# 2.5.24 Manage nomenclature levels

After building your nomenclature, reshape and maintain it on the web app — Indent (nest deeper), Outdent (move up), Duplicate a structure, add points singly (+) or in bulk (Add Multiple, paste from a spreadsheet), and Disable/Enable/Delete levels. A level already used can only be Disabled, not Deleted.

### Overview

Once your nomenclature is built, you can **reshape and maintain it** on the web app — move levels in or out, duplicate a structure, add points, and disable/enable/delete levels. Most of these work **even after it's live.** Go to **Projects tab → Select Project → Nomenclature tab.**

### 🧭 How to use

### Indent — make something a sub-level

Nest items under a parent (a deeper level). _Example:_ to put **Reinforcement** and **Shuttering** under **RCC** — drag them below RCC, **select both**, and click **Indent.**

### Outdent — move something up a level

Move an item up the hierarchy. _Example:_ if **Tower E** is under Level 2 but should be Level 1 — select it and click **Outdent.**

### Duplicate — copy a structure

Replicate an existing level/structure instead of rebuilding it. _Example:_ copy **Building A's** full hierarchy for **Building B**, then make minor changes — saves time and keeps it consistent.

### Add points to a level — single or in bulk

-   **Single:** find the level and click the **\+ button** next to it.
    
-   **Bulk (Add Multiple):** click **Add Multiple** to add many at once — you can **copy-paste from an existing spreadsheet.** Put **each level or sub-level on a separate line.**
    

### Disable — hide a level from mobile

Temporarily stop mobile users seeing a level (e.g. work not needed yet). Select the level and click **Disable.** You can **Enable** it again later.

### Enable — bring a disabled level back

Select a disabled level and click **Enable** — mobile users can use it again when adding nomenclature.

### Delete — remove a level

Remove an unwanted level. **Note:** a level/location **already used** (in an inspection, issue or register) **can't be Deleted — only Disabled.** Only **unused** levels can be **Deleted.**

### ❓ FAQ

#### 1\. What's the difference between Indent and Outdent?

**Indent** nests an item **deeper** (under a parent, into a lower level); **Outdent** moves it **up** a level.

#### 2\. How do I reuse a structure across buildings?

Use **Duplicate** to copy a level/hierarchy, then adjust it — no need to rebuild.

#### 3\. How do I add one item vs. many at once?

### One: **click the** \+ button **next to the level.** Many: **click** Add Multiple **and** copy-paste from a spreadsheet**, with** each level or sub-level on a separate line.

#### What's the difference between Disable and Delete?

### Disable **hides a level from mobile users (reversible with** Enable**);** Delete **removes it. A level that's** already used can only be Disabled, not Deleted.

#### Why can't I delete a level?

Because it's **already used** (in an inspection/issue/register). **Disable** it instead.

#### Can I do this after the nomenclature is live?

Yes — **indent, outdent, disable, enable, and delete (unused)** are done **manually**, even after it's live.

#### Who can manage the nomenclature?

The **System Admin or Project Admin**, on the web app.

### 💡 Good to know

-   **Indent** = nest deeper; **Outdent** = move up a level.
    
-   **Duplicate** a structure to reuse it across buildings/sections.
    
-   Add points **singly** with the **\+ button**, or in **bulk** with **Add Multiple** (paste from a spreadsheet — one level/sub-level per line).
    
-   **Disable** hides a level from mobile (reversible via **Enable**).
    
-   **Used** levels can only be **Disabled**; only **unused** levels can be **Deleted.**
    
-   All done from **Projects → Select Project → Nomenclature tab.**
