'Filter' dropdown list and All checkbox below the Discipline list.

The 'Filter' dropdown list defaults to the report being filtered to the clash owner. The other options enable discipline filtering for either of the clashing elements and the owner. The 'All' checkbox is used to check all disciplines.

Group/Index

wildcards

Used for selection of clash sets filtering. The textbox can accept a list of index numbers.

Element wildcards

Used for selection of clash items filtered only by their names.

Element wildcards are entered as space-separated Oracle wildcards, for example,

%42% %43% %44% %45%

matches any clash where either element name contains "42", "43" , "44" or "45"

Specific Element wildcards may be separated by a vertical bar, for example,

%42% %43% | %44% %45%

matches any clash where one element name contains "42" or "43" and the other contains "44" or "45"

You can filter for individual items by entering their full name in the Element Wildcards field, for example /P-1234 will only find clashes with item "/P-1234". Note that the "/" at the beginning of the item name is needed as Clash Manager stores the full Marine name.

Project-define (default Class) list with checkboxes for 'ALL','Unknown', 'Fabricated' and 'Unclassified'.

Used to select whether or not clashes involving items of unknown Class, or Fabricated or Unclassified, are to be included in the report. For all classes, use the ALL checkbox.

The 'Discipline' and 'Status' checkboxes called 'Automatically Set' and 'Manually Set' are for selection of whether the report is to include values automatically set by Assign/Accept rules and/or values manually set. When 'And' is selected at the radio group, both the discipline and the status checkbox selection must be satisfied. When 'Or' is selected, either the discipline or the status selection must be satisfied.

Group/Detail Difference

Two dropdown lists for comparisons of 'Group Status' with 'worst detail' and 'Group Level/Type' with 'worst detail'. The dropdown lists have options of 'Not compared', 'Better than', 'Worse than', Equal to' and 'Not equal to'. The report is filtered to include only clashes where the group status (and/or level/type) compared with the worst case detail status (and/or level/type) are as selected at the dropdown lists.

Note: The Grading order of standard Clash Status is preset at the Status tab of the Clash Manager Configuration form, but the user can insert user-defined status between the standard ones. The grading order of Group Level/Type is set at the Level/Type tab of the Clash Manager Configuration form.
