Understand the Perspective view

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

For example, a Perspective for a Virtual Flow Computer (virtualflowcomputer) record can have numerous child accumulator records.

When you open 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 Microsoft's Excel.

• You can import a Perspective from Microsoft's Excel.

• You can create and clone templates using Perspective.

  

AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Liquids contains five Perspective roots:

• The VFC root, as mentioned previously

• Batch Transfer

• PLM

• Pipeline Configuration

• Action Sequence
