We are happy that you have chosen to be an author of a model. A model consists of the name, description, and category provided in the previous step and then a given number of versions. A version in a model can have the following values:

Draft. Allows for the given version to be edited by model authors.
Finished. A finished version. Can not be edited further.
Active. The active version is the one that will be used when someone uses your model to create a new report. Only one version can be active at a time.

A model is a hierarchy of questions

Questions are where you actually ask for information We will start our model with a section

There is no save button. As you progress, changes will automatically⁠ be saved.

Let's make the first question a simple yes/no questions regarding the water supply for the sprinkler. We will name the question "Pressure" and add a description

Let's add another question following the first.

You can control the type of question on the right hand side, along with other configuration.

If you would like to re-arrange the hierarchy in the model, you can simply drag-n-drop questions into the desired position using the dragging handle in the sidenav.

When you are satisfied with the version, use the back button to return to the model overview

When ready, you can finish and activate the version so it's ready for new reports 🎉

When a new report is created with this model, version 1 will be used.
