Creating catalogs

You can create catalogs and upload there a CSV file with data that can be used to further actions in the application.

You can also upload JSON and XML files to catalogs through API or by importing.

Requirements

  • Avoid spaces and special characters in the column names and the name of the file.
  • A file can contain up to 200 000 records.
  • The separator must be a comma (,)
