**Step 1:** Click the **three-dots icon** on the **Code Check** **Template** cell, and then set **PierTemp**.
**Step 2:** As a result of these operations, an issue will appear on the OpenBrIM screen. This does not necessarily mean that any operation was done incorrectly. The issue will be resolved when the pier is defined in the next step.
Quick Tip: Learn how to read issues
When encountering the warning as seen in OpenBrIM app, there is a "issue" , it is advised to review the parameters you have provided. This warning suggests that there might be a missing or incorrect parameter in your input. Check inputs to ensure they are accurate and complete.
When a warning is clicked, the reason can be displayed. The warning is expressed in the format of Component Group Name (can be viewed in the treeview) > User Defined Component Name (can be viewed in the spreadsheet name column) > Parameter Name (can be viewed in the spreadsheet column header).
After clicking on 'Superstructure > Connections > Bolted Field Splice' in the tree view, navigate to the Bolt category. Set the Bolt Property input. The issue will be resolved after these steps.
The screenshot demonstrates one example of two Bolted Field Splice components named BFS1 and BFS2 by the user, with parameter names **Flange Bolt Property** and **Web Bolt Property**.
**Step 3:** Click the **three-dots icon** on the **Pier** cell, and then set **PierColumn5**.
**Step 4:** Click **three-dots icon** on the **Code Check Loc and Rebar Data** cell and click **Edit**.
