Darpan workflows commonly use structured tabular or JSON-like source data.

​
General requirements

  • Use stable headers or field names.
  • Keep identifiers as strings when leading zeros or formatting matter.
  • Use consistent date formats within a file.
  • Avoid mixing summary rows with detail rows.
  • Keep one logical record per row when using CSV-like formats.

​
CSV guidance

Use UTF-8 encoding and a consistent delimiter. If values can contain commas, quote them consistently.

​
JSON guidance

Use predictable object keys and arrays. Avoid changing object nesting between runs unless the schema is updated with the change.

​
Troubleshooting

If upload or parse behavior is unexpected, check encoding, delimiters, header names, blank lines, duplicate columns, and field type assumptions first.
