Uploading Unstructured Data
In addition to structured survey data, Panoplai lets you upload unstructured files—things like transcripts, reports, briefs, and discussion guides—to help round out your analysis with richer context.
What Is Unstructured Data?
Unstructured data includes files that aren’t organized in rows and columns. These might be:
-
PDF reports
-
Interview or focus group transcripts
-
Research briefs
-
Discussion guides
-
Open-ended questionnaire documents
Currently, the following file types are supported: .pptx, .pdf, .docx, and .txt.

How to Upload Unstructured Files
Two Paths:
-
Go to the My Files tab in your workspace & click Upload New. OR Click Upload Data in the main menu bar and select To My Studies.
-
Select your document (in one of the supported formats). Note: we currently support files up to 30MB.
-
Enter a title and a brief description of the file.
-
That’s it! Uploads take just a few seconds.
Why Descriptions Matter
Panoplai AI uses the description you provide to understand how the file should be interpreted. The more descriptive and specific you are, the better your file will be understood and integrated into your analysis.
Don’t See the “My Files” Tab?
Not all subscriptions offer file uploads. If you don’t see the My Files tab in your account, reach out to your Panoplai representative.
