Bulk Upload Data Overview
If you have large amounts of objects, relationships, and roles to enter in Axon, you can use the option to bulk upload data. You can download a Microsoft Excel template from Axon to bulk upload object, roles, and relationships.
A WebUser with the New or Edit permission, Admin, and SuperAdmin can bulk upload data to Axon. If a web user has the New permission for an object, the user can upload a new file but cannot upload existing items. If a web user has the Edit permission, the user can update existing items but cannot upload a new file.
