File Upload

The file upload source in Konekti allows you to easily import flat files from your local machine.

Supported File Types​

The following file types are currently supported for file uploads:

  • CSV
  • XLSX
  • Parquet
note

The file size limit is 2GB. For larger files, load them into a database or file storage and use the appropriate source type.

tip

Use the Create one table from files button to combine selected files into a single table. This is useful for partitioned data sets, like log files separated by month. The settings will apply to all selected files, which must have identical columns.

Import Settings​

FieldDetails
NameThe table name displayed throughout Konekti. Defaults to the original file name.
Skip rowsComma-separated list (starting at 1) of rows to skip during import, useful for files with empty rows. Example: 1,3,5 will skip the first, third, and fifth rows.
Separator (CSV)Specifies the character separating columns in a CSV file (e.g., , for comma, ; for semicolon, or \t for tab).
Encoding (CSV)Specifies the CSV encoding. In most cases, the default (UTF-16) is sufficient, but changing the encoding may be relevant for tables with rare characters.

Step 3: Import Tables​

  1. Click Import tables to start the import.
