The Separators and Delimiters page allows you to add and delete separators that can be used within file parts to create document discovery patterns and tag parts to create tag discovery patterns. You can also add and delete delimiters that are used to identify the end of a tag.

  1. Log on to SmartPlant Dashboard.

  2. Click Data Capture Administration to open the Data Capture Administration module.

  3. Click Central Settings.

  4. Click Separators and Delimiters to view the list of separators and delimiters used in the application.

  5. In the Separators section, type a separator in the Enter Separators box, and click Add Separators to add a new separator.

  6. Select one or more separators and click Delete Separators to remove the selected separators from the list.

  7. In the Delimiters section, type a delimiter in the Enter Delimiters box, and click Add Delimiters to add a new delimiter.

    Select the Ignore Delimiters check box if you want the software to ignore the delimiters while searching for tags in the content file. For example, if you have the tag P-100 in the content file and you are using the tag pattern P-### to search for tags, you may select the Ignore Delimiters check box for extracting P-100 from the content file.

  8. Select one or more delimiters and click Delete Delimiters to remove the selected delimiters from the list.

  9. Click Save to save the changes.

  • The delimiters are internally used by the software for tag extraction. The software looks for the tags that end with the characters defined as delimiters. For example, if you have the pump numbers P-100, P-101, P-102 in a content file, and you are using the tag pattern P-### with comma "," as delimiter to search for tags, then all the tags get extracted.

  • Separator and Delimiter consist of a single character. If you add more than one character in the Enter Separators box and click add, each character is added as a separator. For example, if you type {} and click add, then two separators {and} get added.
