- 2 minute read
Description
Datasheet instances can be created and edited in AVEVA Engineering. Data entered in mapped fields in the datasheet will automatically be updated in the database. Datasheet instances are based on a previously created Datasheet template (see below) and can be revisioned.
Datasheets can be viewed read-only in AVEVA Diagrams if a schematic item is linked to the engineering item.

Templates are set up in Lexicon using the Datasheet Template Editor. The templates are based on Excel format, which allows for importing existing Excel templates and mapping attributes to the database. It is possible to add free text fields on the datasheet templates that are not stored in the database. User Defined Revision Schemas can be set up in Lexicon
