# Breadcrumbs and Inventory

<mark style="color:red;">The steps on this page will be performed by DataSF. We're including it here for the sake of transparency but feel free to skip!</mark>

## Breadcrumbs

In order to track a dataset through the publishing steps, DataSF has a system called "breadcrumbs" which are included on all workflows. These *breadcrumbs* are included on teams conversations and our Asana publishing tracker

* **Socrata Dataset:** TBC (May end up being a list of related datasets)
* **Teams Conversation:** Use <https://tinyurl.com/app/> to add the thread link
* **Asana Ticket:** Use <https://tinyurl.com/app/> to create the ticket link
* **Airtable Inventory:** Find or create an Airtable link immediately. If we end up publishing multiple datasets related to the topic this can become a list.
* **FME Workspace:** TBC
* **dbt Model:** NA
* **Pull Request**: NA
* **Source Data:** NA
* **Other Links:** NA

## Inventory

DataSF currently uses an Airtable base to keep track of all datasets which are candidates for publishing -- whether they are publicly available or not. This system allows us to tie datasets to their data system and track their priority and value.

DataSF will either create a new entry or update an existing one when kicking off the data publishing process.
