File Upload Wildcards
We make it easy for you to drag and drop csv, excel or Json files into AgileData so you can quickly use that data to provide information and insight to your information consumers.
Of course once you have provided that value, your Information Consumers will probably ask you to do that data work on a regular basis.

To help them we should use proven patterns to prioritise the next most important thing they can work on.
