How to Upload Your Dataset

Introduction

Throughout the application, there are several places where you can upload your data. Don’t worry—all data uploads end up in the same location, no matter where you start from. You can upload your data from:

  • The New Process screen (e.g. “Mine from Data” option)
  • The Data List menu by selecting + Add New Dataset
  • Inside a Process Model under the Data tab

All upload dialogs follow the same process, which we will explain in more detail below.

Overview

The Upload New Data screen allows you to upload your datasets into ProcessMind quickly and easily. You can upload various file formats such as CSV, TSV, TXT, XLS, XLSX, and XLSB. The process is simple, and this guide will walk you through the steps to successfully upload your data. For more details on the supported file formats and how to structure the data please read the Data section.

You do not need to wait until the processing is finished, you can continue with other tasks in the application and will receive a notification once the dataset is processed.
