-
Select the Hierarchy Templates node.
-
Right-click the Hierarchy Templates node and select the New Hierarchy Template command.
-
Type a name for the hierarchy.
-
Type a description for the hierarchy.
-
Select a plant group type from the Root item plant group type list.
-
Add more levels to the hierarchy template by right-clicking the last plant group type added and selecting New Level.
-
The hierarchy name length is limited to 80 characters. You can use a space character in the name, but no other special characters.
-
The first plant group type added to the hierarchy is the root of the tree. The software allows only one root for each tree.
-
Drawings are not allowed in the top-most root item in a hierarchy. Therefore, Allow P&ID Drawings is not available at the root item level in a hierarchy.
-
If you use a hierarchy in which Allow P&ID Drawings is not turned on for at least one level, the plant cannot be used in Smart P&ID, but can be used in other associated applications.
-
You can create as many hierarchical levels in a hierarchy template as you have total plant group types. For example, if you have 15 plant group types defined in the Plant Group Types node in your site, then a custom hierarchy in your site can have no more than 15 levels. Additionally, multiple plant group types at any one level are not supported.
-
Attributes for plant group types cannot be added through Smart Engineering Manager. Use Data Dictionary Manager (available by right-clicking the Plant Group Types node) to change attribute display names and to add attributes.
