# Uploading your own file

This is great for quick one-off uploads—like a list of leads, survey responses, or exported reports.<br>

**Step-by-Step:**

1. **Log in to Questera**\
   Start by logging in using your credentials. You’ll land on your main dashboard.<br>
2. **Go to the Navigation Bar**\
   Look to the left and find the main navigation bar.<br>
3. **Click on “Datasets”**\
   This is where all your data lives in Questera.&#x20;

7. **Map the Properties**\
   This is important: tell Questera what each column means by mapping it to a property (e.g., "email", "signup\_date", "campaign\_name"). This helps the system understand your data for better usage later.\
