DataSet Folders

TommyDenn

As our dataset count in Domo grows, managing and finding the right ones is becoming more challenging. Right now, everything sits in a single list in the Data Center, and while filters and tags help, they’re not enough for long-term organization.

It would be a huge improvement if we could group datasets into folders, similar to how cards and pages are organized. This would help with:

• Keeping datasets organized by team, project, or use case
• Reducing confusion and accidental duplication
• Making data governance and maintenance more manageable

Curious if others feel the same — this seems like a simple but powerful update that could really improve the user experience.

I feel like there's an idea requesting folder-style organization about once a month (whether it's for datasets, dataflows, apps, pages, etc.). Below I'm listing some of those that are most similar to your idea to show that even though most of these only have a few votes, collectively they show it is a big enough issue that people feel compelled to post it regularly. Here goes:

According to this idea, folders were on the roadmap back in June 2024:

There was some spicy debate on this one on the merits of tags over folders:
