To create any model or data processing pipeline, you will often need to load your data. For now, this will only be done with the File Picker Service. Files can be added either from your local computer, an existing project, or from a file hosted publicly on the internet.
- Open the file browser of your local computer and find the file you would like to add (refer to 1 in Figure below).
- Drag and drop the file from your local file browser into the empty space of your Pipeline Workspace (refer to 2 in Figure below).
- Create a File Picker Service by double clicking in the empty space of your Pipeline Workspace and choosing the File Picker Service in the resulting popup (refer to 3 in Figure below). It will now appear on your Pipeline Workspace. Click on the Upload button with a cloud icon. In the popup window, you may choose the file you would like to add. For large files, the upload will take a moment and the status will be displayed in a loading bar.
