Update Your Data

Being able to see your data is valuable, but being able to update that data is just as important, if not more so.

UI Mode

If you have registered a schema using SHACL class shapes, you can use the Nexus UI tools to create new subjects in those classes.

Adding a new movie instance.

Clicking "add instances" will take you to a page with a form that is populated with input fields based on the declared types of each class property. Click the "+ Add Instance" button, fill out the appropriate input fields, and hit the "Transact" button at the bottom of the form.

Add new data with dynamically created forms based on your SHACL Class shape definitions!

You can even add multiple instances in the same transactions, by clicking on the "+ Add Instance" button again. Once you hit the transact button, your new instances will be committed to your dataset.

Editor Mode

In the editor mode, make sure that it is set to "Transact" mode.

Be sure to click the "Transact" tab directly above the editor.

From here, you can place any valid transactable data inside the txn object, and then click the "Transact" button to commit your data to the dataset.
