Checking Catalog Data - Intergraph Smart 3D - Help - Hexagon

You can only use the Check Data Command to check the consistency of your piping reference data against the various rules and specifications that currently exist in the Catalog database. The Check Data Command is only enabled after you modify data in the editable grid.

1. After making some modifications to the piping specification data in the editable grid, click the Check Data Command . You can also click the Tools Menu > Check Data Command. The software analyzes the data in the active grid, compares it against the Catalog database, and displays the results in the Check Data Dialog.

2. In the Check Data Dialog, review the inconsistency listed in the Inconsistency box. In the editable grid, the row where the specified inconsistency appears is highlighted. If no inconsistencies are found, an informational message is displayed instead.

3. In the Possible solutions list, select the solution to resolve the inconsistency, or select the Ignore checkbox.

4. Click Apply to ignore the inconsistency as a false-positive. Skip to step 5.

5. Click Resolve. The software takes you to the appropriate location in the grid so that you can add or edit the data as needed.

   After entering new or modifying existing data in the grid, any validation of uniqueness occurs, and if there are errors, you must correct them before proceeding to the next step.

6. In the Check Data Dialog, click Next.

   The Inconsistency box displays the next inconsistency, the row in the editable grid where the inconsistency displays is highlighted, and the Possible solutions list box updates with alternative resolutions.

7. Repeat steps 3 through 5.

   After you have stepped through all the inconsistencies, the software displays a message asking if you want to check for inconsistencies again.

8. If you click No, the Check Data Command ends. If you click Yes, the software queries the Catalog database for inconsistencies again.

• If you are in the middle of a new or modified row, the software commits that row to the Catalog database before running the Check Data process.

• You can click Next at any time to cycle through to the next inconsistency without resolving the current one.

• You can click Close at any time without resolving all the inconsistencies that exist for the selected grid. Unresolved inconsistencies are not stored in the Catalog database; they are regenerated each time you run the Check Data Command.
