Asset Design Report Configuration

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:

The same report can be used to display object or design part information for several standards.
The same report can be used to display information on different types of equipment objects or design parts.
One report can have many page breaks (many page break report parameters) and a maximum of two page break preference points (items) if each page break parameter is specified for a different standard per mapping.

Using Several Different Standards In The Same Report

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

Using The Same Report For Several Different Types Of Equipment

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

Using Page Breaks In A Report

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.

Using The Order Report Wizard For Asset Design Reports

Select the General Item List report title from the list.
Define a value for plant. It is possible to define more than one plant using the semicolon separator (;) between two or more plant IDs.
Define a value for class - by default this value is % which will retrieve all classes. It is possible to define more than one class using the semicolon separator (;) between two or more class IDs.
Define a value for object ID - by default this value is % which will retrieve all object IDs pertaining to the other defined conditions. It is possible to define more than one object ID using the semicolon separator (;) between two or more object IDs.
Select a value from the List of Values for page break. By default this value is No which means page breaks for that particular report are disabled. Selecting Yes will enable page breaks in the report if defined in the Parameter Mappings tab of the Report Configuration window.
Then select Execute Report.
