To add new a new person, add a row to the spreadsheet, leave the uri column blank, and add as many attributes as you have for the person. All the attributes you add should be found in the appropriate enumerations (see above). If the value you specify is not found, it will not be added. To add new values to enumerations, first add them to VIVO, then update the enumerations, then add them to the person.
