You can update or translate properties from an Excel file, but you can also add new ones. To do this, first download the Excel file from the dictionary and modify or add to it.
Start by downloading the Excel file, which has several sheets. The first sheet contains the list of properties, while the others are input aids. As shown in the screen below, drop-down menus simplify the process of filling in attributes.
<aside> ⚠️
Any data displayed in red cannot be modified. Any modifications will not be taken into account during upload.

Once the file is complete, all you have to do is import it into Onfly. The Actions menu in the list of properties allows you to import an Excel file.
A pop-up window will then open, allowing you to drop or select the file in the upload area.
