Include the following information in the ticket:

Data Classification Type

Document the data classification category:

  1. Low
  2. Moderate

  3. Read-Only

The ticket and information within will be reviewed by IT and Data Governance. Once approved, the new Document Library or List will be implemented by IT. IT will also send out an email notification providing details regarding the new Document Library or list.

Review the new site component when you receive notification of implementation. Confirm that the site component was implemented correctly according to your requirements and verify that the following disclosure appears at the top of the page.

When your site is implemented, IT will update the Share Data with External Parties service desk ticket established during the Submit Request step. This action sends an automated email to the Requestor confirming the work completed, which includes a link to the Share Data with External Parties Service Desk ticket. The Requestor should access the ticket by clicking this link. Then, using the Comments field in the ticket, document any additional changes that are needed, or provide you approval for the new site component. When providing final approval, be sure to close the ticket by clicking the Passed UAT button at the top-right of the page. This action sends an email confirmation to the Data Governance Office and IT that the new component works as expected.

Contact Data Governance before adding new documents or data that do not align with the site classification or external stakeholders not under an agreement with NYSERDA. Please follow-up with the Project Lead that developed the site to determine if the information asset being added to the new document library falls within the original site requirements.  If not, you should complete a new Information Asset Identification Worksheet. 

If you or other Project Leads require training on how to use your new site component, submit a Request Training ticket (only accessible from within your VM, otherwise access the Service Desk from the NYSERDA Launch Page and select the Request Training ticket type).

Provide access for the new site component to the internal and external stakeholders following the instructions on the SharePoint: Managing Permissions page. Each user must have a unique Microsoft email account - shared accounts are not allowed.
