After selecting the Data Extraction Tool template in the Deploy section of your Canvas and providing a name and description for your app, you will be redirected to the newly created Data Extraction App page, where you will see a table prompting you to drag some files.

​
Creating Runs

To start a new run, you have some options:

  • Click the Upload or drag your files button and choose the files you want;
  • Simply drag the files you want from your file explorer into the table in the page;

After this, your runs will be created with your selected files as the content of your Canvas’ variable.

The table will show the result of your runs as soon as they are completed!

Note that your runs’ results will not be persisted, so refreshing the page will delete everything. If you need to keep the results, we recommend using the Workstation template.

After your runs are completed, you can click the Download button on the bottom right corner to export your results as a .csv file!

​
Downloading and Exporting

When clicking on the Download button of your app, you will be granted 2 options to choose the structure of the downloaded sheet:

  • Consolidate values inside a single cell: It’s better to integrate with other softwares, but it is harder to read. This will take every list in the result and represent it in a JSON format inside the cell.
  • Display list items one per line: More readable, but the structure can be confusing if you need to pass this result to other software. This will break down every list in many lines, where each line has one element of the list.

The downloaded file will be a .csv file, so we also provide different separators that can be selected.

​
Updating your App

If your app is not getting the results you expect, maybe you need to edit your prompt or change something in your Canvas.

You can go directly to the Canvas associated with your app by clicking the … button in the top left corner.

Your app is associated with the Published version of your Canvas, so please remember to publish your canvas to see the changes in your app.
