Concepts → Local Data File

About a local data file

Using the Data Manager, you can upload one or more data files and folders to Shared Storage for a given tenant in an Incorta cluster. An uploaded file is a local data file and an uploaded folder is a local data folder.

Incorta exposes the local data files and local data folders as the LocalFiles data source. With the File System connector, you can connect to the LocalFiles data source.

The File System connector supports selecting a local data file or a group of files from a local data folder.

Supported file formats

The Data Manager allows you upload one or more local data files in the following file formats:

File ExtensionFile TypeExampleNotes
.csvcomma separated valuessales.csvCan contain a header row
.tsvtab separated valuessales.tsvCan contain a header row
