You can use the Equipment List and the Pipe Run List to import new items into the stockpile. This capability allows you to define values for an item that does not yet exist in the database. Both of these reports have hidden columns that store some key information that is necessary for importing this information.
Also, you can use a report to import information for items that already exist in the database. You must first run the report, add or edit property values for the items returned in the report, and then import the items back into the drawing. The property values for the items are updated. Valid reports are Equipment List, Equipment Nozzle List, and Pipe Run List.
