Indexes are grouped according to categories that determine the types of reports that are available for generation, and the information that will be displayed in the Construction module browsers.

Three index categories are defined by default in Smart Instrumentation: Instrument Installation Index, Electrical Installation Index, and Mechanical Installation Index. These may be modified if required by the user. Two other categories can be used as required by the user, thus a maximum of five categories are available.

  • You can only edit an index category if it does not yet have indexes attached to it.

  • The index categories can be configured to display different types of reports. Four report types are available: cable, panel, wire, and instrument. The first three types are included in the Wiring Category option, and the instrument report is included under the Instrument Category option.

  • If both the Wiring Category and Instrument Category check boxes are cleared, the index category is deactivated and will not appear in the lists or in the Browser column headers.

  • When at least one of the check boxes is selected, the index category becomes activated and can be used for reports and viewing the data in the Browsers. In this case, the Prefix and Name fields must be filled.

Prefix

The prefix used as a unique identifier for the category. You can type up to 5 characters in this field.

Name

The name of the index category. This appears in the Index Category drop-down list in the Installation Index Manager and also in the Browser headers. The options are Instrument, Electrical, Mechanical, <User-defined (1)>, <User-defined (2)>.

Wiring Category

This option and the next one are used to define the report types that are available for display. When this option is selected, Cable, Panel, and Wire reports will be available in the for Report drop-down list for the indexes. When this option is cleared, these reports will not be available.

Instrument Category

This option and the previous one are used to define the report types that are available for display. When this option is selected, an Instrument report will be available in the for Report drop-down list for the indexes. When this option is cleared, an Instrument report will not be available.
