Adding data to Data Refinery
After you’ve created a project and you’ve created connections or you’ve added data assets to the project, you can add data to Data Refinery and start prepping that data for analysis.
You can add data to Data Refinery in one of several ways:
- Select Refine from the menu of a data asset in the project
- Preview a data asset in the project and then choose to refine it
- Navigate to Data Refinery first and then add data to it
Navigate to Data Refinery
Access Data Refinery from within a project. Click Add to project > DATA REFINERY FLOW.
If you already have a Data Refinery flow, you can go to the project’s Assets tab and click New Data Refinery flow in the Data Refinery flows section.
