====Detail: Flow Control==== This section allows you to adjust the //flow control// settings for your asset. These effect how [[property flow|property flow]] works on your assets. ===Isolation Point=== By marking your asset as an isolation point for a given relationship, it will be highlighted in some clients when they request a list of active isolation points. A new property will also appear in the [[dashboard|dashboard]] indicating the //state// of the isolation point, if one is available. ===Non-Return Point=== A non-return point is a point where flow can only ever go in one direction. For physical processes, this is usually done with a **check valve**, **diode module** or another type of purpose-built, uni-directional asset. Properties can not flow down-stream through a non-return point. They also help establish isolation on a system by preventing down-stream components from feeding pressure into up-stream ones. ===Source=== An asset marked as a //source// is a source of energy. Hydraulic pumps, generators, battery-storage system etc. are all sources of energy. For an asset to be confirmed as isolated, it must not be able to reach... * The start of any relationship chain (the start of a chain is usually considered to be a source), or * Any asset marked as an energy source. It is not uncommon for an isolation point to **also** be a non-return, See Also: * [[detail_properties|Properties]] * [[detail_alerts|Alerts]] * [[detail_media|Media]] * [[detail_relationships|Relationships]] * [[detail_placement|Placement & 3D]] * [[detail_data_sources|Data Sources]] * [[detail_tools|Asset Tools]] ---- Continue to: [[detail_tools|Detail: Tools]]
