Project Breakdown Structure (PBS) - *12​.1​.SP4*

The Project Breakdown Structure (PBS) allows the user to present database data in a user-defined structure. For example, it is possible to present database items according to their system, class, A tree showing this data structure is generated at runtime.

An Administrator defines PBS hierarchies using Lexicon. He may create more than one such data structure, each starting from a root node called a PBS Template. The PBS Explorer shows the structures thus defined as separate hierarchies.

The PBS is available in AVEVA Engineering and AVEVA Diagrams in version 12.1.SP4, but was designed as a general capability, which could be in other Dabacon based products in future. Future enhancements will probably include filtering, searching and status control.
