Features

​
Easy Data Import

The Flatfile Portal simplifies the data import process by allowing users to drag and drop files directly into the interface. This intuitive design ensures that users can quickly upload their data without needing technical expertise.

​
Customizable Spaces

Each instance of the Flatfile Portal operates within a “Space.” A Space is a dedicated environment where users can manage their data imports. You can customize the Space to fit your branding and user experience needs, ensuring that it aligns with your application’s look and feel.

​
Real-Time Data Validation

As users upload their files, the Flatfile Portal automatically validates the data in real-time. This feature helps to catch errors early in the process, ensuring that only clean, accurate data is imported into your application.

​
Integration with Your Application

Once the data is validated, it can be seamlessly integrated into your application. The Flatfile Portal provides APIs that allow you to programmatically access the imported data, making it easy to incorporate it into your existing workflows.

​
User Management and Permissions

The Flatfile Portal includes built-in user management features, allowing you to control who has access to the data import functionality. You can set permissions based on user roles, ensuring that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized personnel.

​
Getting Started

​
Embed the Portal in Your Application

After configuring your Space, you can embed the Flatfile Portal into your application. This is typically done by including a JavaScript snippet that initializes the Flatfile import functionality.

​
Configure Your Import Settings

Once your Space is created, you can configure the import settings. This includes defining the types of files that can be uploaded, setting validation rules, and customizing the user interface to match your brand.

​
Start Importing Data

With everything set up, users can start importing data into your application. They can simply drag and drop their files into the Flatfile Portal, and the data will be processed and validated in real-time.

​
Egress Imported Data
