Project configurations for the Data Curator App

The file tenants.json controls which DCCs appear in DCA. It contains a json object tenants which holds one json object per DCC. Each DCC object requires:\

• name: The name of the DCC to appear in the DCA selection menu\
• synapse_asset_view: The synapse ID of the DCCs fileview for DCA. Must include "syn"\
• config_location: Filepath to the DCC's DCA config file. More details below.\

Each DCC will have its own directory to store configuration files. At minimum it will have dca_config.json. This file can be validated against schemas/dca_config.schema.json. At the top level it contains three json objects, dcc, dca, and schematic.\

dcc contains various configurations about your DCC and data model:\

• name - name of DCC in dropdown menu
• synapse_asset_view - synapse ID of asset view.
• data_model_url - data model URL (RAW github file).
• data_model_info - URL to a description of the data model, such as release notes.
• template_menu_config_file - URL to DCA template dropdown file.
• logo_location - URL to logo file.
• logo_link - link to DCC website.
• dcc_help_link - link for users to find help about DCA.
• portal_help_link - link for users to find help about their portal.

dca contains DCA-specific customizations:\

• use_compliance_dashboard - TRUE or FALSE. Only FALSE currently supported. Data compliance dashboard.
• primary_col - center header color hex code.
• secondary_col - right header color hex code.
• sidebar_col - left header color hex code.

schematic contains several objects for passing parameters to schematic commands:\

• manifest_generate

  • output_format-excelorgoogle_sheets\. Schemtic manifest get ption.
  • use_annotations - TRUE or FALSE. Schemtic manifest get option.

• model_validate

  • restrict_rules - TRUE or FALSE. Schematic model validate and submit option.

• model_submit

  • use_schema_labels - TRUE or FALSE. Schematic model submit option.
  • table_manipulation - replace or upsert. Schematic model submit option.
  • manifest_record_type - One of table_and_file, file_only , file_and_entities or table_file_and_entities. Schematic model submit option.
  • hide_blanks - TRUE or FALSE. Schematic model submit option.

Each DCC also needs a template configuration file. This controls which data types are accessible to users and if they contain record-based or file-based data. It can be generated by hand or automatically from a data model using the dca-template-config-action github action. See an example workflow in a data model repo. This json file can be validated against schemas/dca_template_config.schema.json. The top level of the file needs a json array of objects named manifest_schemas. Each object in the array requires:

• display_name: Display name of the data type
• schema_name: Name of the schema
• type: record or file
• project_scope: Array of Synapse IDs for cross manifest validation. Optional.

Project scope is only needed for data types that use cross manifest validation. In most cases it can be ommitted.
