User Defined Type Group

User Defined Type Groups (UDTG’s) can be used to replace lists of element types and/or expressions through the design process. For example, a UDTG can be used to filter out all pipe and equipment elements with a certain purpose (PURP) and status value. Once created, the UDTG can then be used and observed in the graphical view.

Command line examples

ADD ALL :DrainPipes

ENHANCE ALL :MissingStatus COL RED

Collections

UDTG elements can be used in collections to carry out a dynamic selection using a filter in the format of a Programmable Macro Language 1 (PML) collection expression, for example: VAR !list COLLECT ALL :SpecialPipes

Access Control Scope element

Filters the Access Control Scope (SCOSEL) attribute of a GPSET element. For example:

SCOSEL ALL EQUI FROM CLAIMLIST

Scope Expression

Use the scope expression functionality available from the Expression Editor window to edit the scope selection of the filter.

Controllable element types

Defines which types of elements a STATUS definition is valid for using the controllable element types attribute.

Controllable element types can be a mix of UDTG’s and User Defined Element Type (UDET’s), from the Chosen element types part of the Select element types window, select the suitable controllable element type (s) (Status by set of type). Refer to Configuring Status Definitions in Lexicon for further information.
