Upload a File
Add a CSV, spreadsheet, or other data file in the Credible App and model it, with no database connection
You don't need a database to start. In the Credible App you can upload data files straight from your browser, and the agent builds a model on them. The files go into a draft package, so nothing is shared until you publish.
To read files with the CLI or from object storage instead, see Embedded Data and Connect a Database.
Prerequisites
- Admin or modeler role in your organization. Uploading a file can create an environment, which takes one of those roles. If you have neither, ask an organization admin to add the file for you, or to grant you the modeler role.
Supported files
| Format | Extensions |
|---|---|
| CSV and TSV | .csv, .tsv |
| Parquet | .parquet |
| JSON and JSON Lines | .json, .jsonl |
| Excel | .xlsx |
Each file can be up to 32 MB. A draft holds up to 64 uploaded files and 128 MB in total.
Upload from a chat
- Start a chat and ask in your own words: "how do I upload a CSV?" or "I have a spreadsheet to analyze". In a new organization, the welcome screen also offers Upload a file and turn it into something your team can explore.
- Drop your files on the upload card the agent opens in the chat, or click it to pick them.
- Let the agent model them. When the upload finishes, the agent reads the files, explores them, and builds a model in a private draft. If you have no environment yet, it creates one called
analytics. - Publish when the model is right, so your team can query it. See Publishing.
Upload to a draft you're already editing
Open the draft package and find its Data section. Drop a file on it, or click it to pick one. To replace a file with a new version, use Upload new version on that file's row; the path stays the same, so the models that read it keep working.
