Adding an input

Before you start:

Before you start the creation of a new Input please make sure you have:

• A Location and Asset set up to connect your Input to
• You have decided to use either a pre-defined Input Type or you’ve set up a custom Input Type. 

Name: 

Give your Input a name. Keep it unique so it will be easily recognisable in future to yourself and your wider team. 

Description:

A description should include any key information about the Input such as use, management and condition. Try to include information that will make it easier for others to understand the Input’s purpose and position within the Location.
