Manually upload data

You can manually upload data from your own sources to use in your Projects. All data should be approved for the purpose of the system (no personal data, for example) or notional data.

Start by opening the file on your computer to verify its contents. Check the number of header rows and if any of the columns have numeric or date/time data. This information will be useful later.

In Foundry, navigate to your home folder (Your files in the navigation sidebar), or a shared folder if you want others to have access to your dataset.

Within your home folder, you can create a folder named 'data' to keep your files organized. Select the folder to navigate to it. You should now be in Your files > data or /<shared-folder-path> > data.

Next, drag and drop the file into your folder. Foundry will automatically upload the file. When the upload is complete, you will see a new raw dataset in the folder with the same name as the original file.

Alternatively, you can select New > Upload file. Choose your file, or drag and drop it into the window, and select Next. At this point, you can customize the name of the dataset before importing. Once you are ready to import the file, select Next again.
