Quick Upload

The Quick Upload feature in Gaio DataOS allows you to quickly import files like .csv and convert them into structured tables inside your project. With the redesigned interface, which includes two tabs — Table and Columns — the import process is now more intuitive, secure, and customizable.


How to Use Quick Upload


1. Open the Quick Upload Panel

  • On your home bar, select quick upload


2. Upload Your File

  • Drag and drop a file into the upload area, or click Browse Files to select one from your device.

  • Only one file can be uploaded per operation.

📌 Supported formats: .csv


3. Configure Table Details (Table Tab)

  • Label: Provide a friendly name to identify the task.

  • Table Name: Define the name for the new table that will be created in the project.

  • Project: Confirm or change the target project for the table.

  • Table Discovery (enabled by default): When enabled, this makes the table available in:

    • Power Search (semantic, natural language search)

    • AI Dashboard (automatically generated dashboards)


4. Adjust Column Settings (Columns Tab)

After uploading your file, switch to the Columns tab to review and configure each column:

  • Data Type: Adjust the data type for each column (String, Decimal, Date, etc.) to match the contents.

  • Column Name: Rename columns as needed for clarity and consistency.

  • Date Format (optional): For Date-type columns, specify the original format from the CSV (e.g., dd/mm/yyyy, yyyy-mm-dd).

  • Decimal Size: Set the number of decimal places for numeric fields.

  • Treat Data Warning: A notification reminds you to review numeric, decimal, and date fields to ensure they are interpreted correctly.

Tip: Use the "Change all to string" button to quickly convert all fields to text if unsure.


5. Finalize the Upload

  • After validating all columns and settings, click Upload in the bottom-right corner.

Your new table will be created in the selected project and immediately available for use in queries, dashboards, flows, and AI modules.


Best Practices

  • Ensure column names are clear and well-structured.

  • Always double-check data types before uploading — especially for dates and numbers.

  • Use descriptive table names to make it easier to locate the data later.
