You can use 'New additional information element' to add additional information to
an element in one of the following structure trees:
● 'Hardware tree'
● 'Detection tree'
● 'Control tree'
● 'Operation tree'
● 'Network tree'
Each additional information element contains predefined meta data that is either
already entered after selecting a template or can be filled out manually. To be able
to create additional information elements, Engineering Tool must contain a valid
CDV. You will find information on creating and importing a CDV in chapter
'Importing CDVs [➙ 82]'.
The following 'New additional information element' types can be created with
corresponding meta data under the element to be marked:
● 'Additional component'
● 'Mounting type'
● 'Commissioning date'
● 'Exchange date'
The meta data in question can be edited in the 'Overview' tab in the detail editor.
