An ODM add file is used to add objects to an ODM database. The format of an add file for a database called "Story_Characters" may resemble the following:
Story_Characters: Story_Star = "Peter Pan" Birthday = "Never" Age = 10 Location = "Neverneverland" Story_Characters: Story_Star = "Little Mermaid" Birthday = "Once upon a time" Age = 15 Location = "Under the sea"
The location of the ODM add file should be specified as an absolute path.
