Working with Larger Data Files

Displayr is currently limited to data files less than 1GB in size. However, in practice it is possible that smaller files can encounter problems when loading. We cannot give specific guidance on which file sizes will work, because it depends on the following factors:
- Your document must load reliably in under 2 minutes, or else Displayr will be unable to open it. Keeping web users waiting for long periods of time while documents load leads to a bad experience, and they may feel that the website is broken.
- There is variation between file types. SPSS (.sav) files load faster than other formats because the software has been optimized for that file type.
- The size of a file is not a reliable indicator of its complexity. For example, a data file containing long text responses is probably simpler than a similarly-sized file that contains a much larger number of numeric variables.
