Report configuration is a method of customizing asset design
reports so as to include object or design part information that depends on certain
user-defined parameters and parameter mappings.
The idea behind these configurations is to be able to produce
multi-informational reports that are easy to peruse because of their page
layout. These configurations achieve three desired purposes:
It is possible to use one asset design report for displaying objects' or design parts' information where the objects or design parts can be associated to more than one standard. This is established by creating two records in the Parameter Mappings tab of the Report Configuration window. Map the report parameter to a different standard and a different class but to the same technical attribute each time a record is made and saved. For example: It is required that the General Item List report with the PURCHASE_PACKAGE report parameter should display Pump Design Temperature data for several standards (NORSOK and SSG). This is achieved in the following way:
Record 1 for Report General Item List with the
Report Parameter "PURCHASE_PACKAGE"
Standard: NORSOK
Class: PUMP CENTRIFUGAL
Technical Attribute: Design Temperature
Record 2 for Report General Item List with the
Report Parameter "PURCHASE_PACKAGE"
Standard: SSG
Class: PUMP
Technical Attribute: Temperature Design, Max
It is possible to associate more than one type of equipment object or design part with a report. The report can contain information on objects or design parts from more than one class. You can ensure this by mapping a technical attribute common to objects or design parts of different classes to the report parameter on the Parameter Mappings tab of the Report Configuration window. For example:
Class Pump has been defined with the technical attribute
Pumping Temperature,
max.
Class Valve has been defined with the technical attribute Temperature, max.
Object ID | Class | Design Temperature | Comment |
PM-311-PA-001 | PUMP | 80 Cel | The value comes from the attribute Design Temperature |
PM-311-V-001 | VALVE | 90 Cel | The value comes from the attribute Max, Temperature |
The general idea is to create one column in the report, the parameter, named Design Temperature (in Celsius) which displays the temperature from both pumps and valves. An example of how the report will look is as follows:
Object ID | Description | Design Temperature | Location |
PM-311-PA-004 | Feed Water Pump 001 | 44.5 | PM-A-2-03 |
PM-312-LCV-001 | Control Valve | 47 | PM-A-2-01 |
It is possible to define a page break for a report specifying a maximum of two LU items relevant to the report (either from object or design part LU) and using the semicolon separator (;) between the item names. It is also possible to map more than one page break parameter to a report, if the parameter is mapped to a different standard each time. The general idea is to group the report's pages using the object or the design part related items.
Example of a default page break, where report pages are grouped by KeyA02
Report - General item list
Report Parameter - Page break
Standard - %
Item - KeyA02
Example of a page break, where report pages are grouped by KeyA02 and then by description
Report - General item list
Report Parameter - Page break
Standard - %
Item - KeyA02;DENOM1
Example of a second page break on the same report mapped with specific standard
Report - General item list
Report Parameter - Page break
Standard - IFS Main Standard
Item - KeyA;COST_CENTRE
It might also be a good idea to break the pages at other database items like Site, Project values, Progress values, Manufacturer, Supplier or any other LU item.
