Upload a Local File (CSV/Excel)
This is for quick analysis or when a cloud connection isn't available.
-
Before uploading, ensure your file meets these requirements:
- File format: CSV. First row must contain column headers. UTF-8 encoding is recommended.
-
Go to Create Sources. Click "Upload File". Enter a Source Name (e.g., "Q4 2024 Spend Data"). Add a description (Optional). Drag and drop your file or click to browse. Click "Upload".
-
SpendCraft processes your file in the background. You'll receive an email notification when complete. The source status will update to "Active". Auto-mapping attempts to match common column names.
-
If auto-mapping succeeded, verify the mappings. If columns need manual mapping, see Section 3.
