Create a new element
An element (Prüfgegenstand) is a single device inside a building: fire damper, fire extinguisher, fire door, smoke detector, etc.
Three ways to reach the form:
- Dashboard card Neues Element.
- In the building's Geräte tab → + Hinzufügen.
- After Code scannen of an unknown QR code → "Create element".
Base form

Required fields (with *):
- Objekt — property.
- Gebäude — where the device sits.
- Kategorie — determines the inspection form later (FLS / BSK / BST / RWM / ...).
- Objektcode — internal identifier (e.g.
FLS-78DE).
Optional:
- UUID code — when present, links the element to a QR label. Tap the scanner icon or type manually.
- Standort — room / floor / zone.
- Beschreibung — free text.
Stammdaten
Below the description: Stammdaten — auto-fills into every new inspection. Different fields per category (manufacturer / type / year / serial / fire classes / approval number / fire resistance …).
Category-specific: Fire door with FSA

For Brandschutztür, additional Typ dropdown + Mit Feststellanlage (FSA) switch. FSA doors need monthly visual inspections — the switch enables the corresponding interval per DIN EN 14637.
After save: place on plan?

If the building has a floor plan, the app asks: "Möchten Sie das Element jetzt auf einem Grundriss platzieren?"
- Jetzt platzieren — opens the plan editor.
- Später — closes the dialog. You can place later from the plan tab.
Tip: Prepare UUID labels upfront with the UUID generator — print, stick, and just scan the code when creating the element.
