The Data Tabs

The drawing data imported from AVEVA P&ID is displayed in grid format in a number of tabs. Each displays the content of one of the database tables:

There is a tab for each category of item (e.g. equipment, instruments, inline components etc), for lines, for drawing data, ports, instrument loops and for user defined attributes (the UDA tab). Tabs may also list associated items, e.g. the Instruments tab lists associated instrument conditioning devices and instrument interlocks.

To open a tab, select it from the list in the Database group of Home tab, and then click Open tab. To close a tab, click X that is displayed when the mouse cursor is hovered over the tab title.

Note: The Customized Report tab is open by default if the Display Customised Report checkbox on the Options tab of the Options dialog is checked.

On the Equipment and Lines tab "Yes" in the RefObjectYN column indicates that the item is a "child" item that references a "parent" or reference object. Child items have the same properties as their parent objects they reference (except their handles or branch ids). The RefObjectDrawingId and RefObjectParentId columns display the identify of the drawing number and tag number / line number of the parent object.

The Table Columns tab on the Options dialog can be used to change which columns are displayed and the default order that they are displayed in.
