Configure the custom property in the rules of progress configuration workbook - Intergraph Smart Construction - 2019 (7.0) - Help - Hexagon PPM

You can configure the rules of progress configuration workbook to assign an interface and property definition to a component, based on the lookup values, during the rules of progress generation. All custom interface and property definitions must be preceded with a caret (^).

You must add a column for each property you plan to associate with the component. The interface definition must be defined in the second row, with the property definition defined in the third row. Values for the interface and property can be added to the lookup information. Create a column for each property definition.

In the following example, the Room property value is added to components based on their lookup values and class definitions.

1. Open the ROP Configuration.xlsm workbook. For more information on managing configuration files for Smart Construction, see Manage Template Files for SmartPlant Construction.

   The property definition must be preceded with a caret (^), spelled correctly, using the correct capitalization. The property definition is case-sensitive.
