Columns and sorting order

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

You can easily change the positions among the columns by dragging a column to its new desired position, and when it is where you want it to be, you simply drop it there.

 

The width of the columns can be adjusted by moving the mouse pointer to the separator between two columns, and then simply dragging the separator to get the desired width. As an alternative, you can double-click between the columns, at which point the column width will be adjusted according to the current contents of the column in question.

 

In the same manner, you can also in a simple way change the sorting order of the list. Simply click on one of the column headlines and the device list will be re-sorted on the column that you clicked. If you click the same column headline once again, the sorting order will reverse.

 

Changes that you make, as described above, to the order between columns, the column widths, and the sorting order, will be saved on a per project basis.

 

Technical note:

The information about presentation changes that are made manually as described above is stored in a file named DOL.INI which resides in the SOURCE directory of the current project.

 

The columns which are presented in the device list are described below.

 

Column

Description

Pos.

Pos. is a counting number for the row. You can change the sorting order of the device list by clicking on the headlines to any of the columns. If you wish to restore the default order, you can do so by clicking on the first column.

 

Catalogue index

This is the index as it was entered in the circuit diagram. The index can contain a catalogue name, but it does not need to. Furthermore, it can be a composite index, but it does not need to be that.

 

Item designation

This refers to the complete item designation, meaning with respect to the surrounding boundary boxes, title fields, and so on.

 

Count

The Count field is only used for resource groups and composite indexes. It contains the quantity of single resources contained within. Otherwise, this field is empty. No consideration to module is taken in the device list in Dynamic OnLine I since this list is not summarised.

 

Description

The short description field is acquired from the catalogue using the current index.

 

Electrical data

From the catalogue

 

Manufacturer

From the catalogue

 

Type number

From the catalogue

 

Ordering number

From the catalogue

 

E-number

From the catalogue

 

Sheet reference

This is a cross-reference to the symbol for which the information on the current row is acquired. The format follows the assembly of cross-references as stated in the project parameters.

 

Remark

This information is fetched from the remark attribute (MARK).

 

Plant

Plant here refers to the function (plant) designation from the current item designation, if it is a part of the item designation, otherwise from a separate designation.

 

Location

Location refers to the location designation from the current item designation if it is a part of the item designation, otherwise from a separate designation.

 

Short item designation

The item designation with possible plant, location, circuit, and function parts excluded

 

Component type letter code

The component type letter code of the symbol, which can differ from the component type letter code defined by the item designation

 

Function

This is the function code (ART), which for conventional main symbols is normally empty. Terminals, connectors and help symbols, however, have function designations. Here are some in this context common function designations:

 

KLM

STK

LAYSYM

- Terminal

- Connector

- Conventional cabinet layout symbol

 

Symbol type

The type of symbol displayed with its internal code, for instance for conventional main symbol, cable core symbols, and so forth. Please refer to the table found here for a complete description of these codes.
