# Set elements as default elements

There are a lot of the same elements that recur in different areas of a property. Think of heating elements, doors, ceilings, walls, sockets, windows, floors...etc. etc. 

To avoid having to enter the characteristics every time you make a detailed inspection, there is the "set as standard" function. With this you indicate that the features of the element may be considered as standard for this house. 

Once you have set a default for a certain element, you can have the attributes filled in with 1 click on other elements with the same name. This is done via the question mark symbol at the top (which you only see if a default exists for that element).

When you choose a standard, the features are taken over but not the pictures, evaluation, operation or any fixes. After all, this is a different element and so you won't make mistakes this way.

Watch the video of this important feature in action below:
