Upload a CSV File

There are a couple of ways to bring your data into the Stratifyd platform, namely via our data connectors, or uploading your own files. Watch this brief video for a tutorial explaining how to upload a CSV file. 

You can use the CSV File uploader on the Data Streams page as we do here, or directly in a workspace. This connector can take any valid comma-separated values, as long as it has the file extension ".CSV". Generally, the first line of the file contains column headers for the data.

5. Next, you'll be prompted to provide a name for the data stream. You can also add a brief description, appropriate tags, or share it with colleagues. Click Submit to save your new data stream.

6. Depending on the size of your CSV file, it make take some time until the data ingestion process is complete. During this stage, you will see a progress bar.
