# New local plant
If no plant is yet present, or if you want to create an additional plant, the following options are available:
* Assigning the identification and name and selecting the data paths initiates the configuration of a new plant.
* By selecting a template, you can create a demo plant in order to familiarize yourself with its design and structure, or to import parts of it into your own plant.
### Identification
Make sure the name is unique, so as to ensure proper identification. It may be a unique short form.
This identifier is key when linking data from different plants, for example, and is required as a parameter in many instances.
Note
If you are accessing a network plant remotely, or integrating an existing plant, this input field is not editable.
### Name
Detailed designation of a local plant, outputted in all ACRON reports under the variable "plant.name" for example. It serves as an orientation guide for the user at many points within the individual modules.
### Plant data path
The path location where ACRON places all base data.
This path contains all the relevant data (process values, configuration data, etc.) of a plant. A backup of all the files in this path, including all the files in all subfolders, represents a full backup of the plant (Designer/ Plant management/Back up plant).
This path is selected when the plant is created. Unlike the compression path, it cannot be changed subsequently.
### Compression path
The path location where ACRON stores all restorable compression files and other temporary files.
These files are needed to compress the data (day, month, year,...). These data can be repeatedly generated from the available origin data but, depending on the volume of data, that may take hours.
Note
A new or changed directory location for the compression path is only set up after logging out and back in to the plant or restarting the Designer.
{% hint style="info" %}
Attention
The path should be located on a local drive, though not in the ACRON installation location. The data and compression paths should not be subfolders of the other path. It is not advisable to place files manually in this location or in any of its subfolders.
{% endhint %}
### Template
Selection option either to create an empty plant or to use the demo plant in order to familiarize yourself with its design and structure, or to import parts of it into your own plant
