  • Uploaded file assets

File Manager stores uploaded files that support work in Tamaat but are not managed as GIS datasets in the data store.

Common file types

  • CSV files used in ETL workflows
  • Excel files used as reusable ETL inputs
  • raster files that need to be stored and referenced by the platform
  • uploaded archives and source assets that support operational work

Why File Manager exists

Once a user uploads a file, Tamaat can keep a managed copy so future runs and workflows do not need a fresh upload every time. That makes recurring ETL and file-based workflows faster and more reliable.

File Manager vs Data Store

  • Data Store is for managed datasets used directly as platform data assets.
  • File Manager is for reusable uploaded files that support workflows outside that managed-dataset model.
