Equipment List

All electrical equipment in the project is listed in the Equipment list grid, including equipment created in Electrical Wiring Manager and in Instrumentation Wiring Manager if the project data is being shared with AVEVA Instrumentation.

From this list, new loads and supplies can be created and details of all types of equipment can be viewed and edited. The viewable columns, their captions, column size and order are user definable using the Grid Manager utility.

Access the Equipment List

To open the Equipment List, click Select in the Grids and Schedules section of the Home tab.

Select Equipment under the Lists heading from the list of grids that is then displayed. The Equipment grid is then displayed:

Refer to Working with the Data Grid for information on the grid controls including selecting a record, and sorting and filtering the grid data.

To edit data the user can either double-click on a record, or select it and click Edit on the Home tab. The user can also edit most column data directly in the Grid itself by selecting the cell and entering a new value, selecting a value from a Pick list etc. Columns with a yellow coloured background cannot be edited directly in the grid.

Grid PickLists

Some grid cells contain picklists. The value lists in each pick list are generally loaded from both the PickList library, plus any value that has been entered into the pick list's field. Therefore manually adding a value into the pick list will add that new value to the picklist for future use.

Note:
A pick list may be set so that grid cells must be completed with the values in it,that means. other values may not be manually entered.

Note:
Any value manually added directly into a grid pick list does not get added to the picklist's value list until the Refresh toolbar command is used or the grid is re-loaded (for example, Electrical Engineer is re-started).

Refer to Using PickLists for further information on editing pick lists.
