In this section, we'll guide you through the process of populating your Vantage collections with documents (or records), starting with preparing your data in the correct format. We'll also describe how to effectively use metadata fields for enhancing search capabilities with filters.

Preparation Steps

To ingest your data:

1. Create a new collection either in the Console UI or via the API.
2. Prepare your data according to the Vantage Ingest Format in either
   • JSONL format, or
   • Parquet Format.
3. Upload your data through the Console UI, an upload file, or the upload documents API.

After ingesting your data into a Vantage Collection, you will be able to perform searches.

Ingestion and Search

There is a strong relationship between the document ids and the meta_ fields that you ingest into your collection, and how you search your data. You can take a closer look on Vantage Ingestion Format page, how these fields will impact your search.
