In the Schema Editor, you can see how the classes, properties, enumerated lists, and units of measure in a tool map schema map to the SmartPlant schema for publish and retrieve. By opening multiple tool map schemas, you can also see how data maps across authoring tools.
You can view mapping in a variety of ways in the Schema Editor:
-
Tool-to-SmartPlant mapping in a UML view
-
Point-to-point mapping in a drag-and-drop UML view
-
Tool-to-tool mapping for classes and properties in a tabular view
-
Tool-to-tool mapping for enumerated lists in a tabular view
-
Tool-to-tool mapping for units of measurement in a tabular view
When you view mapping across authoring tools in a tabular view, you can export Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets containing the mapping. These spreadsheets allow you to sort and view the mapping using Excel's built-in tools.
Not all authoring tools externalize all of their mapping in tool map schemas or map files. Some mapping may be defined in the authoring tool adapter code. This kind of mapping does not appear in mapping spreadsheets generated in the Schema Editor.
