Importing Data

The ability to import data into Poliage is crucial for leveraging historical data, ensuring that your content strategy is informed by past performance, user interactions, and engagement metrics. This guide will walk you through the process of importing various types of data through a user-friendly web flow.

Preparing Your Data

Before initiating the import process, ensure your data is properly formatted. Poliage supports various file formats, including CSV, XLSX, and JSON, allowing for flexibility in data management.

Key Considerations:

  • Cleanse and Organize: Verify that your data is clean, with consistent naming conventions, and organized into clear, logical columns or fields.
  • Format Compatibility: Confirm that your file format is compatible with Poliage. CSV files are ideal for large datasets, while XLSX files are better for complex data with multiple tabs.
  • Data Integrity: Check for any missing values or inaccuracies in your data. Accurate data ensures reliable analytics and user segmentation in Poliage.

Importing Your File

  1. Choose File: Click on Browse to select the data file from your computer. Ensure the file matches one of the supported formats.
