Upload local files¶

By uploading a local file via the Add data modal, you are both adding the dataset to your Use Case and registering it in the Data Registry. This method of adding data is a good approach if your dataset is already ready for modeling.

Before uploading a file, review DataRobot's dataset requirements for accepted file formats and size guidelines. See the associated considerations for important additional information.

To upload a local file:

1. From the Data tab, click Add data. Note that you can also drag-and-drop files onto the page to add them to the Use Case and Data Registry.

2. In the Browse data modal, click Upload.

   

3. Locate and select your dataset in the file explorer. Then, click Open.

   Supported file types

   Workbench supports the following file types for upload: .csv, .tsv, .dsv, .xls, .xlsx, .sas7bdat, .geojson, .gz, .bz2, .tar, .tgz, .zip.

4. DataRobot begins registering the dataset in the Data Registry. You can continue adding data, or you can click Add to Use Case to add the dataset to your Use Case and exit the Browse data modal. The Data tab displays the source, row count, feature count, and size of the dataset.

Next steps¶

From here, you can:

• Add more data.
• View exploratory data insights for the dataset.
• Use the dataset to set up an experiment and start modeling.
