Use AgilOne in a Customer Dataset

This content is only for clients with Product Data and Customer Data options in the DATASETS menu in the top navigation bar. If no menu options appear when you click DATASETS, then this content doesn't apply to your account. Instead, see the alternate version of this documentation.

Within the platform you can access the Create Dataset Schema wizard to upload a CSV file and determine various field types to create a customer dataset schema, after which you can then upload a full file to create the dataset.

With AgilOne integration, you can skip the process of defining field types for customer datasets by using its predefined schema and uploading that CSV file to the platform via SFTP.

The headers of the CSV you upload must match those in the table, and the values entered must match the type listed. You can also download a template.
