Importing Data

Importing data into TellusR

To start importing data into TellusR, you first need to create a project, which serves as a repository for a specific set of documents. A project is essentially a collection of indexed documents, and any documents uploaded to it will be immediately searchable through the keyword search. See the TellusR search documentation for instructions on making them searchable through semantic search as well. A new project can be created using the API endpoint for this or through the GUI.

For details on importing data via our API, see the API documentation. Alternatively, you can use the import widget in the administration interface for a simple drag-and-drop import to the project selected in the Project-dropdown in the left menu.

Next step: Setting up the search

If you want to be able to search the documents using the TellusR hybrid search, you must add a semantic search index alongside the default regular search index that’s available immediately after project creation. See the Semantic section for instructions on creating one or more semantic indexes.

Configuring the hybrid search is also a prerequisite for enabling document chat and other generative features.
