Create Category

Sections, which subdivide an overall catalogue (CATA), are obligatory; Categories, which subdivide Sections, are optional (although their use is recommended). A Category (CATE element) is an administrative element, which can be created below a section (SECT element). Depending on the purpose of a Category the appropriate element is created in the Catalogue DB (CATE for piping and STCA for Structures).

To create a category

1. Use the Create Category or Create Structural Section window to create a new CATE or SCTA element in the catalogue hierarchy, the functionality is common throughout all disciplines.

   Depending on the discipline currently selected in AVEVA Catalogue a default purpose selection is made, for example PIPE is selected by default when in the AVEVA Catalogue Pipework discipline.

2. Select the Use defined Storage Area checkbox to add elements to a defined storage area, refer to Storage Areas for further information.

   

   The CATE or SCTA element is displayed in the Catalogue Explorer and the Model View window is displayed.
