Data Manager (Beta) release in the Datarock platform

Data Manager (Beta) in Datarock lets users manage images and metadata, including editing, rotating, cropping, and bulk updates via CSV. This guide covers key features, error handling, and tips for efficient use.

What's New

We're excited to introduce Data Manager in beta, a new feature in the Datarock platform that allows you to manage your images and metadata directly within the platform. This guide serves as your complete reference for getting started with Data Manager.

If you want to participate in this beta release, please contact us at customersuccess@datarock.com.au.

Why we created Data Manager

You've told us that:

  • You need better tools to view and edit image metadata

  • You want the ability to rotate and crop images in the platform
  • You need clearer error reporting

Data Manager addresses these needs, allowing you to handle image management tasks without leaving the platform.

      Tips for Success

      • Start small: Begin with a single hole to get comfortable with the tools
      • Check status indicators: Address red errors before proceeding to analysis
      • Save your work: click "Save" after making changes
      • Use CSV for bulk changes: When updating many images, CSV import/export will save you time

      Beta Limitations

      As this is a beta release, you might notice:

      • Performance may slow with very large sets of images (1000+)
      • Some complex filenames may not be perfectly interpreted
      • Other unforeseen user experience issues
