To bulk import data objects into NovaDB via the CMS API, you structure your records using the CMS value format with numeric attribute IDs and language handling, then execute an import workflow to create or update multiple objects.

Schema discovery identifies the target type structure and correct attribute IDs before a CMS data migration. Discovering the target schema ensures your imported records match the exact forms and value formatting required by the NovaDB CMS API.

The CMS value format structures object data using numeric attribute IDs alongside language and variant handling. This formatting ensures that multilingual content and specific data variants are correctly mapped during NovaDB object creation and updates.

Yes, you can update existing objects and migrate content across different CMS types in NovaDB. The import workflow applies to creating, updating, and migrating multiple records in bulk via the CMS API.

Yes, you need access to the NovaDB MCP server tools to perform a bulk import. The import workflow relies on these server tools to execute API requests and manage object creation across the CMS.

The best way to structure records for a NovaDB content seeding workflow is to apply the CMS value format with numeric attribute IDs. Running schema discovery first ensures your structured data aligns with the target type requirements before import.
