  2. Preview Data
  3. Submit Data

Once a Project is selected, select the data files to be uploaded. One or more files can be added for upload and processing into the CM4D database. Once a file is added, it will be run through a preliminary validation against the DataSmith Translator.

Select Data File(s)

Files are added individually or in batches to the selected project by either browsing to the file(s) or dropping files from the file explorer onto the indicated area in the web browser. Once you have selected the files to upload, the file(s) can be submitted to the database.

When at least one file has been selected, you have two action options:

Preview Data

The Preview Data option runs a pre-check on the selected file(s) to show what data will be extracted. This allows you to check that the file format is correct for the selected project before committing the upload. The grid contains a column for each unit of data that is configured for the project to extract from the data file. Each row in a column represents expected data values for the selected project.

If the grid is empty, confirm that you have the correct project selected and have uploaded the right file type for the project.

See here for more details.

Submit Data

Submitting the selected file(s) sends the data to the DataSmith Batch service for processing. Once you have submitted a file, processing cannot be cancelled from CM4D Upload Portal. Check the Upload History to monitor the status.
