Uploading Data into Cogynt

The first task in this exercise is to upload the capitals_training.json file into Cogynt. This two-step process involves:

1. Creating a project to store the model you'll build.
2. Uploading the sample data file for Cogynt to process.

Creating a Project

First, you must create a project. A project is the container for all the different parts of a model in Cogynt. This is where your data will be stored.

To create a project:

1. Open Cogynt Authoring.
2. On the main screen, click + New Project.
3. In the New Project dialog:
   1. Type a name for your project in the Name field. For this exercise, "Hello World" followed by your initials is recommended (for example, "Hello World CS").
   2. In the Description field, type an optional description for the project if desired.
   3. Click Create.

Once the project is created, the next step is to upload the JSON file.

Uploading a File

With the project created, Cogynt is ready to receive the data in the capitals_training.json data set. The next step is to load the file into Cogynt.

To upload the capitals_training.json into Cogynt:

1. Open the Data Management Tool.
2. Click Data File Upload.
3. From the Select Project dropdown menu, select your project.
4. From the Select Topic dropdown menu, select + Use New Topic.
5. In the New Topic dialog:
   1. In the Topic field, enter a name for the topic. For this exercise, "capitals_" followed by your initials is recommended (for example, "capitals_cs").
   2. Click Confirm.
6. From the Select Data Source dropdown menu, select the default data source.
7. Under Data File, drag the capitals_training.json file into the space indicated on the page. A preview of the data is shown if the file was correctly selected.
8. Click Upload.

With the data file uploaded, the next step is to build a model to analyze the data.
