📘 Your First Workflow

In DataOlllo, workflows records every action you take—from cleaning and filtering to grouping and transforming.
You can select and save the workflow and apply it to new datasets anytime, instantly repeating your entire process without redoing each step.
Let’s walk through creating your first workflow.

1. Open a Data File and Process It

Start by opening a file, for example:

sales_2024.csv

Now use DataOlllo to perform your usual processing steps:

  • Clean missing values
  • Filter rows
  • Group sales by category
  • Calculate totals or averages
  • Transform columns, rename fields, etc.

Each action creates a new processed version, such as:

sales_2024.csv → sales_clean.csv → sales_grouped.csv → sales_summary.csv

You don’t need to save these manually—DataOlllo tracks the steps for you.

2. Save Your Steps as a Workflow

Once you’re happy with the result:

  1. Click New Workflow.
  2. DataOlllo will show all intermediate results from your process.
  3. Choose the final result you want your workflow to produce (e.g., sales_summary.csv).
  4. Give your workflow a friendly name, such as:
Sales_Grouped_Summary
  1. Save the workflow.

You have now created your first reusable workflow!

3. Apply the Workflow to New Files

Whenever you have a similar file—such as:

sales_2025.csv
sales_q1.csv
store_sales.csv

—you can run your saved workflow on it instantly:

  1. Click Apply Workflow.
  2. Choose Sales_Grouped_Summary.
  3. Select a new input file with the same structure as your original dataset.
  4. DataOlllo will automatically run all steps and generate the final result.

No need to repeat your filtering, cleaning, or grouping manually ever again.
