Easy -to-use User Interface

Familiar Microsoft Office 2010-like UI. See pictures overleaf.

List Editing

Grid-based editing of list data in the new ENGI database. List views can be set up Project Wide by administrators. It is also possible for regular users to create and use their own specialized layouts. This includes grouping/filtering and bulk editing capabilities.

Multi-discipline concurrent engineering

By using the new Distributed Attributes and Database Views mechanisms, it is possible to allow true parallel work between different disciplines, even on the same object.

Navigation

In addition to the list editing, it is also possible to navigate the engineering or system hierarchy to find and edit individual items.

Data Management functions

A number of management functions such as Status Control, Change Highlighting, Attribute History and Extracts are available to manage the lifecycles of engineering objects.

Change Highlighting

It is possible to highlight and report on changes made by different users and disciplines. This also includes highlighting of changes made in diagrams.

Diagram viewer

A built-in diagram viewer allows users to view and navigate P&IDs and other schematics.

Compare & Update

Engineering data can be compared and updated against a number of other AVEVA sources, such as Schematics, 3D, AVEVA Instrumentation (see Compare/Update). It is also possible to compare individual items of the same kind against each other to find differences.

Excel Import/Export

Engineering data can be imported from external sources and exported to external applications by using Excel Import/Export utilities.

AVEVA NET Integration

Engineering data can be exported to AVEVA NET

Reports

Project-quality formatted reports can be created direct from the Dabacon databases. As Engineering is based on the same platform as the 3D and Schematics tools, it is very easy to combine data from these sources into common reports.
