Documents are the foundation of every Daedaline project. Once uploaded, they are processed and indexed so you can ask questions, build sheets, and compose reports against them.

​
Opening the Documents tab

Inside a project, click the Documents tab in the left sidebar. If no documents have been added yet, you will see an empty state with an upload area and an Add Folder button.

​
Uploading documents

Daedaline supports three upload methods:
Drag one or more files directly onto the upload area, or click to open the file picker. Supported file types include PDFs and Word documents.Files are automatically checked for duplicates — if a file with the same content already exists in the project, it is skipped and a notification is shown.
Switch to the Web tab in the uploader to import a document from a public URL. Paste the URL and Daedaline will fetch and process the page content.
The HData tab provides access to a specialised data source integration. Contact your account team for details on connecting an HData source.

​
Upload progress

After selecting files, the uploader moves through the following stages:
StageDescription
PendingFiles are queued and being verified
ProcessingFiles are being hashed and deduplicated
UploadingFiles are being transferred
AttachingDocuments are being added to the project
DoneDocuments are ready for processing
Once attached, documents are sent for ingestion (text extraction and indexing). You can monitor their status in the file manager.

​
Auto-organise

When Auto-organise is enabled, Daedaline will automatically sort uploaded documents into folders based on their content. You can toggle this setting in the uploader before confirming an upload.
If you manually move a document into a folder after uploading, auto-organise is automatically disabled for that document so your manual arrangement is preserved.

​
Organising documents with folders

To keep your document library tidy, you can create folders:
  1. Click Add Folder in the Documents tab.
  2. Give the folder a name.
  3. Drag documents into folders, or upload directly into a selected folder.
Folders can be nested and renamed at any time. You can also set a description on a folder to provide context for your team.

​
Document statuses

Each document in the file manager displays a status indicator:
StatusMeaning
ReadyThe document has been fully processed and is available for querying
ProcessingThe document is being ingested
ErrorProcessing failed; the document can be re-ingested from the actions menu
