madbot Limochores-2026.10.07 is out

Madbot Limochores-2026.10.07 is now available. Here is what is new 👇

📊 A dashboard for every workspace

Open a workspace and see at a glance what it holds and what needs your attention:

  • key figures: data files, total volume, nodes and sources, broken down by source, file type and node;
  • a timeline of when data was linked into madbot;
  • your submissions by status and destination, with those that need attention (errors, updates available) on top;
  • a warning when data shown in madbot cannot be reached, and why: missing credentials, no rights, unreachable source;
  • members, pending invitations and the activity of the last 30 days.

📄 A report and an inventory to take away

  • A dated PDF report of the workspace, to preview then print or save: handy for project reviews and data management plans.
  • The full data inventory as CSV or TSV, to review or share outside madbot.

📋 One table for all your metadata

On nodes and in submissions, the batch edit table is now the single view for datalinks, samples and their metadata. Everything you did in the old views is there: details, editing, deletion, data access, linked samples and data. You can also filter by connection and by data access status.

It also holds up on large projects: metadata loads in grouped requests, and the table only draws what is on screen.

🔎 One picker to add metadata

Search and browse now live in the same window, as two tabs with a shared basket: pick fields from the madbot catalogue and from plugins together, in one step.

✨ And more

  • Madbot opens faster.
  • Short help, with a link to the documentation, explains each concept where you meet it.
  • Your personal settings (profile, tokens, notifications, appearance, font size, language) now open from the menu on your name.
  • Plugin fixes for ENA and OMERO, and the S3 plugin is now marked as stable.
