Can I import CSV files with Appian without using any sort of plugin?I know that there are plugins that allow for this, but I'm in an Appian cloud environment and plugins are not always capable/available.
What I need to do is allow the end user to import any one of six different CSV files all with different headers and data.Based on the data in the files I need to do different calculations.I have no problems running queries against the data after it's been imported.
If this is possible without a plugin, can you point me in the direction of documentation/tutorials to help me out with this?
Thanks,pete

Can you clarify why you're seeking a "non plug-in" solution exclusively? Appian Cloud environments (which you apparently say you are using) are incredibly compatible with almost all plug-ins, including all ones i'm aware of that would allow for handling of CSV files.
Currently there is no way to import a CSV files without using plug-in. You may import the CSV using plug-in and store them in temporary tables, retrieve them for the processing/calculations and then take the next action. You may also use DB stored procedures as needed.
