Adding Item Types - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Training - Intergraph Process, Power & Marine Documentation

You are now ready to start building your query by adding Item Types to the Definition window and creating their relationships.

1. From the Item Types Explorer, do one of the following:

   • Drag and drop the Instrument Item Type to the Definition window.

   • Double-click the Instrument Item Type, the instrument appears in the Definition window.

     

2. Now you need to add the Loop Item Type to the Definition window and create a relationship between the two items. You can use the same methods as in step 1, or you can right-click on the Instrument and from the shortcut menu click Add relation to > Loop.
   Click an item to select it. A selected item has a shadow border around it.

   

   Whatever method you choose, you should see the following in the Definitions window:

   

   

   • The line connecting the Item Types indicates that the items have a relationship. The Relationship icon opens the Relation dialog box.

   • Click on an item or icon and drag it around the screen to position it where you want.

     When creating relations between plant groups, make sure you start building the hierarchy from the Lowest Plant Group, and work your way up to the Highest Plant Group. Building the hierarchy in any other way does not populate the correct results in the Query Preview.
