The Expression processor is often used for calculations, but it also includes very handy functions to clean, transform, and enrich your data before publishing. Here are a few practical examples you can reuse right away 👇 ✏️ Text formattingUse these functions to standardize casing, improve readability, and generate clean display fields (names, labels, titles…). Need Function Expression Output Uppercase upper() =upper("hello") "HELLO" Lowercase lower() =lower("HELLO") "hello" Capitalize first letter capitalize() =capitalize("hello world") "Hello world" Capitalize each word capitalize_all() =capitalize_all("hello world") "Hello World"   ✂️ Extract / slice textPerfect to rework structured identifiers (IDs, references…), grab prefixes/suffixes, or rebuild a required format.

Hello dear community :)We have created a new visualization here: Veranstaltungen im Raum St. Jakob.This visualization is based on four other datasets, and we would like to reference it. However, we can't find where or how to add this link/reference.Could you please let us know how to add our visualization as a source/usage reference on the four original datasets?Thank you for your help.Best regards,Boris 

In the past we were able to draw a polygon in a geographical map (e.g. Germany Postal Codes). This was used to extract a specific list of postal codes and areas based on the polygon. Right now it does not seem to be possible to draw those polygons on the map anymore. Is there a way around it or a possibility in the future again? 

Hello Community! 👋We’ve seen a few questions recently regarding the ability to export the dataset catalog from the main interface in the new experience. Here is a quick update on where things stand and how you can export your catalog today.❓ What happened to the export button?In the previous interface, there was a dedicated button directly on the catalog page that allowed users to export the full list of datasets.In the new experience, this dedicated button is no longer present on the catalog page. It has been moved to the API console.🛠️ How to export your catalog list nowYou can still easily export your full catalog (or a filtered selection) using our Platform API.You can retrieve your catalog in CSV, Excel (XLSX), JSON, and other standard formats using the following endpoint:HTTPGET /api/explore/v2.1/catalog/exports/{format}Quick examples: Export as CSV: /api/explore/v2.1/catalog/exports/csv Export as Excel: /api/explore/v2.1/catalog/exports/xlsx Export as JSON: /api/explore/v2

For a spatial dataset, I can add an additional geographic projection e.g. 27700 for BNG in the backoffice. But this doesn’t appear in the export tab as an option, and my testing shows that the export is still in WGS84 - the default. Am I missing something or is this feature not working in the marketplace experience?

Hey everyone! 👋We’ve recently received some questions regarding how geographic point previews behave when transitioning from the old experience to the new experience, specifically around map zoom levels. We wanted to share some context behind this design choice and how you can best navigate it.🔍 What changed? Old experience: clicking a single row/point zoomed directly in on that specific coordinate. New experience: clicking a point now displays a global map view showing the geographic coverage of the entire dataset, with the selected point highlighted within that context. 💡 Why was this change made?This was an intentional product design decision.While zooming in directly on a single point can be useful, it often lacks visual context. For example, if a point is located in a rural area, a forest, or in the middle of the ocean, a close-up zoom doesn't provide enough surrounding landmarks to help users figure out where that point actually is relative to the rest of the data.By default

Hello,I'd like to update the metadata for the assets using the Automation API. It seems that not all metadata fields can be modified directly via the API.Where can I find these restrictions?Using `/automation/v1.0/metadata/templates/default/fields`, you can see all fields, including those that cannot be modified.Furthermore, it’s not possible to retrieve the values of a list, such as for `default.theme`. 

Après plusieurs tests de configuration, le support Opendatasoft nous a indiqué que le connecteur HTTP en OAuth2 ne permet pas encore de limiter l’autorisation d’accès à un site SharePoint en particulier “Sites.Selected” (voir Controlling app access on a specific SharePoint site collections - ESPC Conference, 2025). Pour le moment, il est uniquement possible d’accorder une autorisation sur tous les sites SharePoint de notre organisation ce qui n’est pas conforme aux bonnes pratiques de sécurité « least privilege access ».Nous espérons que ce développement sera programmé dès que possible par Opendatasoft. Nous vous remercions d’avance de soutenir ce besoin et de partager votre expérience à ce sujet.Nadia (Ville de Bruxelles)Auto-translation 🪄After several configuration tests, Opendatasoft support informed us that the HTTP connector in OAuth2 does not yet allow to limit the access authorization to a particular SharePoint site “Sites.Selected” (see Controlling app access on a specific Sha

What if your metadata quality was guaranteed right from publication?Soon, metadata marked as "required" will actually be enforced at publication time, ensuring better-documented and easier-to-discover datasets. Complete metadata for more relevant search results 🚀Being able to make certain metadata mandatory before publication will simplify checks, save time, and improve the portal's reliability.The payoff: datasets that are easier to find for all your users (humans, AI agents, and other portals via harvesting). Optimize your metadata before the feature goes live (early September) 📆👉 Have you set some metadata as "required" in your custom templates? We recommend checking that it's properly filled in across all your data assets ahead of this update. 👉 Don't have time to fill everything in before activation? No worries, metadata currently marked as "required" but left blank on your scheduled datasets will automatically switch to "recommended," so automatic publications won't be blocke

A few customers have recently asked us the same question: "In the old experience, I could pick which indicator to display from a dropdown menu on a dataset's chart. That dropdown is gone in the new experience, is this a bug?"Good news: it's not a bug. It reflects an intentional change in how we've structured chart exploration, so here's the full story. What changedIn the previous experience, the Analyze tab opened with a view pre-configured by the data publisher, and end users could then modify that view themselves, including switching indicators via a dropdown.The problem: this blended two very different kinds of usage into one tool, making it hard to tell apart:someone following a guided view the publisher had deliberately set up,  someone doing their own free-form analysis of the dataset.To fix that, we split these into two dedicated tools:Custom views : display a chart pre-configured by the publisher, exactly as intended. This is what replaced the old Analyze tab. Explorer : our ne

Michel Lutz, Chief Data Officer et responsable Data & IA chez TotalEnergies, nous livre une vision ultra-pragmatique et inspirante du futur de nos organisations d'ici 2030.Face à l'explosion des volumes de données et à la complexité des systèmes, l'IA générative et l'automatisation s'imposent comme des impératifs d'efficacité.

La réponse est un "non" catégorique.Voici les 4 grands enseignements à retenir de son interview :💡 Le CDO, gardien du bon sens : face au marketing technologique omniprésent, le rôle du leader data évolue.
