Insert Unassigned P&ID Database Items

Unassigned P&ID database items are items (equipment, instruments and pipes) which were created in P&ID Reports and on not yet assigned to a project drawing (refer to AVEVA P&ID Reports documentation for details).

Details of unassigned items can be viewed by selecting the Unassigned node under the AVEVA P&ID Database node of the P&ID Data Grid. Under this node, further nodes are displayed: Equipment, Instruments, Pipes, Nozzles etc, beneath all unassigned items are listed.

The P&ID Data Grid provided facilities to place such items on a project drawing, changing them from unassigned to assigned.

The inserted items are automatically labelled with the properties set for them in AVEVA P&ID Reports. The symbol used to represent an equipment item or instrument inserted in this manner is also set in AVEVA P&ID.

Facilities are also provided to link unassigned items to items on a drawing that are not fully labelled. This will result in the unassigned items becoming assigned, and their properties labelling the selected symbols or pipes on the drawing.

Another facility is available to unlink items, for example to remove the association between an assigned item in the P&ID Data Grid and a symbol or pipe on a drawing. The symbol or pipe becomes unlabelled and the item in the grid becomes unassigned.
