Uploading Resources¶

brew allows you to upload your own files onto the system that can then be shared with others. This is particularly useful if you have a local dataset that you'd like to use inside your brew workflow.

To add a file to brew and use it within a workflow simply drag and drop the file onto the canvas

Note: Not all file types are supported – please take a look at the CV_Types table within the Common Vocabulary section. If you have a file type that brew does not support please contact the brew team at brew@n-ask.com to discuss incorporation

After selecting, "Upload" your file will be uploaded to brew and it can be used within your workflow. It will also be saved as a resource which you can share with others and reuse in other workflows.

Now that we have the resource loaded into the canvas we can connect the CSV file to the proper functional. In this case I will use the "CSV to Table" functional to convert the CSV file into a CV_Table.

Now that I've uploaded my file I may want to share this resource with others. To do this I can simply find the resource in the bottom section of the Properties Pane and click on the "Edit Access Controls" button on the left of the file name.

Adding users or groups is as simple as searching for them under "Add User/Group to ACL".

You can also manage your groups by expanding the "My Groups" section at the bottom.
