Make actions available in Data Marketplace

Updated: February 20, 2026

Administrators can add and remove actions. Actions in Data Marketplace start workflows. They can be made available in the following locations:

In the search results page.
- In Data Marketplace in Search, actions are available in the Need help? section if no search results are found.
- In standalone Data Marketplace, actions are available in the Actions section.
In the primary action area, at the bottom of an asset preview.
In the Actions tab page in an asset preview.

Important considerations

Even though you can still configure the actions for the landing page via Settings > Search > Landing Page > Actions, the actions are no longer visible on the Data Marketplace landing page.
Data Marketplace shows the Start Label of the workflow as the action's button.
The out-of-the-box Request Access workflow assumes the request starts from the data basket. To use it as a primary action or asset action in Data Marketplace, make sure to apply customizations.
Only the initial workflow opens in Data Marketplace. If a workflow starts another workflow, the follow-up workflow doesn't open in Data Marketplace.
Actions are based on workflows and their configuration. Workflows can be configured to be available only for certain asset types or users, and they can be paused. If data consumers don't see a specific action, the workflow configuration may give an indication on the reason.

On the main toolbar, click → Settings.
The Settings page opens.
In the Search section, click Actions and Preview.

Select the actions.

If a data consumer doesn't have access to the workflow or the workflow doesn't apply to the asset's asset type, the action will not appear in the asset preview.
