File Upload sources now support two powerful new capabilities: previewing files before upload and uploading multiple files at once.

What's new

Preview files before uploading You can now see your files in their native format—Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, CSVs—before uploading them. This helps you confirm you're uploading the right files and understand their structure before processing begins.

Multi-file upload You can now upload multiple files in a single action, both when creating a new source and from the source detail tab.

Refreshed upload interface The upload screen features a cleaner layout that makes it easier to select files, preview them, and configure settings.

These new capabilities are part of our ongoing effort to make file-based workflows more powerful and transparent, and we'd love to hear your feedback as we continue improving the experience.

We're introducing a new way to interact with your organization's data through NOVA—the Nexla GenAI chatbot!

In the new NOVA chatbot interface, users can directly query their organization's data to obtain rapid, thorough, and accurate insights, expediting workflows by consolidating the data analysis process.

🔸  Harness the power of RAG & LLMs
When a query is submitted, NOVA uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to provide comprehensive responses based on the selected data and any available metadata and/or other contextual information. RAG combines the power of search algorithms with the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), producing complete, accurate, and easily understandable responses.

🔸  Setup is easy
Initializing a NOVA session requires a service key, which users can generate via a simple one-step process in the Nexla UI. Once generated, this service key is stored in the user's account and can be reused to initialize all future NOVA sessions.

🔸  Query data from REST APIs, SQL databases, & vector databases
NOVA can be used to directly query detected and transformed Nexsets containing data from REST API sources, SQL databases, and vector databases. 

Learn more about NOVA and how to use it to query your data in our Querying Data Using GenAI tutorial!

Here's a look at what users will find in each section of the new Nexla UI:

• Overview: The first screen shown after login displays at-a-glance statistics and flow information about the user's account. From here, links allow users to dive deeper into details or jump directly into an associated task.
• Integrate: This section is the hub for creating and modifying data flows. Easily ingest, transform, and send data from anywhere to anywhere, all in one place.
• Discover: Here, users can find all accessible Nexsets. Nexsets are now searchable, giving users a quick and efficient way to find and use any needed data.
• Collaborate: The Nexla platform provides granular access controls for every data flow and component. Now, the Collaborate section makes understanding and managing these accesses simple.
• Monitor: All of Nexla's robust monitoring information and functions can be accessed in this section. Users can complete any troubleshooting or governance task directly within the screens available in the Monitor section.

Nexla is excited to be a Day 1 launch partner for Google’s new AlloyDB for PostgreSQL. AlloyDB is a new open-source database engine built on PostgreSQL for top-tier relational database workloads, for better performance and analytics while being fully compatible with the popular open-source PostgreSQL. Read all about it on the blog and check out the AlloyDB connector in Nexla now.

Token-based authentication is now supported for Oracle NetSuite JDBC connections, allowing you to securely send NetSuite instance data in and out of Nexla. Learn how to set up a NetSuite JDBC connection with TBA in this Nexla Help Center article.

• Nexset Rules: Transformations, Filters, Validations, Annotations all come together into a single entity as Nexset Rules.
• Transform : Easy visibility in Nexset details view removes the need to pause/edit Nexset to see the transforms, filters, validations applied to a Nexset.
• Save and Continue: Save rules for a Nexset as you work to create transforms in Nexset Designer, not just when closing the session.
• No code transforms for Arrays and Nested Objects: By popular demand, even more advanced capabilities within reach of everyone.
• Output Data Schema gets better with ability to hoist new attributes up to the root level. This also up-levels multi-value lookups
• Recommendations for data transformations are here.
