Troubleshooting Universe

Universe shows a message when part of it cannot reach DataMind, cannot start a download or cannot load. Find the message in the tables below to see what it means and what to do. None of these messages stops the rest of DataMind OS from working.

Find and fix a message

  1. Find the message in the table for its part of Universe.
  2. If the message says your network cannot reach a site, ask your administrator to allow that site. Then click Try again in Ask AI, or click play on the DataMind FM card.
  3. If the message says your account lacks access, ask your administrator for the permission it names. The Oda permissions are listed on Get DataMind Oda from Universe.
