Adding Data

You can add data from a flat file into your Arcadia Enterprise instance. Arcadia Enterprise processes this data as a new table, adding it to an existing data repository. You can then use it as a source of supplemental information for existing datasets, by creating new table joins. You can also create a new dataset that references the imported data as a primary table.

Typically, we use the Import Data functionality to supplement existing datasets; we add this data by creating joins in the data model.

Depending on your business case, you may instead choose to create a new dataset based on the data you just imported.
