# Input masks

Input masks are used for manual value recording in the ACRON Reporter.

The input formats available to select here in the Designer each configure one input mask. All input masks are available in addition to the default mask.

Note

The "default input mask" contains only manual variables.

For greater clarity, the input mask configuration is organized on two levels: Selection of the input format and inserting the process variables.

The process variables can be moved within the [input masks](/acron-9.3/en/anlagenkonfiguration/eingabemasken/eingabemaske.md) by [drag & drop](/acron-9.3/en/erklaerung_zur_bedienung.md#drag-drop) depending on their [input format](/acron-9.3/en/anlagenkonfiguration/eingabemasken/eingabemaske.md#erfassungsformat).

## Input mask group <a href="#eingabemaskengruppe" id="eingabemaskengruppe"></a>

Input masks can be organized into groups. Grouping brings multiple input masks together to form a larger unit, making structures clearer and more concise when there are large numbers of input masks.

### Name <a href="#bezeichnung" id="bezeichnung"></a>

Name of the input mask group
