The different technics will not work in all situations, for each technic, the tutorial will mention which modification will be controlled and which one will not. The possible ways for modifying an object are:

  • Console - object creation/modification form as well as bulk-modification form
  • Portal - object creation/modification form
  • CSV import - in the console and in command line
  • DataSynchro
  • API REST/JSON
