Hi folks, we are wrapping the year up with a huge UI update + two new sources.

Let’s get into it!

The Highlight of December

Preview Mode for Merging Duplicate Groups

This improvement in our preview mode is a big step towards making data handling and automation easy and accessible for everyone; it doesn't just add simplicity but makes it visual.

How It Was Before

Before we implemented this, the preview mode was not only harder to understand but also visually confusing when trying to understand how the data would be merged.

The preview mode wasn't intuitive and made it difficult for users to confidently make merging decisions. Additionally, there was no clear indication of which record would be the master record in the merging process.

The Changes We Made

  • We added deeper and clearer descriptions and labels to every part
  • We grouped the settings of the conflicting properties and separated them visually
  • We separated the master item selection configuration visually
  • We added labels to the merging preview of each duplicate group
  • We added colors that highlight the master and secondary items
  • We added an action to remove an item from the duplicate group

How This is Going To Make Your Life Easier

  • Clear Visual Understanding: Thanks to our new color-coding and improved layout, you'll instantly see which records are being merged and how they fit together
  • Reduced Error Risk: We've added better labels and grouping to make sure you don't accidentally merge the wrong records or pick the wrong master record
  • Increased Confidence: With our detailed preview, you'll feel much more confident about merging decisions
  • Time Savings: Our new intuitive interface means you'll spend less time reviewing and confirming merge operations
  • Greater Control: You can now remove items from duplicate groups whenever you want, giving you more flexibility with your data

All these improvements make it way easier to keep your data clean and accurate, with much less effort on your part.

New Features and Improvements

New Features

Well, no new features, but 2 new sources entered Datablist this month.

Let’s begin with our new data sources and what they’re good for:

LinkedIn Jobs Scraper

Now you can scrape LinkedIn jobs as a Datablist source.

How to Use It:

  1. Create a new Collection
  2. Click on “See all sources”
  3. Choose “LinkedIn Jobs Scraper”

Why we did it: We thought it just made sense, after having an Indeed source – the biggest job board worldwide – already available as a source, having also a LinkedIn Jobs source – the second largest.

Remote CSV/JSON source

Now you can connect remote CSV/JSON sources to Datablist and keep your collections synchronized with external data sources.

This feature is particularly valuable for teams working with:

  • Multiple data sources across different platforms
  • Frequently updated datasets
  • Automated reporting systems

How To Use It:

  • Create a collection
  • Click on “See all sources"
  • Select "Remote CSV/JSON Import"
