Every sheet that is created should have a logical name. To name the sheets one must be adhere to these guidelines:

* Every sheet should contain the name that corresponds to the content of that sheet.
* Every sheet should begin with a capital letter.
* Every sheet should be logical and be modular designed to make possible use across multiple projects.
* Whenever text is added to the sheet the font will be: '''Times New Roman'''

== Sheet design ==

=== First sheet ===
The first shield should be the cover of the project, where a description of the project is specified.

An example given below:
[[File:FirstSheet.png|none|thumb|366x366px|Cover of the datalogger shown as an example.]]

* In every project the first sheet is always called '''Cover'''
* Every change that the project is subjected to is described in this sheet.
* Every '''Cover''' should at least have the words: '''"Engineers of Innovation"''' in the font of: '''Times New Roman''' with size '''48'''.
* Whenever text is added to the sheet the font will be: '''Times New Roman'''.

=== Second sheet ===
The sheet after the '''Cover''' should be the '''"Overview"''' of the project. This is the '''top-level''' sheet of the [https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/multi-sheet-and-multi-channel-design-ad Hierarchical Design] that is used within EoI.

An example is given below:
[[File:TopLevelDesign.png|none|thumb|476x476px|Overview page (first page) of an hierarchical design shown.]]

Every '''top-level''' sheet should be called '''Overview'''.

=== General sheet design ===
For schematic design in Altium different implementations is possible. Therefore within EoI a guideline is created for uniform design throughout different projects:

* Every power symbol should be pointed upwards.
** Every positive power symbol should be:

[[File:3v3.png|frameless|126x126px]]

* Every negative power symbol should be:

[[File:12v.png|frameless|126x126px]]

* Every GND symbol should be pointed downwards:
** Every GND symbol should be:

[[File:Gnd.png|frameless|137x137px]]

* To keep it ordered the use of harness' should be employed. More about them [https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/sch-obj-signalharnesssignal-harness-ad here].

* Differential lines should be indicated as '''"differential pair"''' as with the built-in function of Altium.
* Whenever text is added to the sheet the font will be: '''Times New Roman'''
