# Create ECSpecs

Before you begin

Create ECSpec reports

Caution:
  You can create or edit only one ECSpec at a time. If you create or edit a second ECSpec simultaneously, you will overwrite the properties in the first ECSpec. To preserve your data, click Save Properties in the ECSpec Editor.

To create an ECSpec:

1. In the left pane of the Console, expand the node for an Edge Server and select ECSpecs.
2. In the ECSpecs table, click Create.

   The ECSpec Editor displays.

   Note: The ECSpec Editor opens in a pop-up window. You must turn off pop-up blockers to use it.

3. On the ECSpecs page, enter an ECSpec Name.
4. Move one or more logical readers from the Available list to the Selected list using the arrows between the lists.
5. Add a Start condition and one or more Stop conditions to the ECSpec.

   For detailed information, see Configuration Options.

6. Select whether to include the ECSpec in each report.
7. Add application-specification data, if any.
8. To save the ECSpec without deploying it, click Save Properties or if finished, click Deploy.

   Note: An ECSpec must contain at least one report before being deployed.

Result

After you deploy the new ECSpec, it appears in the ECSpecs table.
