Earthdata Search provides badging with capability icons for datasets that support customizations. Currently, Earthdata Search supports EOSDIS Service Interface (ESI) and OPeNDAP customization. If configured correctly, a UMM-S record will trigger the appropriate icon to be displayed on the associated collection in the Earthdata Search interface, allowing a user to better understand what is available to them.

Will be true if any of the collection's associated services has a defined “SubsetType” or “InterpolationType”, or multiple “SupportedProjections” values are defined within any of its associated services. A collection’s “has_transforms” flag will only be false if none of its associated services has a defined “SubsetType” or “InterpolationType”, and none of its associated services has more than one “SupportedProjections” value.

If some of the collections that your DAAC provides do not offer the same capabilities as other collections, you will need a separate UMM-S record that describes the services offered by those collections. For example, If you have 10 collections that offer spatial subsetting, variable subsetting, and reformatting, and 5 collections that offer only spatial subsetting and reformatting, then you will need 2 UMM-S records. One record would be associated with the first 10 and the other with the second set of 5.

...

Using MMT, create a UMM-S record to describe the service capabilities of your collection. For detailed instructions on that process, please refer to the MMT User Guide.

UI Step

When creating the UMM-S record, on the "Service Information" page the type must be either ESI or OPeNDAP for a customizable badge to appear.

UI Step

When creating the UMM-S record, pay special attention to the "Options" page. On that page there are 2 fields that will trigger icons for EDSC to display: "Subset Types" and "Supported Output Formats".

titleESI Collection Note

For ESI collections, metadata contained in the tags created by background jobs may also impact the display of the capability iconsbadges. If your collections are showing something other than what you believe should be showing, please contact the EDSC team to investigate.
