Datmodo 1.0¶

Released August 31, 2026 · Everything through August 2026

Datmodo 1.0 is the first release of the Datmodo Data Platform. It brings together dashboards, data exploration, secure project spaces, large-file storage, and no-code data pipelines in one place for research teams. These notes give an overview of everything available as of the end of August 2026.

Highlights¶

Projects give each research team a shared space for its members, databases and files.
File Manager and the DDP Drive desktop app let you store, share and open very large research files.
Workflow Builder lets you build data pipelines visually: load, clean, join and export data on a schedule, with no code.
Fine-grained data roles let database owners decide exactly who can query and chart their data.
Public dashboards let you share results with people who don't have an account.

Single sign-on. Sign in with your institutional account. Your name and profile are filled in for you.
Datmodo branding throughout the app, the Portal and email notifications.
One navigation bar links Dashboards, SQL Lab, Projects, Files and Workflow Builder across the whole platform.

Projects¶

Create a project for your team and invite members by name or email. If you create a project, you become its project manager.
Project roles. Project managers manage members and settings. Project analysts work with the project's data. File managers and file analysts get access to files only. Changing someone's role updates their access everywhere right away.
Link databases to a project. Project members get the matching access to each linked database, and you can also manage access database by database.

Files and DDP Drive¶

File Manager in the Portal works like a familiar drive. You can browse folders, create folders, move and delete files, and upload by drag-and-drop with a progress tray.
Very large uploads. Files are uploaded in parts, so uploads of tens of gigabytes finish reliably, even when they take hours.
DDP Drive desktop app. Download the installer from the Portal, then connect your project's shared/ folder and your personal workspace so they open like a local drive on your computer.
Built-in help with step-by-step screenshots for connecting DDP Drive.

Workflow Builder¶

Build repeatable data pipelines on a visual canvas, with no code required.

Load data from any dataset you can access, with a row count and a schema preview, or straight from an external database by choosing a table or writing SQL.
Transform data with ready-made steps (join, cast column types, replace values, split strings and more). A custom Python step covers anything else. Each step has built-in help and examples.
Schedule workflows to run on a recurring schedule in your own time zone.
Run big jobs in the background on dedicated compute. When an export finishes, you get an email with a download link.
Jobs list shows every background run with its status, details and a download button.

Data access and roles¶

Database managers control who can use their database. They get full SQL Lab access and automatic access to new datasets created on it.
Dataset analysts can be added from the dataset edit screen and see only the datasets they're allowed to see.
Shared ownership. Database managers and dataset analysts can edit charts and dashboards built on their data, no matter who created them.
More database types can be connected out of the box.
Upload CSV, Excel and Parquet files (up to 50 MB) as new datasets.

Dashboards and charts¶

Public dashboards. Admins can mark a dashboard as public and share a link that works without signing in. Filters still work for viewers.
Images and clickable links can be shown in table charts.
