact address of the Node to appear on open data platforms.
4. Click "Save" to confirm the changes.
5. Return to the Datasources page to confirm your desired datasources are now open, and make other datasources open if needed.
Open individual datasources (preferred/easiest)
1. Login to the Clarity Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Datasources page. You will see a list of datsources — datasources with open data sharing enabled will have the Open Datasource Icon to the right.
3. Select the Datasource you would like to make public from the Current Datasources table.
4. Select "Edit Open Data Settings" from the Action dropdown.
5. A menu option under actions called “Edit Open Data” will open. Simply turn the toggle labeled "Open" to "on" in order to begin sharing your data to Clarity OpenMap and other public data sharing platforms.
You can also choose a different name for the device on open data platforms, and you can choose to "Suppress Open Location" if you do not wish for the exact address of the Node to appear on open data platforms.
6. Click Update to save changes.
7. Return to the Datasources page to make other datasources open if needed.
Once you make your data public, everyone on the internet can download it and use it as they wish.
Second way to open individual datasources (longer)
1. Login to the Clarity Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Datasources page.
3. Select the Datasource you would like to make public from the Current Datasources table.
3. Select About Datasource from the Action dropdown.
4. The About Datasource page will load. Learn more about the About Datasource page here (article forthcoming!)
5. Click on the Edit button next to Open Data. A popup will open to allow you to toggle Open the data and allow you to enter a public name for the datasource. This name does not need to be the same as the Name you have internally for this datasource.
5. Click Update to save changes.
6. Return to the Datasources page to make other datasources open if needed.
Once you make your data public, everyone on the internet can download it and use it as they wish.
