Adding data to a project
After you create a project, you add data assets to it so that you can work with data. All the collaborators in the project are automatically authorized to access the data in the project.
You can add these types of data assets to projects:
- Local files
- Database connections
- Data from a connection
- Folder assets from a file system
- Catalog assets
Add local files
You can add a file as a data asset from your local system to your project. You must have the Editor or Admin role in the project.
To add data files to a project:
- From your project’s Assets page, click Add to project > DATA or click the Find and add data icon (
). - In the Load pane that opens, browse for the files or drag them onto the pane. You must stay on the page until the load is complete. You can cancel an ongoing load process if you want to stop loading a file.
The files are listed as data assets on the Assets page of your project.
You can see a preview of the data when you click the data asset name. You can remove the data asset by choosing the Remove option from the action menu next to the asset name. Choose the Refine option to refine the data with Data Refinery.
