You can use the Smart Construction - Display Editor window to create and configure independent and dependent combo boxes for the Smart Construction work package window. Combo boxes display a list of values.

Administrators can configure combo boxes for a Smart Construction work package window to use values from a SmartPlant Foundation enumerated list or a list of objects retrieved from a relationship definition relating to a work package object.

  1. Open the Smart Construction - Display Editor on the toolbar item you want to configure. For more information, see Open the Smart Construction Display Editor.

  2. On the Smart Construction - Display Editor window, select the Show Grid option to help arrange and align controls.

  3. Click Add on the Smart Construction - Display Editor window.

  4. Select Combobox on the Select Type dialog box.

  5. On the SPC Combobox Attribute dialog box, type a label name in the Label box. This is required.

  6. Type a pixel value in the Label Offset box to define where the label displays to the left of where the combo box is positioned.

  7. Type a pixel value in the Width box to define the width of the combo box.

    If you type zero as your value, the combo box stretches to the screen width.

  8. Type a pixel value in the Height box to define the height of the combo box. The default value is 23 pixels.

  9. Select a value for the Combo Item Source box. If you want the new combo box to be dependent on an existing combo box, select the property name of that combo box as the combo item source. If the existing combo box’s value is scoped by EnumListType, select the option in the list that corresponds to that property's name.

  10. Select a relationship definition in the RelDef box. This is required if you selected the source of the combo box to be a relationship definition.

  11. Select an interface definition in the Interface box. This is required.

    If you selected the source of your combo box to be another property, the interface definition is automatically set to the interface of the source property.

    If you selected the source of your combo box to be a property enumerated list, the interface definition defines where to save and retrieve information for this control.

    If you selected the source of your combo box to be a relationship definition, the interface definition selected will be the target object of the relationship definition to return the display value for the combo box list.

  12. Select a property definition value in the Property box. This is required.

    If another property is the source of your new combo box, you must select the property definition value whose dropdown options are dependent on the source combo box.

    If you selected the source of your combo box to be a property enumerated list, the property value is automatically set to the property associated with the selected interface definition.

    If you selected the source of your combo box to be a relationship definition, the property value is automatically associated with the selected interface definition.

  13. In the Tab Order box, type a value to define the display sequence for this control on the work package window.

  14. Select Always or Read Only for the Edit Mode value.

  15. Select whether or not the combo box value is required for the work package from the Required box.

  16. Click OK on the SPC Combobox Attribute dialog box to save changes to the new combo box.
