Overview

To import data from an external source, navigate to the Dataset Portal and click on the the Import dataset button. Currently, all datasets imported in this way result in unstructured files (see Dataset types).

The following pop-up window allows you to select from the supported data sources. Once selecting a data source, the user has to enter the data source specific configuration and credentials and start the import.

As the import may take a while, it is implemented as a background process so that the user can continue use the platform. The status of the import can be found in the Imports/Exports tab of the Dataset Portal. Once the import has completed, the dataset appears in the Dataset Portal.

The supported data sources are documented under Supported data sources.
