I think I remember that in the legacy experience, in the Table view, if you mouse hovered over the field (column) heading, the field’s Description metadata would appear. This was and would be quite useful for fields which are defined in complex or ambiguous ways, so that the user can quickly understand the derivation of the values and the meaning of the data.Currently in the marketplace experience, hover over the field names just reproduces the name. Could it be changed (back) to show the description?cheerssteve

What if your users could go beyond the predefined table view to explore your data? Discover the new features designed to help them get more value from it (features are only available with the new experience)A flexible table view to focus on what mattersLet your users tailor how your datasets are displayed by showing or hiding the columns of their choice.        A new dedicated view to explore your geographic dataGive your users a new way to visualize your geographic data with a dedicated, configurable view: they choose which fields to display and how to represent them. It complements the formats already available and lets them switch easily from one to another (chart, pie chart) to explore their data as they need.        A table view aligned with every use of your dataThe default table view can no longer be configured. It now follows your datasets' schema automatically, which is the source of truth. What your users see on screen matches exactly the data they get when they use it, inclu

Hi everyone,The West of England Combined Authority publishes its open data on a Huwise portal. Two of its dashboards show how a public body can turn raw datasets into tools that residents, analysts and decision-makers can use directly.Greenhouse Gas Emissions DashboardThis dashboard breaks down territorial emissions of CO₂, methane and N₂O by local authority, sector and sub-sector. It also shows the emissions that fall within each local authority's scope of influence. Population and area figures sit alongside the emissions data, so you can compare territories of different sizes fairly.Domestic Energy Performance (EPC) DashboardThis dashboard brings together nearly 344,000 domestic Energy Performance Certificates issued across the West of England since 2012. You can filter by property type, tenure, construction age, heating and fuel type. You can also compare current and potential energy ratings, energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.Both dashboards take published datasets and add the co

We’re currently trying to navigate the new interface in the back office.  There is a filter we were using on a daily basis which we cannot see/find.We used to be able to filter for Last modified and date range:The new experience provides only a single date for selection -- could you reinstate the ability for a range to be selected?   

I realise this may be a bit niche for some people, especially if you haven’t use Claude Code before, but I have developed an effective workflow for building pages on the portal without having to directly code in HTML \ CSS \ Angular with AI coding assistants and I wanted to share my experience. I hope it is useful.If you don’t have the experience in web design and software development that the wizards at Huwise have, the code editor can be baffling and frightening. It was for me, and even though I have developed a bit of expertise I am a long way from an expert. Claude Code (also cursor, codex etc) can help. I won’t go into the specifics of using an AI coding agent here, but will describe the steps I took to use Claude to create the page. The skills (guidance docs for Claude) I built are all here - use and adapt as you wish.Install Claude code and buy a subscription (plenty of docs online for this). Use the Opus model. Set up the local dev environment. Give Claude this url and ask it t

Have you ever seen an "Alert detected during processing" message when trying to publish a dataset? Or maybe a colleague reported missing rows in a dataset that published without throwing a hard error?When a dataset hits a limit during processing, publication can either fail completely or stop partway, leaving some of your data or sources out. Here is a quick breakdown to help you identify the cause and get your dataset published.🔍 1. First, check the message typeBefore diving into troubleshooting, check how the error begins in your back office (Asset Settings or Content page): Alert detected during processing: follow the steps below! This means a quota, workspace setting, or platform threshold was reached. Error during processing: this is not a quota issue. Check if your source URL/file is reachable or if the schema/structure changed. 💡 Email vs. Back Office: email alerts tell you a limit was reached, but not which one. Always check the message inside the dataset’s back-office page

Hey everyone 👋A question that comes up now and then: "To connect my third-party harvester (a regional geoportal, data.gouv.fr, a GIS platform...) to a Huwise portal, what do I actually need ? An API URL, a DCAT metadata URL... both?"The answer that tends to surprise people: it's the same URL. The catalog's DCAT export covers both roles at once:https://your-portal.example.com/api/v2/catalog/exports/dcatThat single address is enough to reference the entire catalog in any DCAT-compatible harvester, whatever tool sits on the other end.Want to go further:📘 The step-by-step guide (originally written for data.gouv.fr, but the method holds for any third-party DCAT harvester): Referencing your datasets on data.gouv.fr 🛠️ The full API reference (available parameters, DCAT-AP formats you can enable on request, authentication): Catalog DCAT export docsSo, who here has already hooked up an external harvester to their Huwise portal? Curious to hear your setups 👇

A few months after our brand evolution, our support email addresses are changing too! They are notably used to send you alerts related to your portal, your datasets and any errors.        👉 Make sure to add these new addresses to your approved senders if your organisation filters unknown senders (or check your spam folder):support@email.huwise.com notifications@email.huwise.com accounts@email.huwise.com subscriptions@email.huwise.com

Hi everyone! 👋A recurring question since the migration: in the old experience, some of you could split/ventilate a chart's values by a secondary field (e.g., a bar chart broken down by category). Here's where that stands in the new experience.📊 TodayThis kind of multi-dimension breakdown isn't available as a point-and-click option in the current chart tools.🔧 What you can do nowIf the breakdown is a fixed, known need, you can build a dedicated Custom View or a Studio chart pre-configured with that grouping so end users see it directly. For fully dynamic exploration, this is a case where a Code Editor page (custom ods-chart-query setup) gives you the most flexibility today.If it's important for your use case, tell us more in the comments (which dataset, which fields you'd want to compare) so we can factor it into future explorer/chart work.

Hello,When browsing a dataset, I would like to modify / update the map based on Explore by query settings. ExampleI’ve filtered to any record greater than 5MW, but I’d like to see that change reflected in the map tab. Thanks!

Hi Community!A few of you migrating from the old experience have run into this: reuses submitted under the old experience now show up under Requests in the new back office, but clicking "view asset in catalog" returns a 404 — and sometimes the Showcase content isn't even visible/editable from the back office.🔍 What's actually happeningThis isn't a migration bug : it's a permissions issue. Reuses are migrated into Showcases, which are a type of "external/other asset." If your admin group doesn't have permissions on that asset type, you won't be able to see or open them, even as a super admin.✅ FixGo to your permission/group settings and make sure the relevant group has access to external/other assets (not just Datasets). Once that's granted, the migrated Showcases become visible and the 404 goes away.

Hi everyone! 👋A few of you have asked about custom basemaps since moving to the new experience, so here's a quick clarification. 🗺️ What's supported todayCustom basemaps you've configured on your domain still work the same way: raster basemaps are supported across the new maps (Studio, Custom Views, Explorer). ⚠️ What's not supported yetWMS basemaps are not currently supported on the new maps, they won't appear in the basemap list. In the Explorer specifically, switching between your configured basemaps isn't available yet: only the default basemap is shown. This is possible in Studio and Custom Views, where you can already pick from your configured basemaps. 🔧 WorkaroundIf you need a specific basemap on a given dataset today, build a Custom View or Studio map with the basemap of your choice. 🚀 What's nextBasemap selection within the Explorer is on our radar as part of upcoming style configuration work. Stay tuned !

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

Your users now have two complementary search modes to more easily find the data assets available on your portal:Broad search: semantic search still handles typos, synonyms, etc., and now suggests results based on searches made by other users on your portal  Precise search: lexical search allows you to find an asset using exact terms present in its title, description or technical identifier.👉 Learn more
