Managing file storage

The file storage manager enables you to preview, download, and delete data files directly from the Azure Blob storage. This can be useful, for example, when you run into issues with data uploading and you need to correct mistakes in the data.

In the file storage manager, you can see the history of uploaded raw data files for a table and analyze the file contents. You can upload a single data file directly to the Azure Blob storage and trigger a data run, without having to upload all the data for the process app. The option to delete all the files and folders for the process app enables you to fix extraction issues without having to recreate the process app.

Opening the file storage

You can open the file storage directly from Data Transformations.

Follow these steps to open the file storage:

In the Input section, locate the Tables folder.
Select the context menu icon and select Manage file storage.

The Manage file storage page is displayed, showing the raw data files that are uploaded for the selected table.

By default, the following columns are displayed showing the properties for each file:

Column	Description
File name	The name of the source file.
File size	The size of the file, indicating how much data the file contains.
Folder path	The location of the file within the Blob storage.
Last modified	The date and time at which the file was uploaded or last modified.

Displaying the raw data files for other tables

The Manage file storage page displays the raw data files for a selected table. You can select a different table from the table selector to view and manage the raw data file for another table.

Closing the file storage

Select Data transformations in the breadcrumb path to leave the file storage manager and return to Data transformations. The Manage file storage page is closed.

Note:

When you uploaded a file or deleted one or more files, a data run is started automatically when you close the file storage.

Viewing the contents of a raw data file

Using the Preview option, you can have a quick look at the contents of the file without having to open the file in an external program.

Follow these steps to view the contents of a table file:

Locate the file for which you want to view the contents.

The Preview window is displayed, showing the contents of the raw data files, up to a maximum of 1000 rows.
