Import methods

During the process of import, you must select how you will import data to Synerise. You can choose from the following options:

  • Import local file - This method allows you to upload only a .csv file from your device and map the columns contained in the file with the equivalent parameters in your workspace.
    Recommended use: Single import of .csv files.
  • Import in Automation - This method allows you to declare how you will provide a file (.csv, .json, .jsonl, and .xml ) for import and then you will be redirected to a workflow template which you can adjust to your business assumptions. The template contains a Data Transformation node that allows you to select transformation rules if the imported data need modification before the import to Synerise.
    Recommended use: Imports of files stored in external servers (using HTTP and SFTP protocol), periodic imports;
