Add Data to a Project

In addition to connecting data sources and uploading assets to the data asset catalog, users can upload data directly in the Project workflow. Data can be added by any user listed as a Project Manager or Contributing Member within a project.

To add a data asset in Project Flow, start in the Project Overview.

1. Select "Flow" to view the Project Flow
2. Open the "Input Data Asset" drop down menu in the desired Input Data Asset Group

   • To create a new Input Group, select the blue "+ Add Input" button at the top of the Input Data column.
3. Select "Add Input Data Asset"
   • A pop up modal will appear displaying all data assets marked as "Shared" in the Data Asset Catalog. Learn more about Data Asset Classifications here.
4. Select your desired data asset from the data asset catalog and hit "Add Selected"
