If your data are already in any of the inventories, editing should be intuitive. Column labels for each database are further explained in Guides tab. If you have new records for the inventory, you can choose to add them manually(under development) or email them to the ERACLIM2 team (in any format) and we will add them.
Any changes you make to the inventory are saved instantly, and the file is backed up every time anyone makes a change.
