Import Data into a Context Table Using CSV

This is the most flexible method to create custom context tables as the CSV file can contain any category or type of data that you wish to monitor.

  1. From the Settings menu, navigate to Analytics > Accounts & Groups > Context Tables, and then click the Context Tables tab.

    The list of existing context tables appears.

  2. Click the name of the table into which you want to import the CSV file.

    The set up page for the context table appears.

  3. Click the Upload Table icon.

    Note

    Key and value (2 fields) tables require a header first row. Do not include a header for keys-only CSV files (1 field). Table names may be alpha-numeric with no blank spaces. (Underscore is acceptable.)

  5. Inspect the contents that will be added to your table. Select Apply Changes, when you are done.

    Once context has been integrated, it is displayed in the table. You can use the lookup tables in rules as required.

    Note

    The Created Time column displays the time that the CSV file was uploaded. Context values may change over time. For example, a user's role may change within an organization, in which case the value for the user's job title would depend on when the context was uploaded. The Created Time field helps to explain such changes in values.
