| Work Order Management
Features
|
Several exciting new features
have been introduced that provide enhanced capabilities for executing
Brownfield design changes in the form of work orders. The following features
work in tandem with one another:
- Work
Order Manager - Allows you to define a work order number,
description, status, and other properties for a brownfield design project. The
ability to import work orders from a third party system like SAP is also
possible in this interface.
- Properties Control
- Allows you to assign work orders, bill of material documents,
revisions, and other custom properties to components that are used in your
design files.
- Thematic Manager
- Allows you to create and apply visual styles to components based
on any property values such as work order. You have the ability to color code
or change line types or even turn on or off the display of any components that
match the filter criteria specified in the theme that you create. This makes
highlighting design changes for a given work order straightforward and simple.
- BOM
Manager - Allows you to define bills of material for any given work
order, document, and revision. You can add new parts or edit existing items.
Validation checks ensure that your BOM data is accurate. With some
customization required, you can submit your BOM data in JSON format to a
purchasing system like SAP.

Settings

Several enhancements have been
made to make inserting fields more flexible than ever before.

to create a custom expression using the installation and location variables so
that you can even specify the installation and location values on separate
lines. You can also define the default field parameters for colors, line type,
and text settings in order to define a default corporate standard.
- Fields can now be
defined either as a block or any custom defined shape enabling you greater
flexibility to capture the specific components that you need.

Automatic Wire Numbering

- A new 'Show
Cables' toggle was added in the overhead cables table to allow you to highlight
the cables.

highlight all of them at once.
