Defining the source format

Defining the source format

If you connect to a file source, you'll need to configure formatting options such as the file format, schema source, or delimiter.
Configure the formatting options on the
Connect Source
 page under
Define Source Format
. If you don't see the
Define Source Format
 area, then you don't have to configure formatting options for your source.
When you configure formatting options, you can preview the data to ensure that the formatting options are correct. You can select the fields to use in the data preview.
