===Adding an Infographic===

You add an [[display_list:welcome|Infographic]] to the list by following the steps below...

==Create a new Folder in the Display List directory==

In your [[infographics directory|infographics directory]], you can create a folder for every infographic you have. Note that while it's not required, we suggest avoiding spaces in your folder names.

For instance, if you wanted to create a "Current Temperatures" report, you would make a folder called **current_temperatures**.

-----
==Create an Empty Script File==

Now, create a Javascript source file inside the folder you just created.

This should be called **generate.js**.

-----
==Copy/Create an Info.txt file for the report==

The Info.txt file gives the system some details about the report - most importantly, it's human-readable name.

Info files have four lines....

^Line^Example^Meaning^
|Name|Daily Temperature|The name for the Infographic shown in the web interface|
|Minutes|30|The amount of time shown when you first open the Infographic|
|Start Date|2020-01-01 06:00:00|This line is only used by [[report_list:welcome|reports]] rather than Infographics|
|Timezone|Australia/Sydney|The displayed time zone|
|Folder|//Blank//|A [[folders|folders]] that the Infographic should appear in|

-----
==Create the Script==

Finally, you'll need to **[[writing the script|write the script]]**.
