One or more target names can be entered into the 'Target Name' box. Press 'tab', 'return', or 'comma' on your keyboard to finish entering the target name (clicking off the text box will also work). 

• Upon a successful entry, the target name will be surrounded by a light-blue color and a check mark is added in front of the name.

• Target names that include one or more asterisks (*) correspond to a wildcard, where zero or more additional characters can exist between the non-wildcard characters. Asterisks can be placed anywhere in each target name.

• The 'X' mark right next to each entry can used to remove an object.

Since there are a wide variety of ways to upload lists of targets, a number of sample files is provided in the table below.

A file can be uploaded into the form that contains a list of target names or Dataset IDs. The file must be in comma-separated value (CSV) format, and the top row must contain a header with column names. The header row does not need any special character in the front: the first row is always read in as the header row. The header row is case-insensitive.

• If the file contains target names and dataset IDs, the search form will use the dataset IDs and return those exact matches in the search results.  
• If the file contains only target names, the search form will attempt to perform an exact match on the target name.

The number of target names that were successfully and unsuccessfully identified is reported, and clicking on the number of unsuccessful name resolves will display an overlay with more information and line numbers to provide further information.

The columns in the uploaded file are included in the search results table on the far right, with labels of 'User File <col>'.  For example, if the uploaded file contained rows labeled 'target', 'ra', 'dec', 'dataset_id' they are included in the search results table as 'User File target', 'User File ra', 'User File dec', and 'User File dataset_id'.
