Spatial File Import
Description
Section titled “Description”The Spatial File Import step reads a spatial file — MapInfo .TAB,
ESRI .shp, .kml, .geojson, or SRC .geo — and its sidecar files into a
table, one row per feature with a WKT geometry column. It is the equivalent of
the Alteryx Input Data tool pointed at a spatial file and runs in the workflow
engine (GDAL).
Import Parameters
Section titled “Import Parameters”- Source — the spatial file in the document store. Its sidecar companions
(e.g. a
.TAB’s.dat/.map/.id/.dbf, or a shapefile’s.shx/.dbf/.prj) are read automatically from alongside it. - Target Table — the table the features are written to.
The output schema is taken from the file, so there is no column mapping. A SRC
.geo file’s proprietary geometry cannot be read; its .dbf attributes are
imported with empty geometry values.
