The Public Data page contains synthetic data files. Prepared using mock data, these files allow you to test analytics workbench offerings and capabilities before using real research data.

You must log into the Data Hub to access the Public Data page. After logging in, you will see a “Data Access” dropdown in the navigation bar. You can click “Public Data” to go to the Public Data page.

Once on the “Public Data” tab, you can:

• Download public data files
• Create or launch a workbench
• Transfer files to your workbench

To download files, select one or multiple files using one of following techniques:

• Option 1 – Select an Individual File: To select a single file, click the checkbox icon next to the file name.
• Option 2 – Select Multiple Files: To select multiple files, click the checkbox next to the files.
• Option 3 – Select All Files: Click “Select All” to select all files within the table.

After selecting files, click “Zip & Download,” and the files will appear in your browser’s download center as a zip file to save or open. The “Zip & Download” button will be greyed out until you select a file.

To launch the workbench, you can press the “Create Workbench” button on the Public Data page, which will automatically route you to the workbench application. After creating a workbench, you can go back to your workbench instance by pressing the “Launch Workbench” button (Figure 3).

After creating a workbench instance, you can transfer files to the workbench. To add files to a workbench, you can first select the file or files you want to transfer. Then, press the “Add to Workbench” button to transfer them to your workbench instance (Figure 4).
