You can use the data list task pane to create instrument objects and to create and delete relationships between instrument objects in SmartPlant Foundation.
Create a new object in a data list
-
Select the first cell in the next available row, and click New
on the task pane.
-
Complete the row with the required information for the new object.
If the data list has a primary object, new objects are automatically related to the
primary object. If the data list does not have a primary object, new objects are created
without any relationships.
Delete an object and relationship from the data list
When you delete an object, it is removed from the data list display, and its relationship to the primary object is deleted. However, the new object is not deleted from the SmartPlant Foundation database.
-
Select the object, and click Delete
on the task pane.
The Delete command is available only if
-
You have selected a cell representing a secondary object on the sheet.
-
The secondary object is related to the primary object through a relationship that has permissions set to allow deletion.
-
-
In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes to delete the relationship and remove the object from the data list.
Relate an object to another object
-
Click Relate
to search for similar objects, add them to the data list, and relate them to the
parent object.
The Relate command is available only if:
-
You have selected a cell representing a secondary object on the sheet.
-
You have permission to relate objects across this relationship.
Save changes
-
Click Save
to save new objects and relationships in the database when you are working in an
online data list.
