Improvements

Export visible or all properties

Collection properties can be hidden on the listing view. When exporting your collection to CSV, when at least one property is hidden, you can choose between two export options:

• Export only visible properties
• Export all properties

When clicking on "Export all properties", the CSV file will contains columns for all properties, including the hidden ones.

Copy/pasting data with selected items

After copy/pasting data from cells, you can now copy selected items (single items or all collection items) using "Edit -> Copy" or the Ctrl + c keyboard shortcut.

UI Improvements

The rename and delete collection actions are now directly accessible from the collection tree in the sidebar.

Limit CSV and copy/pasting imports to 10k items

Datablist is currently tested to work smoothly with 10k items collections. This limit is temporary and will be increased in the future.

New Features

Copy-Pasting

Copy-pasting is natural way of importing and exporting data between applications. We wanted to do it right to be compatible with most of the tools you already use.

In May, we implemented copy-pasting from other spreadsheets applications, from html tables and smart copy-pasting between Datablist collections.

On a Datablist collection page, when you paste data, you can create new properties, or map the properties from you pasted data with your existing collection properties.

Spreadsheets Copy/Pasting

Starting from now, you can copy and paste data between Datablist and spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Airtable, Excel, etc.).

Html Table Copy/Pasting

When pasting html data into Datablist, if a html table is found, Datablist automatically extracts the content. And if headers are available, we use them to create collection properties.

This feature also works in the other way, when copying data from Datablist to paste it in Notion, Typora, etc. Datablist copies a html version of your data for applications that handle it.

Smart Copy/Pasting between Datablist collections

Finally, playing with data between Datablist collections has never been easier! When you copy and paste items from a Datablist collection to another one, it keeps your collection proprieties options (name, data type, etc). On the property mapping step, when creating new properties, it will keep the options from the source properties.

New actions launcher

We want to provide a smooth user experience. Managing your data in Datablist must be as simple as using a spreadsheet, while taking advantage of more structured data types.

Structured data types allow you to run actions directly from your items in Datablist. In May, we've revamped this "actions launcher"!

Now, available actions are displayed directly once you have at least one selected item.

We have also improved how to select items quickly. You can click and maintain your click pressed while moving over the item checkboxes to select several items, fast!

Sidebar Resizing

For large screens or complex collections hierarchy, you can now resize your left sidebar.

New keyboard shortcuts

ctrl + f to search

ctrl + a to select all items
