This option allows you to modify the properties of an existing loop number from the Instrument Index module. You can also edit the target loop number when duplicating an existing loop number.
-
To start the Instrument Index Module, select Modules > Instrument Index
.
-
In the Instrument Index Module window, select Edit > Loop Numbers > Loop Number Properties
.
-
In the Enter Loop Number dialog, type the loop number that you want to edit and select OK.
OR
Select Find without entering any loop number and in the Find Loop dialog, select the loop number whose properties you want to edit in the Search results data window, and select OK.
-
In the Loop Number Properties dialog, edit the loop properties by entering values or selecting values from the lists.
-
If needed, select
beside an appropriate list arrow to open the pertinent supporting table where you
can rename a loop number, add, edit, or delete an item on the list.
-
Select Display old loop number automatically under Preferences > Instrument Index > Rename, for the Old loop number field to automatically display the old loop number when renaming a loop.
-
You can define a functional requirement while creating a new loop. For details, see Define a Functional Requirement for a Loop.

-
Select Apply P&ID drawing to tags to apply the P&ID drawing number data to any new tag numbers that will be subsequently associated with this loop. Then, when in a Loop EDE View window (in the Engineering Data Editor), you can select a different drawing number (if available) and propagate it to all tag numbers associated with this loop. If you are editing an existing loop that is already associated with a P&ID drawing number, selecting this option replaces the existing drawing number values with the new drawing number that you enter in the P&ID drawing field.
-
Select the Apply service to tags check box to download the loop service to any new tag numbers that will be subsequently associated with the current loop. If you are editing an existing loop that is already associated with tag numbers, selecting this option replaces the existing tag service values with the new loop service that you type in the Loop service field.
-
Select Apply equipment to tags to apply the equipment data to any new tag numbers to be subsequently associated with this loop.
-
If you clear the Apply P&ID drawing to tags check box, you will still be able to define a P&ID drawing reference for subsequently associated new tag numbers by selecting a required drawing number from the P&ID list in the Tag Number Properties dialog.
-
If the loop you are editing already contains associated equipment, selecting this option replaces the existing equipment values with the new equipment that you type in the Loop equipment field.
-
-
Select the Update document number check box to update the document number of the associated loop drawing.
A document number naming convention can contain segments that represent loop number
properties. Therefore, if you select this check box, changing a loop number property
that is used in the document number segment also changes the document numbers in accordance
with this change. After you select this check box, the software updates numbers of
all documents containing the current loop number. For the current loop number, the
software overrides the default or user-defined numbers of all the documents that appear
in the Loop Drawing List dialog of the Loop Drawings module. For details on document
number naming conventions, see Document Number Naming Convention Examples in the Administration Module help. -
Select OK.
-
Select Yes to edit the tag numbers associated with the current loop.
OR
Select No to close the Loop Number Properties dialog and save new loop number values without editing the associated tag numbers.
