Access AVEVA P&ID Reports

AVEVA P&ID Reports can be accessed from within AVEVA P&ID, from an option on the Manage tab (see AVEVA P&ID documentation for details). When AVEVA P&ID Reports is opened from AVEVA P&ID, the AVEVA P&ID project database is opened automatically.

Otherwise AVEVA P&ID Reports is opened from the AVEVA P&ID Common Launcher. Start AVEVA P&ID Common Launcher by clicking on the desktop shortcut, for example:

Select the required project from the row of tiles along the top of the screen by clicking on it. Use the arrow buttons < > at each end of the row of these tiles to browse through the list of projects.

Once a project is selected, the launcher will then open a tile displaying the name and description of that project (click the >> button in that tile to return to the list of projects).

If the project is setup to be logged into using SQL Server Security, the SQL user name and password fields are displayed. Enter the user and password. The project server is also displayed.

Test that the entered details are valid by selecting Test Connection. A message will then be displayed indicating whether or not the connection details are valid. For example:

If the test connection is successful, or if the project is setup to be logged into using Windows Integrated Security, the user name and password fields are displayed. The project server is also displayed. The User field includes a list of all project users. Complete these fields as required. Then navigate to the Reports tile and click on it (use the arrow buttons < > at each end of the row of tiles to browse the list of applications).

Access Rights

There are four levels of access rights:

• Read-only access rights enable the user to view the data only. Data may not be edited.

• Modify access rights enable the user to edit data in the database.

• Import access rights enable the user to modify data as above, and to import data into the database.

• Administrator access rights enable the user to edit and import data as above, and to change any database preference setting. Refer to Specify Database Settings. For users that do not have Administrator access rights, access to database preferences settings is restricted to those on the Fonts and Colours Tab and the Options Tab.

The current access rights level of the user is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the P&ID Reports window.
