You can upload a text file in the correct format to perform volume creation of new disciplines.

It's also possible to do the same procedure with areas and systems.

File must be a text file with an encoding format of type UTF-8-BOM or ANSI (ascii).
You cannot mix different type of items in same file.
No header row must exist.
Each row in the text file will contain a new item that will be created.
Elements in the row must be separated by the Tab-character.
The elements must be in this sequence and all elements are mandatory.

SiteCode Itemcode Itemname ActiveFlag

Element	Comment
Site code	The site code must already exist as a site in OSM.
Item code	The item code (area, discipline, or system) cannot already exist in the database.
Item name	The name of the item (area, discipline, or system).
Active flag	Specifies whether the item is active. Valid values are N or Y.

If there are some values in the text file that are not valid, then no items will be created.

For example, if an discipline already exists, then a message displays and the upload operation will be terminated.

On the Main menu, double-click Disciplines to open the Disciplines window.
Right-click inside the window and select Upload new disciplines.
On the Select file with new disciplines to upload dialog, browse to the tab-delimited text file.
Click Open.
