Since v7.4 release, Insights have moved all configuration(Correlation, Traceability, Bulk Upload, Tool Detail, Audit etc) files to database for easier management. Correlation, Traceability, Bulk Upload, Data enrichment WILL NOT work without files being uploaded in DB through UI.

The following modules configuration files can be maintained through UI

Traceability
Bulk Upload
