Asset Management

Platform administrators oversee all assets contributed to Forest Stack. Through the management tools available under Manage Platform → Users and Contributions, admins can review, verify, update, and moderate datasets, models, and use cases submitted by Providers.

Manage Platform → Users and Contributions → Contributions

In the Contributions section, platform admins can view and manage every asset uploaded to Forest Stack. The contributions table provides key information, including:

Asset Name – The title of the dataset submitted for upload.
Asset Type – Indicates whether the submission is a Dataset, Model, or other supported asset.
Permission (Open, Restricted) – Defines whether users can download the asset freely or only after approval.
Item Status (Active, Inactive) – Shows whether the asset is currently active on the platform or not.
Verified(True,False) – Indicates whether the asset has been reviewed and approved by the Organisation Manager or platform administrator for publication
Published On – The date when the provider initiated the upload request.
Uploaded By – Shows the name of the user or organisation that submitted the asset to Forest Stack.
Verified By – Displays the name of the administrator or Organisation Manager who reviewed and approved the asset.
Action – Options for the admin to view and update asset details, hide/unhide the asset, and delete the asset.

Under the Action column, platform administrators can:

View & Edit Asset Details – Allows the admin to review and modify the metadata and settings of the selected asset.
Hide / Unhide an Asset from the Platform – Controls whether an asset is visible or hidden from end users.
Delete an Asset from Forest Stack – Permanently removes the asset and its associated content from the platform.

These controls help ensure that only accurate, compliant, and approved assets remain visible to users.

In the Action column, admins can:

View Details of the Upload Request – Opens the full submission information, including metadata and upload method.
Approve the Dataset Upload – Accepts the submission, allowing the dataset to proceed to publishing.
Reject the Request – Declines the upload submission and prevents the dataset from being added to the platform.
