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.
If you open the File storage manager for an existing app that was created before the File store manager was available, you must upload new data for the app to see the input files in the Manage file storage page.
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. |
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.
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.
When you uploaded a file or deleted one or more files, you must select Load changes. The Tables page in Data transformations is displayed, to map and configure the tables and fields for your input data. Refer to Managing input data for more information.
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.
-
Select the Preview file icon in the actions column for the file.
The Preview window is displayed, showing the contents of the raw data files, up to a maximum of 1000 rows.
You can download a single file from the file storage to your computer. This can be helpful, for example, if you want to correct any mistakes in the file. After you make the necessary corrections, you can then re-upload the file.
Follow these steps to download a single file.
-
Locate the file you want to download.
