# Create Position

## Create Position

To create a position, call `createPos` with a mode and position "viewer". The viewer is an address for the position creator to store extra information about the position. For example, an integrated protocol that creates a position on behalf of its user can store its user address as the viewer to distinguish many positions of its users.

{% hint style="info" %}
The action creates an "empty position" without any collaterals or borrows. The function returns `posId` which must be specified later when adjusting this specific position.
{% endhint %}

```solidity
// Example create position function
function createInitPosition(uint16 mode, address viewer) external returns (uint256 posId) {
    // create position and returns posId
    posId = IInitCore(INIT_CORE).createPos(mode, viewer);
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dev.init.capital/guides/basic-interaction/create-position.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
