The options on this tab enable you to maintain revisions globally in the Wiring module. Using these options, you can select multiple wiring items and apply revision settings to all the wiring reports you associate with the selected items according to the revision activity you select on the Settings tab.

To open this tab, in the Wiring module, select Tools > Global Revisions > Wiring tab.

When opening the Global Revisions dialog from a specific module, other module tabs are not accessible. When opening this dialog from the Main Window (after selecting a required <plant>, <area>, and <unit>), all the tabs are accessible.

Revision items

This data window displays all the available wiring items per <plant> or per <unit>. Select the items to which you want to apply the revision settings you have defined on the Settings tab. (Use SHIFT or CTRL to select more than one item.)

Panel

The name of the panel to which the strip belongs, if applying a global revision for panels or DCS/PLC.

Strip

The strip name for which the revision applies, if applying a global revision for panels or DCS/PLC.

Cable

The cable name for which the revision applies, if applying a global revision for cables.

Last Revision

The number of the last revision, if appropriate, that was applied to the item.

Comments

Comments appear in this column if the software failed to add, update, or upgrade a revision. The comment indicates the reason for the failure.

Select all

Select this check box to select all the items displayed in the data window so that you can apply the revision settings to all the items at once.

Display only in lowest level plant hierarchy item

Select this check box to display all the appropriate tag numbers only in the current lowest level plant hierarchy item. If you clear the check box, the software displays tag numbers at the current highest plant hierarchy level.

Filter parameters

Filter by

Select an option to specify the method of filtering. The available options are:

Parameters

Select to enable filtering using the filter parameters.

Documents changed since last revision

Filters the items for which there were changes since the last revised document for each item. If there is no document revision for a particular item, or if the revision and the change were both made today, the software does not display that item.

Documents changed between specified dates

Filters the items where documents for those items changed during the date range specified by the From date and To date fields. If the specified dates include today's date, and the revision and the change were both made today, the software does not display that item.

(Filter parameter fields)

Type filter parameters based on the values in one or more of the data columns to filter the data. You can use any part of the string to specify a filter parameter; for example, if you type P in the Last revision text box, all revisions that include this string appear such as P0, P1, P2. If the value includes spaces, make sure you type the correct number of spaces in the string. The string characters you type are not case-sensitive.

Activate filter

Select this check box to apply filtering according to the filtering method that you selected. If you select the check box before entering the parameters, the software filters the data in the Revision items data window as you type.

Clear this check box to enable entry of filter parameters before applying the filter. Note that clearing the check box removes a filter that you have already applied.

Enable wildcard search

Select this check box to allow the use of wildcards in the filter parameters. To perform filtering using wildcards, you must first select the Activate filter check box, then select this check box, and afterwards type the wildcard string for the required parameter. You use the % character as the wildcard symbol. (The Enable wildcard search is enabled only if the Activate filter check box is selected).

Clear

Clears the filter parameters and removes the filter from the displayed data.

Apply

Applies the current revision settings to the tag numbers selected in the data window. Select other tag numbers in the data window to enable the Apply button again.

Prints the list of items displayed in the data window.

Save As (Available only if the software failed to add, update, upgrade, or delete revisions for certain selected items)
