Redefine the Displayed Attribute Name in AVEVA NET

The attribute description that has been defined in the PDMS dictionary of an attribute may not necessarily be the desired name to be displayed within the AVEVA NET portal. For example, the Built attribute in PDMS has a description in the PDMS dictionary of Built/Unbuilt flag, in AVEVA NET you may want to have this displayed as Build Status.

• To redefine the description that is output for the attribute, append the new description after the attribute, preceded by >, that is Attribute > New Description, an example is shown below.

  Built>Build Status

  This can also be applied to attributes that have been configured for specific item types, that is PDMS Item Type \ Attribute > New Description, an example is shown below.

  PIPE>Name>Tag Number
