Support Schedule

In addition to the general Reports Utility, there is a Support Schedule template provided with the application which allows you to select standard data relating to Hangers and Supports.

The report will be generated for all supports under the current element, so make sure that you are at a suitable place in the database, for example at the Zone DEMO/H&S/RESTRAINTS

1. Select Utilities > Schedules. The Support Schedule form is displayed.

   The Output can be set to File, Screen or Screen & File. If you select one of the File options, you can set a page length, and also headers and footers for the report. See Support Schedule Headers and Footers.

   The Column Spacing is the number of characters between columns.

   Standard Data options set up columns with the content, column title and width shown. You can switch each item on or off, and change the column title and width. The selectable options are as follows:

   • Support No.: name of the support.

   • Hanger No.: number of the hanger in the support.

   • Supported Line: name of the Pipe being supported.

   • Pipe Nom Size: Pipe nominal bore.
