Data

Overview


Loading data into a davinci environment is a simple process. However, the process is slightly different depending on whether the environment is a davinci workspace or a davinci page.

Loading Data into a Workspace


There are multiple ways to load data into a workspace.

  • Data from the hard drive, or from a URL can be loaded using the Data app.
  • Data can be scripted and added to the workspace through the Javascript app

Loading Data into a Page


  • Data from the hard drive, or from a URL can be loaded using the Data Tololbox.
  • Data can be scripted and added to the workspace through the scripting toolbox

Data Formats


Data can be encoded in various formats. When you add data to a page, the page needs to know the format of the data. Either you can provide this information, or if you do not tell the page what type of dtata it is, the page will use the extension (last letters of the file name after the period, such as "txt" or "json") to guess what the data format is.


Some of the formats above indicate that the first line of the data is a header line. For example, there is a csv format and an hcsv format. Most davinci tools allow you to specify that the format is csv while also indicating that there is a header line.
