This procedure explains how to customize the sort sequence of items within the main folders of the Electrical Index and Reference Data Explorer.

  1. Create a new .XML file and call it SpelItem.xml.

  2. Place the file in your plant data location on the server.

  3. Add the following content to the new .XML file:

    <Root>     <ItemType name="Item type">

        <OrderBy>

          <Attribute name="Attribute\Attribution" order="A"/>

        </OrderBy>

        </ItemType>

    </Root>

  • You can add as many attribute name rows in the XML file as you need. We do not recommend having more than three attributes so that not to affect the software performance.

  • ItemType name can be any item type that you need. "Motor" is given as an example.

  • The order can be either ascending (A) or descending (D).

  • The customization applies to folders in the Electrical Index and Reference Data Explorer.

  • This customization applies to main folders and does not apply to sub-folders.

  • This customization cannot be set according to select list properties or properties with attached units of measure.

    Example: <Root>

       <ItemType name="Motor">

        <OrderBy>

          <Attribute name="PlantGroup.Name" order="A"/>

          <Attribute name="TSN" order="A"/>

        </OrderBy>

        </ItemType>

    </Root>
