A geographical referential is a dataset providing spatial information, such as the administrative divisions of a country or a territory.For a couple years now, we have invested in developing data pipelines in order to make those geographical referentials available in the product.They are available as simple datasets that you can use via federation for example. But they are also available in services: Processors (Geojoin and Retrieve Administrative Divisions) Studio base maps Providing those geographical referential is not an easy work. We rely on external sources. Even if they are official sources, they are sometimes not consistent in their release date. Also the API may change, the schema may change. It’s hard to keep up with the release even for us, so we know it’s even harder for you. Here is our plan in releasing geographical referential in 2025.We will try to keep it as up-to-date as possible. Though keep in mind that those dates are a best case scenario based on our experience fo
Hello community! 👋The new Huwise experience offers many possibilities to help your users visualize and explore your data. To help you choose the right tool depending on your business needs, here is a complete overview—from no-code to custom applications—followed by our usage recommendations. 🗺️ The options matrix: from simplest to most advancedLevel Feature What it enables Who uses it? 1: Automatic Dataset preview (Data/Schema/Map tabs), and soon in the new “Explore” The user generates a table, chart, or map fully independently from the dataset Data consumer 2: Conversational Huwy conversational agent The user asks a question in natural language and gets an instant, tailored visualization Data consumer 3: No-code, per asset Custom view The data producer manually creates charts (bars, lines, pie…), maps, or KPI widgets attached to a dataset—customizable and embeddable on the asset page—to simplify access to the data asset Catalog curator / Data owner 4: No-
Hello, Whilst we have the ability to create choropleth maps in Marketplace, we don’t have yet to ability to customise colors and scales. This would be welcomed to allow companies to customise to corporate branding, etc. Thanks! Yiu-Shing

Is it possible to copy the full contents and paste from a field from the table view? For example the geo_shape when complex truncates. It would be great if we can copy and paste the whole field.
This week @yier.wu (Customer Support Specialist) and @frederic.passaniti (Solutions Architect) have broken down the biggest takeaways, limitations, and clever strategies discussed to keep your data publishing seamless. "Volume limits should never be an obstacle to publishing your datasets." — @Nicolas Terpolilli , Head of Product Delivery 📊 Understanding the limitsThe platform enforces three distinct types of technical limits based on how your datasets are ingested:1. Local file uploads (240 MB) The limit: applies to individual source files (CSV, JSON, XLSX, etc.) uploaded directly from your computer. Pro-tip: a single dataset can aggregate multiple sources, meaning you can combine multiple files that are each under 240 MB. 2. Remote connections (500 MB) The limit: applies to remote server data fetches via URLs, APIs, or data warehouse connectors (Snowflake, Databricks, Google Drive, etc.). Watch out: if an API response exceeds 500 MB, you'll receive a transfer error. This can
Hello Community! 👋We are launching a deep-dive initiative to bring our data to life and align it as closely as possible with your daily realities. To kick off this momentum, we have just rolled out two new features that are live starting today:1. A refreshed HomepageWe’ve redesigned the Hub's homepage to immediately highlight the latest datasets added or updated. No more searching around, the newest data now catches your eye as soon as you arrive.2. A data request form at your disposalIs a specific piece of data missing for your projects? Does a strategic dataset deserve more regular updates or specific enrichment?👉 You will now find a dedicated request form directly accessible in the Hub's top menu. Your feedback is what will drive our next data projects.An idea for what's next: what do you think?To make your life easier, we are also considering grouping certain key data into thematic "Data Packs" or by sector of use. Would this thematic "Packs" approach interest you? What would b
I’m wanting to build a dashboard that shows our various analytics for stakeholders and one I see in the portal under Analytics > Users is the estimated number of unique users who interacted with the workspace. How is this calculated? Ive tried to replicate the counts using various filters but can never get close. Has anyone built any stakeholder analytics pages that can offer some suggestions.
I would like to confirm whether the visualization features apply exclusively to data stored within the portal, or whether they also cover datasets referenced externally, such as those obtained via a harvester.
I would like to create collections, a grouping of assets which are related. For example on gov.uk they will release a report or finding and on the page will be everything related to it such as the report, data and links. How can we best achieve this in the marketplace experience?
We are preparing to migrate from the old platform to the new experience. We've made recent changes to one of our existing custom pages (https://data.townofcary.org/page/storydirectory/) by updating HTML/CSS in the main content area between the navigation menu bar and the footer. Do we need to do anything now to ensure the current content on this page will display once we migrate to the new experience? (We have about 10 custom pages in the same situation.)
Here’s how to safely automate dormant-user clean-up with the Huwise Automation API.💡 Strategic recommendations before you startBefore running any deletion script, we recommend setting clear rules to avoid revoking legitimate access:Set a reasonable inactivity threshold: For a first clean-up, favor 12 to 24 months. A 90-day threshold can be too short for a data portal where some users only log in once or twice per year. Segment your user populations: You can be stricter (e.g., 90 days) for invitations that were never activated, while staying more flexible with long-standing users. Protect critical accounts: Always exclude from your filters administrators, editors (publishers), data managers (data stewards), and service/API accounts. Notify your users: Send a reactivation email about 30 days before the deadline. This is a best practice and may also be required under GDPR.🛠️ The automation workflow (best practices)We recommend a 5-step approach to ensure data safety:Extract: Retrieve th
Hi,Is it possible to make a user an “admin” of a certain group, or is there any the blanket permission to allow users to edit all groups?Essentially we are in a project with a 3rd party where we want them to be able to add users to a group that has bespoke permissions to certain datasets, but we dont want to give this 3rd party the ability to edit all the groups on the portal. So if we can let them just add users to their one group, that would be very useful! Thanks Ryan
Hi, Is it possible to embed a custom view (map) created in the studio into our corporate website eg from this : Ecological Survey Sites — Open Data Portal?There used to be an option to get embed \ share \ widget codes. Do I need to create a duplicate page of the custom view to do this?
Hello everyone! 👋We’re seeing more and more companies adopting Huwy to boost exploring the data of their Huwise portals. But we also know that many of you are true builders and experiment with your own internal solutions.We’d like to take the community’s pulse on this balance between “off-the-shelf” solutions and “homegrown” developments.📊 The surveyWhat is your current setup regarding AI agents?Full Huwy : we use Huwy intensively and it covers all our current needs. Hybrid : we use Huwy, but we have also developed specific internal agents/scripts for particular use cases. Exploration : we are testing Huwy, but have not yet rolled out major AI initiatives. DIY (Do It Yourself) : we do not use Huwy, we have built our own agents/automation on our side. Pending : no generative AI or agents on our immediate roadmap yet.💬 We want your opinion!Beyond the vote, share your experience in the comments:For Huwy users : what is the use case that saves you the most time? For internal agent creat
Hi allWe would like to have a data type “URL” for our datasets. I have found a setting for the licenses that we can freely add and remove, but I haven’t found one for data types. There are datatypes that we never use (JSON, IP-address), and others that we would like to have, such as URL.Where can we add new data types in the backoffice?Or do we need Huwise to add that? If so, the base type of URL should be a string. Our dataportal is here: data.bs.ch Best regardsRenato
We would like a way for our users to favorite a dataset, as well as provided feed back as to what they liked about it.
We are setting up a process to update the resources for our datasets using the Automation API. I am looking for best practice advice. Here is what we currently do, starting with a dataset_id and a file that we want to upload: Retrieve the dataset_uid using the endpoint /api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/{dataset_id}. Retrieve the currently used resource_uid of the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources, with the dataset_uid from step 1. Upload the file to the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources/files, again using the dataset_uid from step 1. From the response I get the file_uid of the uploaded file. Update the dataset resource using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources/{resource_uid}, with the dataset_uid from step 1, the resource_uid from step 2, and the file_uid from step 3. Republish the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/pu
Hi everyone,I regularly use the "Analysis" tab to create visualizations on our datasets, and I encounter two unexpected behaviors when switching from Standard Mode to Advanced Mode. This limits the customization of our charts.I would like to share these two cases to see if other users are experiencing them or if an improvement is planned:1. Missing Breakdown options In Standard mode, I have access to a full list of options for my data breakdown.However, as soon as I click on "Edit in advanced mode", some of these breakdown options disappear from the dropdown menu and are no longer selectable. 2. Redundant label display on the X-axis When creating a time-based chart, the X-axis label displays correctly in Standard mode. When switching to Advanced Mode, the display changes and seems to force the display of the precision (e.g., year/month), creating an unaesthetic duplicate with the main label. Even when tweaking the "Axis precision" option, I cannot find a way to hide this duplicate or

Users sometimes report confusion in Huwise around configuring processors.We just updated the documentation for a specific processor to help make it clear, but here’s the key thing to understand about processing and types: The bottom line — processors run before types are appliedWhat you see in the interface may reflect the schema type, but processors still run on the original source value until typing is applied at the end. Source data is ingested (raw values) Processors run on those raw values Schema types are applied afterward In more detailHuwise runs processors on source values before schema typing is applied. This means the value displayed in the interface may already look typed, while processors are still using the original underlying source value.So if your source contains values like 0, 1, 0.0, 1.0, "No", "False", etc., processors operate on those underlying values, even if the field is typed as Boolean in the Schema.As a result, a value may appear as false in the interface
Hello,Is it possible to get a descending order by date using the OdsDatasetContext widget in a custom view ?I have tried something like below :<ods-dataset-context context="ctx" ctx-dataset="own_base" ctx-parameters="{'sort':'-start_date'}">[...]</ods-dataset-context>but it’s not a success…Thank you for your help.
HiI’m working on accessibility fixes for a client who is using a portal theme.Apparently, many of the issues originate from the portal theme. So I would need to edit the HTML in many places, and in some cases even add JavaScript.Currently, I can’t find any way to change the HTML, and I saw in the documentation that adding JavaScript isn’t allowed for security reasons, which I understand.So I was looking into how I can contribute to the theme, but I can’t seem to find how to do that. That’s why I opened this topic.Thanks for the feedback.Matthias
We are evaluating our move to the marketplace experience and support have been wonderful in helping achieve some of our goals that we’ve always wanted.One, is to have a couple of feeds on the front page showing the latest datasets but also latest publications (a new asset category we have created).Supports suggestion was to setup a couple of new contexts fed from a dataset of datasets. Which weve done and got so far but realised a dataset of datasets is just that. datasets only. Not assets. Also looking at the API I cannot see a way to actually query the asset catalogue. Question is: Has anyone successfully implemented a feed of various assets powered by the catalogue itself and not having to maintain a separate dataset? Attached is my current code block that reads from a dataset of datasets and incorporates the suggestions from support. Although the refine.category doesnt work as dataset of datasets doesnt include anything but datasets and also no category. Also the Asset slug wont wo
Dear Support Team,we have received the following request from a user regarding dataset https://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100120/, which we would like to forward to you for further investigation.The user reports an inconsistency in the handling of the field vu_jahr: The field is defined as a date in the dataset schema. However, when exporting the dataset, the field appears to be delivered as a string. When querying the dataset via ODSQL (using a SELECT vu_jahr GROUP BY vu_jahr query), the result returns proper datetime values (e.g. 2011-01-01 00:00:00+00:00, etc.). This inconsistent behavior causes issues in the user’s synchronization process. While they have implemented a workaround on their side, they asked whether this could be fixed at the platform level.Example query used by the user:https://data.bs.ch/api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/100120/exports/csv?lang=de&timezone=Europe%2FBerlin&use_labels=false&delimiter=%3B&select=vu_jahr&group_by=vu_jahrCould you
