Measurements like width and height of components are described in geometries. This ensures that components and their slots (e.g. a PCI card and the corresponding PCI slot) have the same measurements and are compatible to each other. These are typical examples of geometries: - 19 inch
- PCI slot
- SFP
- 2.5 inch drive etc.
Access the function Manage geometries via the catalog section on the Dashboard. First a list of all existing geometries in the catalog is displayed. Using the respective function (1) new geometries can be created or imported from the online catalog and existing ones can be deleted. To edit a geometry just double click it. Via right click on a geometry you can display all component definitions using it. | Note |

The online catalog provides various standard geometries and conventional measurements like 19 inch, floppy disk drive and PCI slot. Please use the online catalog to avoid inconsistencies and data duplication. |
