The Engineering Data Editor (EDE) uses a grid or tabular format to display the query results for the database. The Engineering Data Editor is automatically displayed in the lower left of the main window, and you can also open the Engineering Data Editor in the Design window.

The standard Engineering Data Editor is displayed when you open a drawing and by default displays the data for items in the active drawing and Active Drawing Stockpile when you select an item type or a saved view. For convenient review and editing of plant data, you can open a standalone EDE which displays the data in all drawings in the plant and in the Stockpile. The standalone EDE is available when no drawing is open in Smart P&ID.

The Engineering Data Editor Toolbar

At the top of the Engineering Data Editor is the toolbar, which contains the following menu buttons:

Actions

Includes commands that allow you to place multiple representations of an item, delete stockpile items or move items between stockpiles.

PPM All Outputs Graphic Edit

Includes commands that allow you to copy and paste data and to claim items or release claimed items.

View

Includes commands that allow you to edit, save, or delete Engineering Data Editor views, to filter or refresh the display, to generate reports, and to specify display settings for the views.

Select the down-arrow next to the menu button to expose the available commands.

The list on the toolbar contains filters that query the database and display the corresponding items in the Engineering Data Editor. If you want to list all items, select Plant Item from the list.

You can also filter the display by using the buttons that correspond to different stockpiles and drawings (by default, initially only the Active Drawing and Active Drawing Stockpile buttons are selected):

Active Drawing

Displays properties of the items that belong to the drawing you are currently viewing. This includes properties of implied items, which do not appear on the drawing sheet. This option is disabled in a standalone EDE.

Active Drawing Stockpile

Displays items existing in the data model that have not been placed in the graphic drawing. All items in the Active Drawing Stockpile, other than plant item groups, can be placed in the active drawing only. This option is disabled in a standalone EDE.

Stockpile

Displays items for the plant existing in the data model that have not been placed in the graphic drawing. All items in the Stockpile, other than plant item groups, can be placed in any drawing.

Other Drawings

Displays properties of the items that appear in all drawings in the plant other than the active drawing, including items in the stockpiles of other drawings.

The list box displays available item types for selection as well as any saved views.

Asking Filter

Displays the Filter tab of the Asking Filter dialog, from which you can quickly filter the Engineering Data Editor display by selecting a base filter and properties appropriate for the selected item type. You can re-query and thereby refresh the Engineering Data Editor display by selecting the Refresh button .  Finally, a summary box displays a comparison between the number of items in the view and the total number of items, of the type chosen in the list, that exist in the database.

When pagination is invoked, filter applies to the entire data set.

Save to Excel

Saves the current EDE view to an Excel sheet.

Cancel Grouping / Enable Grouping

Toggles the display of the Grouping area above the EDE. Selecting Cancel Grouping hides the Grouping area and cancels any current grouping of the data. After canceling, the Grouping area remains hidden even if you select a different item type to display in the EDE.
