What the file status badges mean and what happens when AskBiz parses your uploaded file.

File status badges#

Each file in your list shows a status badge:

  • Ready (green) — the file has been parsed successfully and is available for analysis in chat, dashboards, and other tools
  • Processing — the file is still being parsed. This usually takes a few seconds
  • Error — something went wrong during parsing. Check the file format and try re-uploading

What parsing does#

When you upload a file, AskBiz:

  • Detects the delimiter (comma, semicolon, tab)
  • Reads column headers from the first row
  • Counts total rows
  • Identifies numeric columns (used by Forecasts and dashboards)
  • Stores a parsed sample for quick preview

Once parsed, the file is immediately available across AskBiz.
