Importing Data

Importing data into a project

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 a collection of indexed documents, and any documents uploaded to it will be immediately searchable through keyword search (see Concepts, and Projects and Documents for more information about the project concept and other relevant concepts).

If you follow our Quick Start process you will create a project as the first step (see screenshot below). You can also create a new project using the relevant API endpoint or through the Projects widget in the dashboard.

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

Next step: Setting up the TellusR hybrid search

TellusR automatically sets up a default keyword index for your project so that your imported documents are searchable immediately after import. To unlock the full power of TellusR’s hybrid search, you must configure a semantic index alongside the keyword index. For an overview of how to set up the semantic search see here.

Configuring hybrid search is also a prerequisite for enabling chat assistants and other generative features that rely on your imported documents.
