Because PDS and PDMS are not correlating tools, the process of correlating data from
them is slightly different than from other tools. The loader automatically correlates
all PDS and PDMS item types that are tagged, such as equipment, instruments, and lines.
The data from PDS and PDMS is loaded but the relationships are not processed. That
step is performed as an item in the To Do List. In this task, you review the results of the automatic correlation, correct any wrong
results, and finish any incomplete results.
-
In the To Do List, select the steps that represent the correlation of the PDS or PDMS data. In the graphic below, the correlation completion step has been selected and the results are displayed in the pane below.
-
Modify the existing correlation information as necessary to correlate items that were not automatically correlated or to correct items that were not correlated correctly.
-
Once you have made all the necessary changes to the correlation information, right-click the step in the To Do List, and click Approve. The loader will then process the relations.
-
You can click the
Filter icon to switch the display list at the bottom of the window to display all the correlation
information or only those items that were not correlated automatically.
-
The interface supports drag and drop functionality from other views in the SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client.
-
The ClassDef and Tag values display the information published from PDS or PDMS. The Target Class Definition and Target Tag columns show the current correlation information.
-
When you choose the blank option from the Target Class Definition list box, no correlation is made.
