# 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.
