File Uploads
The simplest way to get data into RootCause.ai is by uploading files directly. This is perfect for one-time analyses, spreadsheets from stakeholders, or data exports from systems that don't have native connectors.
Supported Formats:
CSV
Comma-separated values
Parquet
Columnar storage format (recommended for large files)
JSON
JSON or newline-delimited JSON
Excel
.xlsx files
To upload a file:
Navigate to Data → Datasets
Click Upload or drag and drop files into the upload area
Wait for the upload to complete
Review the detected schema
What happens when you upload:
When you drop a file into RootCause.ai, several things happen automatically:
The file is securely transferred to your workspace's data lake—an isolated storage environment that keeps your data private and protected
Schema detection kicks in, analyzing your columns to determine data types (numbers, text, dates, categories)
A preview is generated so you can verify the data looks correct before using it
The dataset becomes available throughout your workspace for Data Views, analysis, and reporting
This process typically takes seconds for small files and a few minutes for larger ones.
