Reports

The purpose of AVEVA P&ID Reports is to enable AVEVA P&ID users to transfer drawing data into an SQL database, and to use this database to generate reports.

• When an export is carried out from AVEVA P&ID, output files are created which contain all the data required to populate the database.

• Optionally, as part of this procedure, the contents of the output files may automatically populate the P&ID Reports database tables.

• Alternatively, the output files may be imported "manually" from within P&ID Reports.

• Data may also be imported from AVEVA Engineering.

• Within P&ID Reports, the data may be viewed. Facilities are provided to group, sort, filter and summarise this data. Items can be added and edited.

• Data can be modified by exporting it to an Excel spreadsheet, modifying it in the spreadsheet, and then importing it back into the database.

• Data can be compared with equivalent data held in other data sources, e.g. other AVEVA P&ID projects, other AVEVA products and Excel spreadsheets. If required, the current project can be updated with this data.

• Reports may be generated by exporting data to Microsoft Excel.

• Records can be issued. Each issue of a record is assigned an automatically generated revision identifier.
