Uploading Your Data to Doowii

Bring your own data into Doowii for faster exploration and insights.

The Table Uploads feature, accessed in the Data tab, allows you to import CSV, Excel, or TSV files directly into your workspace for immediate querying and analysis.

What You Can Do with Table Uploads

• Upload your own dataset in CSV, Excel (.xls/.xlsx, single or multi-tab), or TSV format.

• Access your uploaded table at the top of your dataset list in Data Explorer.

• Query and visualize your data alongside Doowii’s built-in tools.

• Delete tables at any time if you no longer need them.

Uploaded tables are private to the user who uploaded them. They are not shared across your institution’s account. Have questions about uploading data for your entire team? Contact Doowii to discuss your options.

How to Upload a Table

1

In Data Explorer (Data tab), click the Upload Table button.

Located in the left-hand sidebar, all admin and system admin users may upload tables to Doowii for their personal use.

2

Select your file (CSV, Excel, or TSV).

50 MB per file. Excel files with multiple tabs are supported, with each tab uploaded as its own table.

3

Enter a Table Name

Duplicate table names are not allowed. Only letters, numbers, and underscores allowed.

4

Review Columns

Review the column names, data types, and indicate whether each column should be excluded from the upload.

5

Preview Table Data

Review the schema and data as it will be uploaded. If there are errors in the data, click cancel and restart.

6

Confirm Upload

Once satisfied, click the Upload button to confirm the data upload. It may take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the file size, to complete the data processing steps to make your data available. Check the Data Explorer to confirm the upload status.

Limits and Restrictions

• File size limit: 50 MB per file.

• File formats supported: CSV (comma-delimited only), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), TSV.

• Special characters: Emojis and unusual symbols may not display correctly.

• Joins: Table joins are not supported in this version.

• Data Refresh: Uploaded data cannot be refreshed. To update the data, delete the table and upload a new file.

Managing Your Uploaded Tables

• View data: Open your table directly in Data Explorer to see raw data.

• Delete a table: Use the delete option if you uploaded test or incorrect data, or if the data has expired and is no longer needed. To delete a table:

  • Navigate to the Data Explorer

  • Select your Table,

  • Click the Delete button (top right corner below your user profile information)

  • Confirm deletion

• Replace or Refresh data: To update, simply upload a new file (the old table can be deleted).

Troubleshooting

• Upload fails immediately: Check the file type (only CSV, Excel, TSV supported), delimiters (comma or tab only), and file size (50 MB max file size).

• Error: Duplicate Table Name: Rename your table and try again.

• Unexpected characters in data: Avoid emojis or special characters.

• File too large: Keep under 50 MB (split files if necessary).
