Page History

The organisations currently using PAT CAT have expressed interest in sharing data across their catchment boundaries. This functionality will be particularly useful to compare indicators across organisation and other organisation catchments and/or state borders. To enable data sharing without PEN CS becoming a data custodian we have expanded the PCS Network to handle the PAT CAT Network data travel. PCS Network does not store any data from the individual organisations using PAT CAT, but rather stores the details of the direct data connections, i.e. who sends what to who. Organisations are required to register to the PAT CAT Network through the PCS Network before they can share and view data. Only Super Admins can register to the PAT CAT Network.

Channel creating will be done real time. This means that the moment the user clicks and assuming that all validations are passed, then the data will be in the PCS Network and will be instantly available for viewing.

Channel Invitation

Only organisations who are registered as participants in the PAT CAT network will receive invitations to a channel. Only the owner/creator of a channel can send an invite to a channel. Invites will be shown in the invite list. An organisation can send a join request to the owner/creator of that public channel. Once the join request is accepted by the owner the channel will become available.

To invite an organisation to your channel, click on the '+ Invite' button:
