File Importer

What Is a File Importer?

A file importer is a software utility designed to transfer data from external files into a system, database, or application while ensuring compatibility and proper formatting. It supports various file types, such as CSV, JSON, XML, or image files, making it a critical component in data-driven workflows.

How Does a File Importer Work?

File importers follow a structured process to ensure smooth data integration:

1. File Selection and Upload:
   Users select the file they want to import. The importer validates the file type to ensure compatibility with the target system. NYRIS supports diverse formats like CAD models, product images, and metadata files for seamless integration.
2. Data Mapping and Transformation:
   The tool maps the imported data fields to the corresponding fields in the target system. It also performs transformations like reformatting dates or standardizing units. NYRIS’s file importers optimize this step to align with its AI models’ requirements.
3. Data Ingestion and Validation:
   The importer transfers the data into the system while checking for errors such as missing values or duplicates. NYRIS ensures high-quality data ingestion to maintain the accuracy of its visual search engine.
