Merge Property Definitions

Equipment and Process Property Definitions can be merged together by selecting the items to be merged in the Property Definitions window grid view and clicking Merge Properties (Cable Sizing Data properties cannot be merged). The Property Merge window will be displayed.

Note:
If a property definition is currently mapped to an external cable sizing template, it cannot be merged. The following message will be displayed:

Complete the Merged Property Name and Merged Property Caption fields. Completing the Merged Property Name field is mandatory and a message is displayed if no value is entered into the field.

Click OK to return to the Property Merge window.

If no value is entered for the Merged Property Caption field the value given to the Merged Property Name is used.

Selected properties may be deleted after the merge and only the merged properties kept. To delete the selected properties check the Delete existing Properties box.

Note:
If the Delete existing Properties box is checked, all references to the deleted properties will be changed to the new property.

Check one of the radio buttons in the bottom pane to select which one of the existing properties values will be saved to the newly merged property.

Note:
If the Available for Custom Reports checkbox of any of the property definitions being merged is checked, the checkbox for the merged property will also be checked.
