Assigning an item to a parent

While creating a new item, you need to consider whether it should be tagged to an existing platform type or not. For example, items to be mounted on board of a vessel should be assigned to the corresponding vessel while an item which is deployed manually (e.g. a drilling instrument) should not be assigned to any platform (choose NA). The latter scenario also holds for items which are in use within a project at distinct platform (e.g. CTDs in use during the MOSAiC experiment; in this case, because the CTDs are being used in water, on ice or on zodiac and thus makes little sense to assign it to a particular platform). Generally speaking, we strongly recommend that you to discuss in advance your particular use case with one of the chief editors listed under SENSOR (for your insittute or project, if applied). You should also visit our YouTube channel, in particular watch the ones we recommend under SENSOR .
