Chapter 2 – Making a new holding

---

---

	Step 1: To create a new holding navigate to the HOLDINGS MENU.
	Step 2: Once in the holding search menu, press the ADD button to open the holding data screen.
	Step 3: The holding ID number is generated automatically with the first 9 numbers representing a codified address of the Region, Municipality, Community and Village and the last 4 representing the holding order number in the Village. There is a variety of holding types to be selected. Holdings are generally divided into permanent and temporary which are subject to different rules, with some being very specific to the intended purpose. A NAME of the holding can be added as needed. If the NAME is not added the system will create a name from the NAME and SURNAME of the KEEPER. For holdings which are subject to separate registration process/es, the issued other ID number, can be recorded in the APPROVAL NUMBER field.
	Step 4: Select the location of the holding, down to the village level and add the physical/Mailing address if it exists. Add the GPS coordinates to see the holding in the GIS module. The Capacities identifications indicate the size of the holding. Add any relevant notes and SAVE.
