  1. Click Create Document Naming System to add a new row in the bottom of the list.

  2. Type a Name, Description, Display Name, Constant Value, Attribute Name, Document Relationship Name, and Related Interface Definition.

  3. Type a value in the Constant Value field to define a fixed value for a DNS item.

  4. To change the capitalization of the DNS item value, select an option from the Alter Case Options list.

    You can select one of the following options:

    • None - Select this option if you do not want to change the capitalization of the value in the DNS item.

    • To Lower - Select this option if you want to change the value in the DNS item to lowercase.

    • To Upper - Select this option if you want to change the value in the DNS item to uppercase.

  5. Type a Top Node Name and a Class Relationship Name. The DNS item appears under the defined Top Node Name only if you do either of the following:

    • In the Class Relationship Name column, type the name of the relationship that exists between the DNS item and the defined Top Node Name.

    • Type the Graphdef UID in the Class Relationship Name column. You can use a Graph Def to navigate to specific objects.

    The object name defined in the Top Node Name and derived from the DNS item should already exist in the database.

  6. Click Save to add the new DNS item in the database.

If you have accidentally deleted the DNS items ParentDirectory and ParentParentDirectory, then you have to create them with the same name to use as document attributes.

  • You can add additional document parameters in the Document Naming System page, by clicking on Add New Parameter in the Attribute Name list and click Save. A display item and a column item is created for each newly created document parameter.

  • Values for Name and Display Name are required.

  • The Name, Display Name, Attribute Name, and Document Relationship Name for DNS items must be unique values.

  • If the DNS item has a constant value defined, then the application does not validate the uniqueness of the Attribute Name and Relationship Name.

  • The Document Relationship Name must be in the format <Relationship_Name>_<Direction>. For example, SPFNDocumentUnit_12.

  • The display name of the document naming system is displayed as column header in the List view of the SmartPlant Desktop Client. If a document parameter is not selected to create a document naming system then it is displayed as Attr <Number> in the List view of the SmartPlant Desktop Client.
