Entry of Data Entities
The Dragon1 platform has two applications for entry of data entities:
- Collaboration application (this page)
- Architecture Repository
Read more about importing data using CSV files via Architecture Repository.
Read more about importing Excel Sheets (XLSX) via the Import application.
The starting point of entering data manually via the Collaboration application is the Data Dashboard.
Enter Data via the Data Dashboard.
The Data Dashboard shows over 60 out-of-the-box Entity Classes (Object Types) for which data entities can be entered immediately.
The color of an Entity Class box in the data dashboard will change depending on the number of items in the Data List for that Entity Class.
By clicking on a panel, you will enter the Data Entities Lists for the Entity Class.
Additional Entity Classes can be added to the Data Dashboard by picking them from the other 200 Entity Classes in the Settings application.
Data can be entered one by one or by batch.
