Configuring Listings Capabilities¶

This topic describes the fields for capabilities that you can configure for a listing. Depending on whether you offer a paid listing, a private listing, or a marketplace listing, you must complete different fields.

After you configure the listing, publish the listing. See Publishing a Listing.

Basic Information¶

The following table describes the available fields in the Basic Information section.

Field Name	Description	Example
Type	The type of listing. After you create a listing and attach a share, you cannot change the listing type.	Available Values: Free, Personalized, or Paid.
Publishing as	The provider profile used to publish the listing to consumers. You must create a provider profile before you can publish a listing. See Becoming a Provider of Listings.
Title	The title of the listing. The listing title cannot exceed 110 characters, but it is recommended that the title is between 40-60 characters. All major words should be capitalized (i.e. follow the title case format). The title appears below your company name on the listing tile, and it must be unique (i.e. different from any other listings you may have). If you decide to offer similar listings, such as a Free listing to showcase a subset of your data, and a Personalized listing to let consumers request the full dataset, use similar but distinct titles. In this example, you could append - Sample to the Free listing title. If you provide free listings to showcase other listings on the Snowflake Marketplace, use a - Demo or - Sample suffix. If you provide free listings for a limited time, use a - Trial suffix. This option is not available for free (or paid off-platform) private listings.	Historical Weather by Postcode.
Subtitle	Subtitle for the listing. The subtitle cannot exceed 110 characters. Use sentence case for the subtitle and do not repeat the title. This option is not available for free (or paid off-platform) private listings.	Historical weather data by location.
Category	Listings are categorized to make them easy to find on the Snowflake Marketplace. Select the desired category from the drop-down list of available values. This option is not available for free (or paid off-platform) private listings.
Terms of Service	Specifies a link to the Terms of Service agreement for the listing. Consumers must accept the terms before they can access the listing. Terms of Service agreements are required for free listings, and are optional for personalized listings. Select one of the following: Standard Agreement for Marketplace Products: Snowflake provides a standard terms of service agreement for Snowflake Marketplace products, called the Standard Agreement for Marketplace Products. This agreement is available at: https://www.snowflake.com/marketplace/standard-agreement/. You can choose to use the Standard Agreement as the terms of service agreement for your listing.

Sample SQL Queries¶

You can specify a valid sample SQL query that consumers can use to verify that your data product was successfully installed in their Snowflake account.

Note

A valid SQL query is required in order for you to publish a Marketplace listing. SQL queries are optional when publishing private listings.

The sample SQL has the following requirements:

The query must return at least one row.
The query must reference objects that are explicitly in the share.
Objects must be qualified using SCHEMA.OBJECT. Do not include the database name. For example, EXAMPLE_SCHEMA.TABLE_A.

The following table describes the available fields in the Sample SQL Queries section.

Field Name	Description	Example
Title	Descriptive title for the query to help consumers understand the data. You can add more than one example.	Determine if an outdoor event could be affected by rain.
Description (Optional)	Description of the example with additional instructions, such as the name of the schema, sample tables, fields, or use cases. Use <schema>.<table> format when referencing tables and views in your SQL. Do not include the database name in the query, because customers can create custom database names when they get your listing.	If you are hosting an outdoor event in the next 7 days, use our forecast data to determine if the event might be affected by rain.
SQL Query	Code for your sample SQL queries. Snowflake automatically validates your sample queries. To be valid, a sample query must return at least one row. If a query fails to validate, you can save the listing but the listing cannot be published until all sample queries are successfully validated. You must select a warehouse to use to validate the SQL query.

Region Availability (Marketplace Listings Only)¶

The following table describes the available fields in the Region Availability section.

Field Name	Description
Region Availability	By default, your listing is available in All regions. Choosing all regions ensures the availability of your listing in any future regions added by Snowflake. For paid listings, selecting this option makes the listing available in supported regions and any future supported regions added by Snowflake. If your listing has specific regional limitations, select All regions to change the region availability to Custom regions and select the regions in which you want to offer your data product. When you choose custom regions, your listing is still visible in all Snowflake Marketplace regions, but consumers can only get your data product in the regions you specify.
Fulfillment method	Automatic fulfillment is selected by default. With cross-cloud auto-fulfillment, your data product is automatically fulfilled to a region and you incur costs only when there is consumer demand in that region. When you use auto-fulfillment, you must also select a refresh frequency at which to update the data product shared with consumers. You must select a refresh frequency of at least 8 days. For more details on auto-fulfillment, refer to Configuring Cross-Cloud Auto-fulfillment. If you can’t use auto-fulfillment, select Manual to manually replicate your data product. To fulfill requests, you must set up accounts in regions with consumer demand, manually replicate the product to each account, create secure shares in each account, and attach those shares to this listing. Refer to Manually Replicate Data Before Fulfilling a Listing Request
