The Upload Files tab in Data Center allows the user to upload files for various purposes. When selecting New Upload, the user is presented with options to upload data for the services listed below. Access to these options is permissions based. If you need to upload a file for one of the services mentioned below and don't see the option in Data Center, or if you need an account to login, contact your Regional Director or support@encoura.org for assistance.
Upload Process
- From the Upload Files tab in Data Center, click New Upload.
- Select a File Type from the options available. This will display additional details you may need including the expected file type.
- Select your file using the Choose File button or by dragging your file to the New Upload modal.
- For most file types selected, click the Analyze File button. After analyzing your file, Encoura will attempt to map your fields (designated by the header row of your CSV file) to the expected fields. If the fields are correctly mapped, you'll see a check in the Results column. For others, you can select the appropriate field from the Your File column. Once all required fields are mapped, you'll have two options:
- Preview - This allows you to preview the first 50 records of your file. The Missing Values row will show if you have records that are blank or null for each field. Once you've reviewed the records, you can close this tab to return to the File Upload modal.
- Complete Upload - This will initiate the upload processing.
- You can follow the progress on the Upload Files tab in Data Center as the file status changes from Uploading to Processing to Done.
