Create a Custom Data Model Object from a CSV File

Use a custom data model object (DMO) to store information that is unique to your business. You can add a custom DMO by uploading a CSV file.

The CSV file must have four columns in this order. If the CSV file has a header row, the columns can have any name, but the column contents must follow the order.

  • Field Label
  • Field API Name
  • Data Type
  • Primary Key
  1. On the Data Model tab, click New.
  2. Click From File.
  3. Click Next.
  4. If the CSV file has a header row, select the header row option so that Data 360 ignores the top row.
  5. To upload the CSV file, click Choose File.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Enter the object details for Object Label, Category, and Object Description. Object API Name is auto-filled.
  8. Review the field attributes uploaded from the CSV file.
  9. Click Save.

You can now use your custom DMO.
