Use this procedure to change the availability status of As-Built/Project Center/Project items in the Project To-Do List. The changes that can be made to the availability status are:
|
Current status |
Can be changed to |
|---|---|
|
Semi-active |
Active |
|
Inactive |
Active |
To change the availability status:
-
Open the Project To-Do List.
-
You can select the item (or items) you want to modify, in one of two ways:
-
From the grid, under the Availability column.
-
From the tree view pane.
You cannot change the availability status for second level items that are marked
for deletion.
-
-
Right-click the selected items and from the shortcut menu select on the required status. The Availability cell is highlighted to indicate a pending change.
If you select items of more than one status, only the possible changes they have
in common are available. For example, if you select one item that is Inactive, and one that is Semi-active, only the Active status is available on the shortcut menu.
-
Select
to apply your changes.
-
For items that are changed to Active:
-
If the items can act as Root Elements, the scope (see Defining the Engineering Scope) of the items is added to the Project To-Do List.
-
You cannot change the availability status for the following item types:
-
Cable Set
-
Document
-
Connector
-
Connector Pin
-
Controller
-
Cable Block Diagram
-
-
The following scenarios prevent a change of availability:
-
You cannot change the availability of an inactive item in the Project To Do List, when it is inactive in your Domain Explorer (open on a project).
-
In some cases Items that do not belong to a root item that is scoped to the project cannot have their availability changed. For example, an item from Crude Unit 2 is scoped in your project. Then copy from As-Built a non-scoped item to Crude Unit 2, this copied item cannot have the availability status changed for its related items.
-
When two identical items with different availability statuses (one claimed as active, the second claimed as inactive) are claimed to a Project, both items are displayed as active when the Buffer spans over more than one page.
