Understand the Perspective view

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

For example, a Perspective for a Pipeline Monitor (plm) record consists of the plmvoldevice child record, which supplies all of the information required for the plm record.

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 Excel.

• You can import a Perspective from Excel.

• You can create and clone templates using Perspective.

  

AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Liquids contains five Perspective roots:

• The Pipeline Monitor root (as mentioned above)

• Pipeline Configuration

• Batch Transfer

• Virtual Flow Computer

• Action Sequence
