You can manually add objects by clicking the + icon on the top of the page. You can either add one object at a time or in bulk, by uploading a CSV file.

Manual Input (add a single object)

1. Click the + icon at the top of the object table.
2. Select Manual Input in the dialog.
3. Select whether you want to create a Type or an Instance object.
4. You can enrich your object with a property value.
   • For now, you can only use Input and External Data properties.
5. Save the user object.
6. Once added to the object table, you can further enrich it with all necessary property values.

CSV Input (add multiple objects from a CSV file)

1. Click the + icon at the top of the object table.
2. Select CSV Input in the dialog.
3. Select whether you want to create Type or Instance objects.
4. Select a CSV file from you PC. The file must meet the following requirement:
   • Colums with unique headers.
5. NTI COMANAGE now checks for consistency between the CSV column headers and the names of the Input property in your project. 
   • You are informed of how many objects will be created.
   • You are informed of how many matching columns were found. The check for consistency is case-sensitive.

⚠️ Once the objects are created, uploading a new (updated) version of the CSV file will not overwrite the existing data. Instead, it will create a new set of user objects.

Replace data from a user object to a source object

1. Hold down Ctrl and click to select both the user object and the source object.
   • The two object lines are now highlighted.
2. Click the three-dot icon in the source object and select Replace Data.
3. All values from the user object will now be placed on your source object.

Note: If there are existing values for the same properties, they will be overwritten. However, a blank property value in the user object will not overwrite an existing value in the source object
