  1. Select Options > Item Types .

  2. In the Item Types window, select an item type name for which you want to modify the properties.

  3. Under Value select to select a property that you want to modify.

  • Prior to publishing, in Options Manager General Settings window, select whether you want to publish plant items with or without the existing spaces in their item tag names.

    When publishing documents, the plant group type and uniqueness level set for publishable item types must be the same as the settings for those item types in the retrieving tool.

    • When the retrieving tool is Smart Instrumentation, the plant group type and uniqueness level must be set to Unit for the following item types: Signal Runs, PDBs, Motors, Heaters, Other Electrical Equipment, Instruments, and Circuits. Also, the plant group type must be set to Plant for Cabinets (the uniqueness level setting is not important in this case).

    • In Smart P&ID, the plant group type and uniqueness level can be set to any level except for the highest plant group type. It is recommended that the plant group type and uniqueness level are set to Unit in Smart Electrical and Smart P&ID for Smart Electrical publishable item types.

    SHARED Tip The plant group type of PDB internals (buses, circuits, cells, fuses, circuit breakers, and so forth) is set automatically according to the plant group type of the PDB. If you need to change the plant group type of a PDB internal, you must change the plant group type of the PDB itself.

  1. Select Apply also for existing users to apply all the defined preferences for all new and existing users.

  2. Type or select the required value for the property.

  3. Select File > Save to save the changes to the database.

If you open more than one instance of the window and make changes for several window instances, the software only applies changes in the window instance for which you last saved the data, and not in any of the other currently open window instances. Furthermore, the software discards any changes that you saved previously in other window instances. For example, you can open one window instance for buses and another instance for circuits. If you change a property value and save the changes in the window instance opened for buses, the changes do not appear in the window instance opened for circuits. If you now make a change in the window instance opened for circuits and save the change, the software discards all the changes you made in the window instance opened for buses.
