Main > frePPLe Tutorial > Entering data in your model
There are multiple ways to enter data in the model.
Before entering any data this section describes each method.
- Enter the data in the form.
In an entity list you can click on object to edit it, or use the 'add' option to create a new object. The change form also allows to delete an object (and all other objects that reference it), and to review the history of edits. - Upload data from a CSV-formatted file.
The 'export' option exports the report data into a CSV-format.
The 'import' option reads in a file in this format.
It is possible to export data in a spreadsheet, make all changes there, save the results as a CSV-file and finally reimport the data. - Data can also be directed loaded into the database.
For integration with other systems, direct access to the database is also possible. This bypasses the user interface altogether. - Fixtures are a special case.
A fixture is pre-defined, frozen dataset that can be loaded in a single step.
This is very convenient to load test or training datasets in the database.
