File Uploads

The simplest way to get data into RootCause.ai. Use file uploads for one-time analyses, spreadsheets from stakeholders, or exports from systems without native connectors.

Supported formats:

Format	Notes
CSV	Comma-separated values
Parquet	Columnar format — recommended for large files
JSON	JSON or newline-delimited JSON
Excel	.xlsx files
PDF	Documents for analysis and reporting
Image	PNG, JPG, and other common image formats

To upload a file:

1. Navigate to Data → Datasets

2. Click Upload or drag and drop files into the upload area

3. Wait for the upload to complete

4. Review the detected schema

The upload area. Drag and drop files directly, or click to browse.

What happens on upload:

1. The file is securely stored in your workspace's isolated data lake

2. Schema detection analyses columns to determine data types

3. A data preview is generated for verification

4. The dataset becomes available across your workspace for Data Views, analysis, and reporting

After upload, the dataset detail view shows the detected schema and a preview of the data.
