OPPID Properties Priority Ordering

someone already post this info but in my case, its not working.

Classes > Plant base Object > named Item > Document > P&ID Document > Properties Tab.
For each property, you have to adjust or add a priority value.
The higher the priority value, the further up the list it will be shown.
The lower the priority, the further down the list it will be shown.

Can someone explain how the "Category" supplemental... Priority works?

  • Hi Tony,
     
    First, thanks for your prompt reply to my question.
    I follow all the steps you recommended and stated between 2 places (Property Priority & Category Priority), still not doing the ordering even I specified from 500 with the gap till 100.
     
    My goal to accomplished are the following (OPPID – Equipment): OpenPlant PID with Supplemented (Imperial)
     
    1. Name à Property Priority = 100, à Category Priority = 500
    2. Area à Property Priority = 98, à Category Priority = 495
    3. Device Type Code à Property Priority = 97, à Category Priority = 400
    4. Train à Property Priority = 95, à Category Priority = 350
    5. Number à Property Priority = 90, à Category Priority = 300
    6. Suffix à Property Priority = 81, à Category Priority = 250
    7. Desc 1 à Property Priority = 50, à Category Priority = 200
    8. Desc 2 à Property Priority = 49, à Category Priority = 150
    9. Alternative Name à Property Priority = 1, à Category Priority = 100
     
    Note:
    Red part: is define in other schema (OpenPlant schema)
     
    Steps are:
    1. Name à Property Priority = 100, à Category Priority = 500

     

     

     

    1. Area à Property Priority = 98, à Category Priority = 495

     

     

    1. Device Type Code à Property Priority = 97, à Category Priority = 400

     
    1. Train à Property Priority = 95, à Category Priority = 350

     

    So on….

     
     
    Here’s what the results look like. “Still NOT IN ORDER”.
     
     
    If you have any other solutions or key points, please do not hesitate to contact me at anytime.
     
    Thanks again in advance.
     
    Regards
    Lee
     
  • Hello Lee,

    DO NOT change the priority on the CATEGORY. The properties are what you are trying to "order". As you have done, change the PRIORITY on the PROPERTY only.

    If i get a chance today, I will create a video and post it.

    Regards,

  • Thanks again Tony.

    I redo what you just suggested, by removing the Category Priority to 1 since I cannot leave it blank. Is that ok?

    Let me try that now and let you know the outcome.

    Cheers Mate! 

  • I tried it with 1 as Category Priority. No changes. Can we do skype call perhaps you can see the problem occurs?

  • Lee,

    Please leave the CATEGORY alone. Leave the Priority value on the CATEGORY as the default values. If you are arranging PROPERTIES, you do not have touch the CATEGORY

    Edit PROPERTIES only.
