In today's video, we'll explore what an Element is within the InEight Completions application. In the Elements module, you can see we have parent elements, that assist in providing structure to a project and have various other elements underneath them. Primary elements are those that focus on the work, having different data sets and different quality processes associated to them. When we explore one of these primary elements by double clicking on it, we see at the basic level that it has a small amount of information common among all elements.
For this element that represents a pump, it's an Element type called an Engineering tag. We're able to associate all of the different engineering, procurement, and construction information to it. Things like the Tag Classification and the Tag Details. And because a pump participates in the Mechanical Discipline, we have the mechanical information associated to it.
And if we were to edit it, and change the discipline to Electrical, we'd see the Electrical information associated with this tag. So an Element can have different data sets associated to it based on different types and subtypes. Then based on what type of element or sub-type it is, we can associate different Checklist profiles -- which are used to create a checklist inventory for a project. This inventory is used for progress reporting.
During project execution, you can create certain Issues or Inspection types on the Element. Since this is an Engineering tag, we have a very robust data set available to us. If we were to look at an element type like a sub-system, it has a little bit less information associated to it because it's a parent element, and we're not doing as much direct work against the sub-system. It's an organizational block to the system.
So all the different Element types have different information sets linked to them. Different quality processes can be associated to them as well. On the Element hierarchy, we can structure our projects in different ways based on the need of the projects run over or execution. Here we have a sub-system.
And fitltered on the sub-system., we have various elements that contribute to that subsystems operation. This is a cooling water system that's circulating cold water throughout, and all of the individual elements in here support the construction and pre-commissioning of that operation. Alternatively, when we look at the building market, we can see that we're slicing and dicing our Elements based on Buildings and Levels.
Even going to the level of detail of Room, and then the different distribution systems that exist among those rooms. To recap, based on how your project admin has set up the project, you have different ways of using elements to structure your data with different individual elements to capture pieces of information as well as the quality process. Thanks for watching.
