What's New Highlights

Component Center

 

The Component Center is now available to Promis.e users for content sharing across the enterprise.


Components Center is a cloud-based digital component library and catalog management service. It allows users to efficiently manage their digital component libraries while providing their designers with approved, proprietary components as well as manufacturer's content via subscriptions.

Components Center users can create their own organization catalogs and populate them with content provided by Bentley or upload custom content to share among all their users.

Standard Promis.e content placement tools now show content from Components Center. The first time a component is inserted it will be downloaded to a local cache folder making it faster to insert the next time you use that component.

Work Order Management

 

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.

Productivity Enhancements:

1. Work order management variables are added to the report template.

Work order, Document Number, Revision Number, and Lifecycle variables are added to the report template. Those can be added to various reports using standard reports creation/customization functionality.

2. The Symbols Text option is added as right-click option for the Wire Links

2. Life Cycle Manager Settings are added to the Options dialog.
After enabling the use of a third-party asset management application option, users can select between using the active project database or another database. The database is used as a container for data exchange with third-party asset management application


3. Custom attributes for symbols and wires can be added from the Custom Attributes tab. 

4. Project Auto Backup functionality is added to the Manage tab.
The auto-backup can also be configured to work as a batch process on user-defined intervals.
