This popup is shown in Figure 3 and is used to add a new assumption for the selected asset.

Figure 3 – Add assumption form

This form has the following fields:
Parent asset: This read-only field shows which asset you are creating this new assumption for.
Reference*: This mandatory field is used to specify a reference for this new assumption, e.g. 01. The reference must be unique within your parent asset. If you click on the Reference icon “Find Next Reference” button next to the reference field then the system will find the next available reference number. For example if you enter the reference AS_00 then the system will try AS_001, AS_002 etc until it finds an available value.
Title: Enter a title for this new assumption here.
Description: Enter a description of this new assumption here.
Custom fields: If there are any custom fields defined for your assumptions they will appear here.
Add more: Leave this check box selected if you would like to keep this form open to add more assumptions to this asset after this new assumption has been created.
*The reference field is mandatory, but all others are optional. If you accidentally try to add an assumption with the same reference as an existing assumption in your project then you will get a warning message. Once you are happy with your entries click the “Add assumption” button at the bottom of the form. This will add a new assumption with the details that you supplied. The new assumption can be viewed in the Assumptions tab at the parent asset’s view page, as shown in Figure 4.
