Understand Claravine

Quick Overview of Concepts and Workflow

The main concepts you'll be working with in Claravine are templates, datasets, and submissions. A template expresses data standards for a type of data, such as a campaign or a digital asset. A dataset is a comprehensive, tabular view of all rows and fields for all data associated with a template. A submission is the draft of new data to add to a dataset (following the data standards defined in a template) that must be validated and approved.

The typical high-level workflow is:

1. A user creates a template that governs a dataset to come.
2. Users add data to a dataset (complying with the template) by creating submissions.
3. Submissions remain pending until approved, then they become part of a dataset. 

Refer to our glossary for more definitions.

Navigate the Claravine Platform

For the best experience with Claravine, we recommend using Google Chrome.

The Claravine platform has a navigation bar on the very left, which you can expand for detail or collapse to maximize workspace. Some pages have content divided into tabs, which run along the top.

Access the Resource Center from any page in Claravine to see:

• Announcements
• Help Center (guides with step-by-step instruction and videos)
• Technical Support (create a ticket for the support team on Claravine-related issues)

Create a Submission

The best way to get started is to create a submission by following the instructions in our Submissions: Create, View, and Edit article. You can also watch our video. 

Creating a submission means you will now make a draft table of data to submit to a dataset. To do this, you will select an existing template to which your data will adhere.

If no template exists for your data, you may instead choose to start by creating a template. Follow the instructions in our Templates - Create a New Template Start to Finish article.

Watch a Video on Creating a Submission

Watch a video showing you how to create a submission, each type of field you may see in a template, and the submission process.
