Data Files
Data Files let you add structured information to your network snapshots. This is helpful for static or rarely changing data—such as site names, asset tags, or compliance parameters—that isn’t collected automatically.
Navigating to the NQE Data Files Page
To access the Data Files page in NQE, go to the navigation bar and select Data Files under NQE.
This page displays all imported data files that are currently available for use in NQE.
Page Overview
The NQE Data Files page displays a list of all data files associated with your organization.
For each file in the list, you can perform the following actions: 2. View Details: See schema, description, and additional metadata. 3. Replace File: Upload a new version of the file using the same name. A warning appears if the structure changes. 4. Download File: Downloads a copy of the selected data file. 5. Additional Options (Kebab Menu): Edit or delete a data file.
- Edit: Change the file name, NQE reference name, or description. This will break any queries using the original reference.
- Delete Remove the file entirely. Queries referencing the file will fail.
Modifying a file’s name, NQE name, or schema may break existing queries. Be sure to update any queries that reference the affected file.
