Add Data to a Context Table Manually

Use this procedure to add data records manually to either custom or collector-based context tables. Keep in mind, if you add a new record with the same value in the primary key as an existing record, the new record overwrites the old record.

Tip

When you add new records, or overwrite existing records, in a collector-based context table, the icon that displays in the Source column for the new or overwritten record is the custom icon (icon-custom.png) instead of the collector source icon.

  1. In the Overview tab, click the name of the context table you want to add data to. The detail page for the table opens.

  2. Click the plus icon (icon-add-data.png) at the top of the detail page and select Add Data Manually. The Add Entries form opens and displays a field for each column in the context table.

  3. In each field, enter a value for the data you want to add.

    If one of the fields is a list attribute, you can add multiple values separated by a comma, as in this example: [email protected]\,[email protected]\,[email protected]

    List attributes that can be included in a custom context table include:

    • Direct Reports

    • Email Addresses

    • Group Name

    • Phone Number

    Note

    If you are adding data to a custom context table, you cannot include the following attributes: Thumbnail Photo, User Account Control.

  4. Click Add Record. A row with the new data entity is added to the context table.

  5. Repeat the process for each data entity you want to add.
