# Creating New CMLs

There are several places in IMS from where you can create a new CML. For example;

| **Section** | **Screenshot** |
| --- | --- |
| CML main grid (Header bar) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_532.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T14%3A24%3A31Z&se=2026-10-28T15%3A24%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=yPGrO%2FxI9z3LLq7XJ85DCf1NK6EGW471QYzfANDbpp8%3D) |
| Circuit main grid (Side info bar) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_533.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T14%3A24%3A31Z&se=2026-10-28T15%3A24%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=yPGrO%2FxI9z3LLq7XJ85DCf1NK6EGW471QYzfANDbpp8%3D) |
| Circuit details (CML Tab) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_534.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T14%3A24%3A31Z&se=2026-10-28T15%3A24%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=yPGrO%2FxI9z3LLq7XJ85DCf1NK6EGW471QYzfANDbpp8%3D) |

  

To create a CML:

- Click *Plus* to create a new CML.
- Enter the required data in the pop-up window. See the table below.
- Click **Save** when done.

The new CML will be created and you will be redirected to its [Details page](/v414/docs/pei-condition-measurement-locations-cmls-details-screen). Note: You can open a CML Details Page at any time by clicking on the hyperlink in the CML column on the **CML** tab in the Circuit Details Page.

CML Popup fields:

| Field /Column | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Circuit | The name of the Circuit that the CML is part of. |
| Sub Circuit | Sub-Group of the Circuit, for grouping similar CMLs within a Sub-Circuit. The Sub-Circuit-CML combination should be unique. If you do not want to group CMLs, you can use this as a short description. It is a mandatory field. |
| CML | The CML ID, click on it to open the CML Details Page. The Active flag shows for each Circuit whether it is active or inactive: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/pei-circuits---main-screen-image-a4ibn9gs.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T14%3A24%3A31Z&se=2026-10-28T15%3A24%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=yPGrO%2FxI9z3LLq7XJ85DCf1NK6EGW471QYzfANDbpp8%3D) Active Circuit ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/pei-circuits---main-screen-image-2is0e3mq.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T14%3A24%3A31Z&se=2026-10-28T15%3A24%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=yPGrO%2FxI9z3LLq7XJ85DCf1NK6EGW471QYzfANDbpp8%3D) Inactive Circuit |

The data you entered while creating a new CML will be displayed on the [CML Details Page](/v414/docs/pei-condition-measurement-locations-cmls-details-screen).

If you need to create a CML with more than one Diameter, see [Creating Multidiameter CMLs](/v414/docs/creating-multidiameter-cmls).
