# 4.3.1 Methods of Adding Cargoes

There are four ways to add goods: direct add, excel batch import, add from database, import by order mode.

If the cargo data is not maintained in database(refer to "[Cargo Management](/4-ui-and-terminologies/4.7-database-management/cargo-management.md)" for details), you can use the following two ways to add cargo information:

1\) \[Directly Add]: When there are fewer types of goods, the goods can be added one by one through \[Directly Add].

Click \[Directly Add] under \[Add Cargo], and then edit the name, quantity, length, width, height, loading orientations and other required loading parameters of cargoes.

2\) \[Import from Excel]: When there are many types of goods, you can add goods in bulk through excel template. Please refer to "[excel batch import](/4-ui-and-terminologies/4.3-cargo/4.3.1-methods-of-adding-cargoes/4.3.1.1-import-in-bulk-through-excel.md)" for details.

If the cargo database has been maintained in the database(refer to "[Cargo Management](/4-ui-and-terminologies/4.7-database-management/cargo-management.md)" for details), you can also use the following two ways:

1\)\[Import from Database]: When there are fewer types of goods, click \[Import from Database] under \[Add Cargo], then check the required goods in the pop-up box, click \[add] below, and finally edit their quantity one by one and other required loading parameters.
