Perspective

A Perspective view is available in Advanced Database Editor (ADE) to show the relationship between a record and its associated records.

For example, a Remote Telemetry Perspective for a remote consists of the remote record and the analog, rate, status, and multistate child records that are associated with this remote. When an Administrator opens the Perspective root record, the Perspective child records are automatically opened in a stack fashion. Grouping the table records into Perspective root and children records has the following advantages:

• You can edit all the records in a Perspective from a Perspective Root.

• You can export a Perspective to Excel.

• You can import a Perspective from Excel.

• You can create and clone templates using Perspective.

Perspective icon

AVEVA Enterprise SCADA contains five Perspective roots marked with the Perspective icon (Batch Transfer, Pipeline, Pipeline Monitor, Remote Telemetry, and Virtual Flow Computer), and four Perspective telemetry child records that are associated with the root (the analog, rate, status, and multistate records). Any new remote record will appear in the Perspective view, and the four telemetry records that are associated with this remote record, will appear underneath the remote record.

The ADE Perspective view (see the figure above) shows that the remote records are a Perspective Root by marking them with a Perspective icon. Expanding the Perspective Root (remote) reveals all the four records that are associated with the remote.
