Allocating DataCap on allocator.tech

Scenario: you want to review an application to your allocator and sign for the initial tranche of DataCap

Review the application and edit the amount of DataCap to allocate.

1. Login to your allocator on allocator.tech.
   
   If you cannot login with your GitHub ID, check your json file in the Allocator Registry:https://github.com/filecoin-project/Allocator-Registry/tree/main/Allocatorsto confirm you are using a GitHub ID that is on file.
   
   

2. Once you have logged in, you can use your filters to view your specific allocator pathway. (The name matches the GitHub repository)

3. Find the issue number you wish to review and click the detail button on the right. 

4. Review the application information and then select the amount of DataCap to award using the fields at the bottom right

1. 1. 1. Enter a fixed amount from the drop down. 1TiB, 5TiB, etc.

OR

1. 1. 2. Enter a manual amount in the field:

Option 1: Enter a number, eg. 100

Option 2: Enter a number and units, eg. 100 TiB

Option 3: You can enter a percentage of the total, eg. 10%

An important note: This field allows you to enter the max amount you want to give, you do not have to give the amount requested by the client on the first allocation. 

Please refer to your allocator application, specifically question #30 regarding how you will give DataCap to applicants. LINK to applications

For example, if you said you would give new applicants a max of 100TiBs and then review the deals before giving more. But instead, you gave an applicant asking for 1PiB a week the full amount on the first allocation, you are failing your own rules and will not receive any more DataCap to distribute. 

Scenario: Allocate a second, subsequent allocation:

1. 1. Once a client has used 75% of the DataCap allocated in the first allocation, you will be prompted to refill the allocation.

2. After the first allocation, you do not need to complete a review. You will be instead prompted to connect your ledger and propose the next allocation.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot currently select the value you want to allocate. The allocation will be double the initial allocation amount. (There is a work item to improve this) but for you, you will sign on double the amount. Once you sign, you can check the application to see how much was allocated.
