Entries into the portal should be descriptive of the actor, initiative, output, or event the entry describes. If text is included in the content or excerpt fields, it should be reproduced from the already published resource or the actor or initiativeâs official materials.
To obtain a comprehensive and accurate overall picture of the transparency initiatives landscape, it is important to balance considerations of accuracy and fair comment with the need to maintain a trusted environment for participation among all stakeholder groups.
Primary authority on content, aside from the ACTâs overall editorial control, should sit with the parties responsible for producing or administering the initiative, output, event, or actor described in an entry.

Purpose and function of the portal
</aside>
The Portal can receive data in non-English languages and is capable of multi-lingual support â we hope to roll this out in future iterations. See here for more.
Most data entry from general users will take place via an Airtable form accessible on the portal homepage that places their submitted data into a temporary staging area on Airtable for validation and processing by the project lead. While this will be effective for individual submissions from general users, it is not ideal for bulk data entry.
<aside> đĄ If you have any questions about the fields used in this form, go here, or if youâre finding it difficult to decide how to make decisions about classifying an entry, go here.
</aside>
If youâre entering a large number of entries, the Airtable form might be a little inconvenient. If so, we have two other methods available to you, which we can share upon request (see below).
There are two methods of bulk entry available to trusted users who will be adding a large number of items.
<aside> â If you would like to access either of these bulk upload methods, contact the project lead.
