Abstract

Computer implemented systems and methods are disclosed for importing data from electronic data files. In accordance with some embodiments, source electronic data files are received at a data importation system and managed by the data importation system. The data importation system may apply detector/transformer plugins to the received source electronic data files to transform the files for importation into one or more data analysis systems and/or databases. The data importation system may also receive user inputs for mapping source electronic data files to transformation templates. The inputs may include, for example, an assignment of a file format to the source electronic data file, identification of a file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file, and a mapping of a the source electronic data file to a transformation template. The data importation system may store the received inputs as a file type profile in a database.

Claims (24)

1. A system for importing data from electronic data files, the system comprising:

a memory device that stores a set of instructions;

at least one processor that executes the instructions to:

receive a source electronic data file;

generate instructions for displaying a visual indicator for indicating that a file type associated with the source electronic data file could not be detected;

receive an assignment of a file format to the source electronic data file;

receive identification of a file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file;

receive a mapping of the source electronic data file to a transformation template; and

store the file format, file type identifier, and mapping as a file type profile associated with the source electronic data file in a database.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file includes at least one of a structure of the source electronic data file, a combination of file headers included in the source electronic data file, and an order of file headers included in the source electronic data file.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file includes at least one of a string of text included in the source electronic data file and a type of data included in the source electronic data file.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mapping of the source electronic data file to a transformation template includes mappings to conform a format of data fields included in the source electronic data file to a canonical format of data fields included in the transformation template.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mapping of the source electronic data file to a transformation template includes mappings to conform data included in the source electronic data file to a canonical format of data included in the transformation template.

6. A method of importing data from electronic data files, the method performed by at least one processor and comprising:

receiving a source electronic data file;

generating instructions for displaying a visual indicator for indicating that a file type associated with the electronic data file could not be detected;

receiving an assignment of a file format to the electronic data file;

receiving identification of a file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file;

receiving a mapping of the source electronic data file to a transformation template; and

storing the file format, file type identifier, and mapping as a file type profile associated with the source electronic data file in a database.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file includes at least one of a structure of the source electronic data file, a combination of file headers included in the source electronic data file, and an order of file headers included in the source electronic data file.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file includes at least one of a string of text included in the source electronic data file and a type of data included in the source electronic data file.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the mapping of the source electronic data file to a transformation template includes mappings to conform a format of data fields included in the source electronic data file to a canonical format of data fields included in the transformation template.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the mapping of the source electronic data file to a transformation template includes mappings to conform data included in the source electronic data file to a canonical format of data included in the transformation template.
