Add a Discipline

A Discipline represents a specific infrastructure category (e.g. Power, Water, Sewer) within a Design Option.

Disciplines are used to configure SIR Inputs, create markups, and generate analysis outputs.

A Discipline must always be created under an existing Design Option.

Open Markups​

Navigate to:

Demand Data → Markups

Use the Design Option dropdown (top-right) to select the Design Option where the Discipline will be created.

Any existing Disciplines will appear in the list below.

Select + Create Discipline.

The New Discipline modal will open.

Enter Discipline Details​

Complete the required fields:

  • Discipline Name
  • Discipline Type

Available Discipline Types include:

  • Power
  • BaseStation
  • Comms
  • Gas
  • Water
  • Sewer

Confirm Creation​

Select Create Discipline.

The new Discipline will appear in the list under the selected Design Option.

The Discipline is now available for SIR Input configuration and markup creation.

Alternative Method​

A Discipline can also be created from within the SIR Inputs screen:

  2. Select Add New +.
  3. Complete the New Discipline modal.

After creation, you can:

  • Switch between Disciplines using the Discipline dropdown

Naming Guidance​

To maintain clarity across Design Options:

  • Use consistent naming conventions (e.g. Power – Option A)
  • Avoid duplicate Discipline Names within the same Design Option
  • Ensure the Discipline Type aligns with the infrastructure category
