Prerequisites
- A Narrative account with access to the data plane
- At least one active compute pool on that data plane
- To set the data plane default: ownership of the data plane
Set a default
1
Open the data plane's Compute Pools tab
The tab lists the active pools on the data plane, including pools your company reaches as a collaborator.
2
Choose the action on the pool's row
- Set as My Company’s Default appears on any active pool the tab lists, whether your company owns it or reaches it as a collaborator.
- Set as Data Plane Default appears on the data plane owner’s own active pools.
3
Confirm the change
The Default column marks the pool each level has named. When your company’s default supersedes the data plane’s, the data plane’s mark is greyed out.
Setting or clearing either default also moves the compute pool selected in the context selector onto whichever pool now resolves. The selector’s pool is sent as the job’s
compute_pool_id — level 1 of the chain — so a session left pinned to the previous pool would outrank the default you just set.Check the defaults in force
The data plane’s Overview tab reports both levels side by side:
Because level 3 outranks level 4, the data plane’s default stays on the page even when your company’s own default is the one in force. It renders read-only for a collaborator, so you can still see what you would fall back to if you cleared yours.
