Action Section:

Open

Open the selected datasheet for editing/viewing/print previewing of the technical data (editing of title block and revision information should be done from the Edit button). Displays the Datasheet Data Entry window.

Update

Displays the Update options window which updates the spreadsheets of the selected datasheets with the current Project data. If an Excel workbook file does not exists the file is created in the datasheet folder of the Project.

Update with Changes

Updates spreadsheets of selected datasheets with the changes highlighted in the previous issues of the datasheets.

Issue

Issues and updates selected datasheet(s). It takes a snapshot of the data in the datasheet's mapped cells and saves it to Database for future reference. For further information, refer to Datasheet Issues.

Open Issues For Selected

Displays the Issues window listing all the issues of the selected datasheet. For further information, refer to View a List of Previous Issues.

Open Issues For All

Displays the Issues window listing all the issues of all datasheets in the list. For further information, refer to View a List of Previous Issues.

Revisions

Displays a list of all datasheets and their revisions. For further information, refer to Viewing and Editing Multiple Datasheet Revisions.

Add Revision

Displays the Revision Entry window, used to add a revision to the currently selected datasheet. For further information, refer to Create a Revision.

Edit Revision

Displays the Revision Entry window, used to edit the current revision of a selected datasheet. For further information, refer to Edit a Revision.

Highlight Documents for Reissue

Used to highlight which issued datasheets include data that has been changed in the DB and therefore should be reissued. For further information, refer to Highlight Datasheets for Reissue.

Tools Section:

Batch Assign Tags

Displays the Batch Assign Tags to Datasheets window, which lists all instrument Tags not yet assigned to a datasheet and provides facilities for the assignment of multiple tags to datasheets in a batch process. For further information, refer to Batch Assign Multiple Tags to Datasheets.

Printing Section:
