This section provides the steps to configure a File dataset.

1. Create a new dataset of type File, specifying a name and (optionally) a prefix to use to identify the dataset and its values, respectively:
   

   

2. Click Add. The dataset is added to the list, and it has an initial WARNING status as it contains no source file yet.
   

   

3. You can now select a source file from the table in the Dataset configuration panel, by double clicking one of its rows. The table lists all recently used files.
   

   

   
   Alternatively, you can type a file location in the input box at the top of the table and press the plus sign. The file is added to the dataset source, and included in the Files table for future reference.
   

   

   
   The input box supports autocomplete, listing the files in the folder alias that were setup while configuring the File provider in the Admin page.
   Datacenter supports the following file types:

   1. Text (These are key-value pairs, using the '=' or ':' char as separators. The separators can be mixed.)

   2. Ini-file

   3. JSON

   4. CSV (comma-separated)
