This activity is used to create hierarchical structure such as: function, location, from, to, process, pipe system and electrical. This can be done either by adding an existing parent to an object or defining a new child for an object. The field name for entering a functional parent is called ‘Belongs to Object’. Field names for all other structures correspond to its structure name: location, from, to, process, pipe system and electrical and it can be selected from drop down list in left pane of the page.
Main page and the starting point for managing structures is Equipment Object Navigator. This page shows a graphical view and enables creation and modification of structures. Connecting an existing parent can be done in Functional Object tab,by entering data to "Belongs to Object" field. Creating child structure can be done by adding objects to "Objects" tab.
Functional object must have been created.
The parent object to which the functional object is about to be connected, must have been created.
When added into a functional structure, object level must have a lower number than the object level on the parent object. (Object level is only validated for the functional structure and not for location, from, to, process, pipe system and electrical structure.)
As a result of this activity, a functional object will be added into one or several of the following structures: function, location, from/to, process, pipe system and/or electrical.
