Create a New Element

To create a new element within an existing DB, you must first make sure that the Current Element is at a level within the hierarchy which can legally own the element to be created. For example, a Site can own a Zone, but it cannot own a Valve. To create a new Valve, you must be at Branch level. You must therefore navigate to the correct level by using one of the command options described in Database Navigation and Query Syntax.

Note:
The Q LIST query will tell you which element types you can create as members of the Current Element.

You can then create a new element, set its attributes and, if required, create further elements as its members.
