The Data section lets you upload data files to Pulse.
To open it:
- Select the three-dot menu in the bottom-right corner.
- Select Add new data.
Pulse currently supports Excel workbooks (.xlsx).
Important
For information about preparing integration files and the required data structure, see the Pulse integration documentation.
Uploading a file
To upload data:
- Select Upload file.
- Choose the Excel workbook you want to upload.
Pulse uploads the workbook and starts validating its contents.
Important
Only one data file can be uploaded and processed at a time. If another upload is already in progress, wait until it is complete before uploading a new file.
Validation
After the file is uploaded, Pulse processes it in two stages:
- Stage 1 — Validation: Pulse validates the data. If validation is successful, the validation stage is marked as complete.
- Stage 2 — Import: Pulse imports the individual sheets of the Excel workbook.
When the import is complete, Pulse confirms that all data was uploaded successfully.
Validation errors
If Pulse detects invalid data, the validation is marked as failed.
Pulse identifies the affected part of the workbook and explains the problem.
For each validation error, Pulse shows:
- where the error occurred,
- what is wrong with the value.
Review the reported errors, correct them in the workbook, and upload the file again.
