Update AVEVA P&ID with changes in an AVEVA P&ID Reports Database

Facilities are provided in AVEVA P&ID Reports to add new items and to edit the values of existing items.

A facility is provided to update P&ID data with changes made to the project database in AVEVA P&ID Reports at any time. Refer to Update P&ID Data with changes made in P&ID Reports.

Such changes are also reflected in AVEVA P&ID (for example, drawings and data in the P&ID Data Grid is updated) automatically when any of the following procedures is carried out:

• Drawings are opened in AVEVA P&ID.

• Project settings are refreshed.

• Drawings are Synchronised.

• Drawing data is exported to an ISO 15926 file.

• The P&ID Data Grid is refreshed.

Whether or tag label data is included in the updated data from AVEVA P&ID Reports is controlled by the setting of the USER_UPDATETAGFROMREPORTS user-defined directive in the Miscellaneous – Settings Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program. By default, tag label data is not updated.

Note: The Compare/Update facility can be used to update drawing data with data from a different AVEVA P&ID Reports Database. Refer to Compare and Update Drawing Data with Data from External Sources.
