Adding a station
================

You can change all your settings throught the *admin section* of the website. 
To reach it, click on **Station admin** link at the main menu of the site.

.. note::

   You will need to have an account with admin access privileges to access this part of the site. 
   See :ref:`user-management` for details.

The first you have to do to start using the single calculus chain is to register your station.
To do this, go the the admin section and click on the **HOI stations** in the *System settings* panel.
This will take you to a page with a list of all stations that you account has access to. This list should
be empty if this is the first time you add a station. 

To add a new station to the database click on **Add HOI station** at the top right of the screen.
This will take you to a new page were you can fill in the needed information. The fields in **bold**
are mandatory and you will need to fill them before you can save you new station. 

For now you will need to fill in the following fields:

Name
   The name of the station 

Id
   The Earlinet call sign with exactly 2 characters.
   
Institute name
   The name of the institute that own the system

Latitude
   In degrees north is the latitude of the station.
   
Longitude
   In degrees east is the longitude of the station.

Height asl
   The altitude of the station in meters above sea level.

PI
   The name of the Principal Investigator of the station. 

You can leave all the other fields empty. When you are done, press the **save** button at the bottom right of the page.
This will take you back to the list of your stations. If everything went OK your station you just added should appear
in the list.

We don't have to make any more changes in this part, so you can click on **Home** 
on the top left of the page to return to the starting page of the *admin section*.
