Adding New Data

Adding data unlike mass loading implies single creation of new data in the system using the Universe MDM tools.

Data in the system is created in the form of entity or reference set records in 2 ways:

• Through the user interface;

• Via REST API.

Before you start:

• Create an administrator account.

• Create and publish data model with entities/reference sets.

• Grant access rights to the user creating the data to the entity/reference set where the data will be added.

Via User Interface

1. Open the "Data" section and select the entity/reference set to which the records will be added (Figure 1).

2. Publish the record draft by clicking the "Publish" button in the upper right corner of the screen.

3. Create record and fill in the required fields.

Notes:

• If the workflow are configured by administrator, then the record publication step may trigger the publication approval.

• If the quality rules are configured by data administrator, data quality errors may be displayed at the step of record publishing.

Via REST API

1. Create a REST-request for the record creation. The request may or may not contain the creation of the record draft.

2. Send the request to the API and wait for it to execute.

3. The action will result in the creation of a record.

Notes:

Each request creates only one record. It is possible to create a large number of records by automating one by one sending requests to the API.
