Introduction
Data Manager, previously known as Data Upload, is WMDA's enhanced platform designed for efficient and secure data management within the global donor registry network. Renamed in early 2024, the platform's name change reflects its expanded functionality beyond simple data uploads, accommodating a growing range of data-related features.
Data Manager supports both manual and automatic data uploads, allowing registries to list donor information in the Search & Match Service. Manual uploads involve uploading encrypted XML files, while automatic uploads utilize a REST API for seamless integration between systems. Though XML is currently the primary format, support for JSON files is forthcoming, with notifications to be provided when this becomes available.
Once data is uploaded and processed, it becomes accessible to search coordinators and transplant physicians through the Search & Match Service, and is also integrated into the Match-Connect service. For those using the API, technical support is readily available to ensure smooth operation and understanding.
Data Manager is designed to meet the evolving needs of donor registries, offering robust and real-time data processing capabilities that ensure accurate and up-to-date information is always available. For more information and support, you can contact us directly by emailing support@wmda.info
