# Flexible Data Manager

The Flexible Data Manager updates schema module submission data. Use this tool to import submissions from a file, update a single submission, update multiple submissions in bulk, or create test submissions. Field values, data types, and submission owners can all be updated.

> Creators must have the **Administrator** Environment Role to access this tool.

To locate a schema module, select it from the **Choose Schema** drop-down. If you know the module ID, enter it directly instead of scrolling through the drop-down. The module must have a `schema` tag to appear in the list.
