Validation

When drawing a P&ID, two forms of validation must be considered:

• Online (label data) validation, which takes place when P&ID graphics are labelled.

  See Drawing P&IDs - Label Validation.

• Drawing integrity validation, which takes place when the synchronising procedure is carried out (see Export Data to a P&ID Reports Database).

The List Item Details procedure is another validation tool. It can be used to identify the item type of an object and confirm the sequence ID of labels in a pipe.
