Define elements in the worksheet

Add needed column headers to the worksheet.

To create elements with PI Builder, you must define element values in the worksheet. Follow this procedure to define the elements and an organizing parent element for ten reactors.

1. Define the parent element:

   1. In the second row of the worksheet, in the Name column, type Reactors.

   2. Verify that an X appears in the Selected(x) column and Element appears in the ObjectType column. This parent element does not need a template.

      Note: PI Builder creates the elements in the order they appear in the worksheet; therefore, you must enter parent elements above their child elements.

2. Define the ten reactors as child elements:

   1. In rows 3 through 12 of the worksheet, enter the following values:

      Column	Value
      Selected(x)	x
      Parent	Reactors
      Object Type	Element
      Template	Reactor Template

   2. In row three, in the Name column, type React1.

   3. Select the React1 cell and drag the fill handle across the remaining cells in the column to name the other elements sequentially.
