You can modify (enhance) an ISNI record in the ISNI web portal by supplying additional information to the record: name variants, dates, language, gender, or nationality, related people or organizations, titles of works created by the person, class and role, and external information from outside sources. Editing a record may involve various actions from simply adding a note to linking to related records. By enhancing a record and adding more fields to a record, status may be upgraded and and changed from "provisional" to "assigned."
How to Add Name

(s)
When you have found and selected the record you want to modify, keep in mind that ISNI defaults to the "labels" display. Click "sources data" or "marc21" for record views that show the complete record as it is stored in the database.
The selected ISNI shown here is for Gustavo Amigó Jansen. The record has one source, the Library of Congress, represented as source VIAF LC. The record still has provisional status (record no. 45118374 is on display instead of a 16-digit ISNI number). When you add your data (source) to such a provisional ISNI, it may be enough to change the status to "assigned" and cause the ISNI number to be displayed in lieu of the record number
...
A name and your local Identifier are mandatory fields. If PCC is not already a source on the record (as is the NTA symbol in the example belowabove), it must be added before any further editing of the record. (An exception is when you add a General Note on the External Information and Notes tab to send information to the ISNI quality team about errors, records to merge or split, etc.)
...
Note: Dates should be entered in ISO 8601 extended format, e.g. 2017-04-15. Dates can be truncated to a month (2017-04) or a year (2017).
Languages are entered with ISO 3-character codes, e.g. eng. (Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages)
Nationalities are entered with 2-letter codes, e.g. US . for United States (ISO Online Browsing Platform; click Country codes button) or use this Wikipedia page.

How to Add Works
Under Works, you can add:
titles of works created by the person. To enter your data (source) click the “+”signs of the fields you want to add, for example a book written by Gustavo Amigó Jansen and a journal he wrote an article for:
Include initial articles if present. The system inserts a "@" before the first word of the title to be used for sorting, i.e., after an initial article. Do not insert the symbol manually.
Subtitle: Record only if available in the source used. Do not input a colon before the subtitle. The system will display a colon after the title proper automatically in the labeled display.
How to Add Creation Class and Role
Under Class and Role TAB, you can add a "Creation class", which is similar to RDA's content type; it represents the kinds of works a person has created. According to ISNI standards, we are expected to use a two-letter code from the MARC leader bytes 06 and 07 (http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html)There is a drop-down list for creation roles.
e.g. :
am = language material, monograph (use for books)
gm = projected material, monograph (use for films)
To enter your data (source) click the “+” signs of the fields you want to add.
There is a drop-down list for creation roles. It is repeatable you can add more than one
How to Add External Information and Notes
Under External Information and Notes TAB, you can add outside sources, such as a website where important information was found. In the box marked "External Information," enter an indication of the kind of source, such as "Wikipedia," for example. In the URL box, give the URL for the source. For an IMDb page, enter "IMDb" in the Information box and the URL for the person in the URL box. Remove the parts of the URL that begin with a question mark, e.g. change "http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0825821/?ref_=rvi_nm" to "http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0825821/"
