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.
