Default Value of the Stencil in Batch Job

Description

To be able to set default values for all existing items that have been created from particular equipment masters it is necessary to edit the equipment master and set the default value for the new UDA. Then running the Batch Job with ‘Update attribute presentation settings’ selected. The master that contains the modified data must be selected.

Before starting the batch update it is necessary that ‘Allow individual shape settings to override default settings’ is checked for items that needs to be updated.

If this setting is not checked, the default value of the new UDA will be taken from ‘Session Defaults’.

If the system changes the database attribute, there will be detailed information in the batch job log.

Please note that the system will not set attribute value for items where a UDA was already defined in shape data. If refresh is executed before the update then refresh will add any missing UDA to shape data with a default value. Then the system detects it and will not set a default value to database.
