3. Add a table from data warehouse or upload a CSV

The default tab is "Data Warehouse", which lets you select tables from existing database connections.

Alternatively, file upload is supported for CSVs. Only one table can be selected at a time, and only CSVs can be uploaded. CSV headers must only use alphanumeric characters, spaces, and underscores.
