  1. Make all the definitions as described in steps 1-9 in the Define a New Naming Convention procedure.

  2. Select the Apply current naming convention to parallel cables only check box to define a naming convention for parallel cables.

    If you do not select this check box, parallel cables will not have any naming conventions and the names of new parallel cables will comply with the definitions in the General Settings window in Options Manager.

  3. To determine the sequencing of cables within the parallel set, select an appropriate setting in the General Settings window, under Parallel cable tag sequencing method:

    Identical

    Sets the tag sequencing of the parallel cables to be identical in the group and the cable uniqueness identifier is the parallel suffix.

    Examples: Cable - 174/0A; Cable - 174/0B; Cable - 174/0C

    Consecutive

    Sets the tag sequencing of the parallel cables to be consecutive and the cable uniqueness identifier is the cable tag number.

    Examples: Cable - 181/0A; Cable - 182/0B; Cable - 183/0C

    Changing the parallel cable tag sequencing method does not affect the tag sequencing of existing parallel cables.

  4. Define the composition of the naming convention by selecting the appropriate naming convention segments and their definitions in the Segment definitions grid. See steps 12-17 in the Define a New Naming Convention topic.

  5. To determine whether to include the parallel cable suffix in the naming convention, select the Parallel Cable Suffix property in the Segment definitions grid.

    • To determine where in the cable tag name you want to include the parallel cable suffix, define the parallel cable suffix in the Segment definitions section. You can move the parallel cable suffix property up or down the list to set the position of this property in the segment definition.

    • When renaming a parallel cable and a naming convention has been defined, you can rename all unprotected segments of the item tag. The protected segments of the item tag cannot be renamed. If no naming convention has been defined, all segments of the item type can be renamed.
