Change File Encoding

Files are imported based on the default file encoding for the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform.

The default file encoding can be configured. For more information, see Configure Global File Encoding Type.

As needed, you can override the default file encoding during the importing of individual datasets.

Note

All output files are written in UTF-8 encoding.

Tip

If you have already imported the dataset and need to change this setting, you can re-import the source and change the settings. References to this imported dataset must be updated.

Steps:

  1. After you have selected or specified the file to import in the Import Data page, click Edit Settings for the dataset card in the right panel.

  2. From the drop-down, select the preferred encoding to apply to this specific file.

  3. Continue the import process.
