Overview

This Quickstart guide helps new users begin using Sift within minutes by showing them how to access their workspace, import sample data, analyze it in Explore, and share insights with others. It aims to quickly introduce the essential Sift workflow so users can explore and collaborate with confidence.

Step 1: Access Sift

To use Sift, you need an account in your organization’s Sift instance. Your manager should provide access to either the Public Cloud or GovCloud environment.

Step 2: Import data

  1. In Sift’s home page, click Import data.
  2. Upload this CSV file.
  3. In the Asset section, click New.
  4. In the Asset name box, enter:
    fl_quickstart_asset
    
  5. In the Run box, edit the Run name (rover.csv) with the following:
    fl_quickstart_run
    
  6. Replace fl (in fl_quickstart_asset and fl_quickstart_run) with your initials (first and last name). This helps avoid naming conflicts if others are also completing the quickstart on the same Sift instance.
  7. Click Upload.
  8. Click Close.

Step 3: Analyze data

  1. In the Run name or description box, enter:
fl_quickstart-run
  1. In the Runs table, click fl_quickstart-run.

Step 4: Share data

Share links can be sent to others so they can open Explore v1 with the exact same configuration, making collaboration easier and more consistent.
  1. Click Share.
  2. Click Copy.
