You can use the Apply Options feature to create and associate plant items with electrical equipment in the Electrical Index where the associated items are based on typical items defined in the Reference Data Explorer. This option is very useful for populating data in batch mode. For example, you can select a number of motors in the Electrical Index and associate them with a control station, a typical circuit, or both. You can also associate these motors with a typical schematic.
