Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Project Administrator Version(s): 08.11.10.XXX (SS5) | 08.11.11.XXX (SS6) Environment: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit) Area: Customization Subarea: Original Author: Kestutis Mitkus, Bentley Product Advantage Group Background This article will explain the procedure of changing visible category order in Element Information dialog. For some components user has created additional properties and mapped them in new Categories which are shown in Element Information dialog, but all new categories are always placed in last position of whole list. User want to create his own order and see his new categories in first places on category list. By default category order is created using settings from various schemas and user would need to find required ones edit them all. In this example category order for Pipe-run components will be changed in opposite direction. Steps to Accomplish OpenPlant Project Administrator has special Property Categorization section in Projects schema configuration tool and with help of this toll we can create our own Categories order. Launch OpenPlant Project Administrator, select required OPPID project and select Settings Select Property Categorization section and in Class tree find required Component class Click on Edit Category's and in opened dialog select dropdown button All possible class categories will be shown in existing order Select required category and change its priority number. In this example, using drag and drop functionality in OpenPlant PID I have created categories order and will try to change priority numbers to achieve the same order in PA. Design Conditions category has the highest Priority number, so I have to lower it to 8 and then it will automatically change Operating Conditions category's priority to 9 and will move it in to first place. Same with other categories. If I want State Information after Design Conditions , then I have to change its Priority number to 7 . Change this priority number to all required categories and click OK. After these changes order list will be updated immediately and you can check it in same Categories editor. Save and close Schema Configurator. Right after all changes are done result wont be visible until prefs folder will be removed from this location: C:\Users\Tester\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenPlantPID\8.11\Hp6l2WGYr96EbjD0BSsBKA After removing this folder system will create new user preferences using default settings from project schemas and will take all changes. Open OpenPlant PID model again and verify the results. Before: After: Comments or Corrections?
