# Step 1: Configure a solo adapter to view data.

From the Workflows section select the <img src="/files/xBxLL1qlCAogd13SLG0s" alt="" data-size="original"> menu button, then select `create new workflow`.

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/YD58L08Sx3pphS3r1uRD" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Give your workflow a **name.**

<figure><img src="/files/D2o3Tb0wfx7yYtgDIESd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Search for the adaptor of interest. (*In this case it will be a .csv file input adaptor.*)

<figure><img src="/files/oiUSTq1k13WFjKZp2nqt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Select the adaptor. This adaptor will be populated on the canvas.\
Click on the <mark style="color:purple;">file</mark> input. This will open up more information in the side panel.

***Caveat:** If the diamond adaptor is not visible, it may have been randomly placed underneath the adaptor. Moving the adaptor will reveal it for repositioning.*

<table><thead><tr><th width="244">Input adaptor not visible</th><th width="293">Moving adaptor square reveals it</th><th>Input adaptor visible</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><img src="/files/ZuFw5t4HXwSc6yq7zGd0" alt="" data-size="original"></td><td><img src="/files/FFpPANtrMTJhzNJYSLGo" alt="" data-size="original"></td><td><img src="/files/a4DJA8Zh2jna9F39JMvw" alt=""></td></tr></tbody></table>

***

The default <mark style="color:purple;">input-1</mark> adaptor will appear on the canvas. Connect this diamond adaptor to the <mark style="color:purple;">file</mark> connector.

![](/files/mBApoJ0EfkFMgEEnSNV6)

\
Select the **adaptor name within the diamond**, or from the **dropdown** where it was added.

![](/files/lYyYtlMOtHLs2Ypr7SeL)![](/files/PzuyZ5fAUNFu5auLsNST)\
Give the diamond adaptor a name, set all of the required attributes and **upload the input file**, (in this case a *.csv file* of interest) in the test run value box in the side panel.

<figure><img src="/files/YcUQJ1MiE2zAfDi6ecW9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click anywhere on the adaptor card and then click <mark style="color:purple;">RUN STEP</mark> in the side bar.

<figure><img src="/files/h0x5iqUfLRWgF3PoblVp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A successful run will highlight the adaptor with a <mark style="color:green;">green</mark> outline.\
The results of the *.csv* file will now be visible in the pane.
