# Create and Edit Custom Profile for Counters

## How to Create and Edit Custom Counter to be applied to Assets in Perspio.

Creating Custom Counter is a useful way to measure time for actions that are not currently being measured. This allows for tracking, as an example, how much time the asset has been idle or how many times a door equipped with a sensor has stayed open, or how much time a fridge engine has worked.

Perspio allows up to 3 Custom Counters.

To enable the counters, performed the steps below.
