Uploads
Section titled “Uploads”Overview
Section titled “Overview”Uploads bring file-based data into a file area. A file can be staged, profiled, transformed, loaded, and monitored without making the browser responsible for the heavy work.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”The browser sends the file to the platform, then background jobs handle parsing and loading. Progress appears in the UI as a status badge and in the Job Queue as a detailed job record. If a load fails, the file keeps an error state so you can inspect and retry it.
Step-by-step
Section titled “Step-by-step”- Open the target file area.
- Drop files into the upload zone or choose them from your file picker.
- Wait for the upload state to finish.
- Review the transform plan before loading.
- Start the load only after the plan matches the data.
- Open the Job Queue if progress looks unclear.
Common mistakes
Section titled “Common mistakes”Do not upload a corrected replacement file into a file area without checking whether the old file should stay. If the data represents a replacement rather than an addition, use the appropriate refresh workflow.
Do not ignore type warnings. A date read as text or a number read as text will limit charting, sorting, filtering, and alerting later.
