Hi Ishant,
Information for using local data can be found in the respective data folder here. Furthermore, for users who would like to stay on web QC, it is also possible to upload the local data to Dropbox or Github and import it using Custom Data importing, and this video also demonstrates custom data with various examples.
Best,
Shile Wen
