Connector for File Data
This is a connector for any type of uploaded file data. The supported file types include .CSV, .TXT, .TSV, .JSON, .XML, .XLS, XLSX, .HTML (tables), and Arrow IPC files.
Unlike the other connectors, File Data is not in File/URL listing. Instead, it is available as a file drop zone.
You can do one of the following:
- Drag the file from your desktop and drop on the dialog, or
- Click Choose a data file to upload and then browse and select one on the Open dialog that displays.
The Connector Settings pane updates to display the connector configurations and show the preview data.
For example, here is the configuration for the uploaded .CSV file on the Parsing tab.
To configure, refer to the corresponding connector in this document.
You also have the option of drag-dropping a file directly onto a workbook to create a Workbook Data Table or drag-dropping a file directly onto Data Library Folder to create a Data Library Data Table.
