Before you place such design items as equipment, piping, and structural elements in your model, it is recommended that you create your system hierarchy. The system hierarchy is a collection of various system types. Each system type requires a unique set of properties that includes standard properties required by the software and custom properties that you can define through reference data. Using the delivered reference data workbooks, you can quickly create systems hierarchies and define the appropriate property values, the system parent, and the allowed specifications. You can also use the reference data workbooks to define permission group privileges. See Import Systems Hierarchy from Excel Command.

An alternative method to creating your system hierarchy is using the New <SystemType> System command in the Systems and Specifications task. The command allows you to build a hierarchy one system at a time. After a system is placed in the hierarchy, you can define such things as the allowed specifications, the assign permission group, and the status privileges.

After the needed systems are defined, you can use the other tasks to begin placing the design elements in the model.
