This procedure is for tools that have metadata adapters. The steps also apply to map unit of measure list entries created in the authoring tool. For more information, see Before You Begin Mapping for Tools with Metadata Adapters.

Create the New Enumerated List Entry in the Authoring Tool

  • Use the appropriate authoring tool software to add the new enumerated list entry to an existing enumerated list in the authoring tool metadata database.

    For example, for Smart P&ID or Smart Electrical, add a new select list entry to the appropriate select list in Data Dictionary Manager.

    SHARED Tip Terminology for enumerated lists differs from tool-to-tool. Some authoring tools call enumerated lists select lists, picklists, codelists, or lookup tables. For more information, see the documentation for the authoring tool for which you want to add metadata.

Load the Tool Map Schema and Open the Map Enumerated List

  1. In the Desktop Client, set your scope for the applicable plant, and then find the CMF file.

  2. Right-click the CMF file, and then select Edit > Check Out to display the Check Out dialog.

  3. Select OK.

  4. In the New Items window, right-click the new version of the CMF file, and select Launch Schema Editor.

  5. On the Set Active Configurations dialog, select the schema version that you want to view.For more options, select Advanced.

  6. Select OK to set the configuration.

  • The CMF file must be checked in to SmartPlant Foundation before users can publish from an authoring tool.

  • By default, changes to the SmartPlant Schema are written to all versions managed by the CMF file. Although you can choose to write changes to only selected versions, we do not recommend doing so.

    If you choose to view one version of the schema (Specify configurations to display window) but write changes to all versions (Set Configurations for new objects window), an information window appears when you select OK, indicating that you will be prompted with every change to the schema to confirm that you want to write the changes to all versions. Select OK to continue.

  1. In the Schema Editor, synchronize the authoring tool map schema for which you want to define mapping. For more information, see Synchronize Tool Metadata with the Tool Map Schema.

    SHARED Tip The new enumerated list entry that you added in the authoring tool appears in the Synchronization dialog box to be added to the tool map schema file.

    Mapping_EnumEntryfromTool_Synch

  2. In the Map Environment, expand the Tool node, and then expand the node for the appropriate authoring tool.

  3. Under the authoring tool node in the tree view, expand Loaded Map Schemas and the <Authoring Tool> Tool Schema node to display contents of the authoring tool map schema.

  4. Expand the Map Enumerated List node and double-click the map enumerated list to which you added the new list entry.

Automatically Create and Map Enumerations

  1. Click the Publish or Retrieve tab in the Edit Map Enumerated List Definition dialog box.

  2. Under Unmapped application enumerations, select the tool map enumerations that you want to create in the SmartPlant schema and map, and then click Create and map enumerations AutoCreateICON on the toolbar.

    AutoCreateEnum1

  3. In the Create and Map Enumerations dialog box, review the auto creation and mapping information, and click OK to create and map the enumerated list entries.

    The Convert Enumeration to Enumerated List command changes the Enumerated list field to Parent enumerated list and the Enumeration field to Enumerated list. After this command is activated, the command name changes to Convert Enumerated List to Enumeration, which changes the fields back to the original state. You can use these different fields based on the type of information you want to add or create.

  4. Click OK in the Edit Map Enumerations dialog box to save your changes.
