# Creating Input Data
### 1. Create input data file (.csv file)
Create an input data file (.csv) corresponding to your input data schema. Define column names in the first row of the generated input data file and enter data starting from the second row. The example below shows a screen that creates an input data file corresponding to an input schema named SampleData and enters data.
Entering data into the SampleData.csv file
{% hint style="warning" %}
The schema name defined in the input schema file must match the filename of the input data file. Also, enter column names to match the column names defined in the input schema file.
{% endhint %}
### 2. Save the file
When you're done entering data, save the file and place it in the **InputData** folder as shown below.
