Selection Tree

Choosing a Selection Tree

Selection trees are configured by admin users.  They can be created based on any attribute data contained within the system.

The choice of selection tree is based upon the context of the user and what visualizations a user would like to create:

• Discipline tree is the default view and is configured Discipline to Tag Type.
• Opportunities, Constraints & OCA are enabled during execution phase.
• Work packs shows any work packs by type that have been created.
• Work pack Sequencing allows drag and drop sequencing of packs.
• Activity Planning tree is linked to Project Schedules.

Using the Selection Tree

This example above has opened the Mechanical discipline within the tree and Compressors, Drum, Pump & Reactor tag types are selected.  Selections within the tree turn from white text to green text once selected.   The model viewer will render the selection made.

Selections can be easily removed by clicking on selected tree items

Choosing a Selection Tree (Area Example)

The area based Tree is structured Area to Sub Area.  The above shows the visual for Area 30 – Butadene Extraction with all the sub areas below.

Area & Sub Area attribution will mature as design progresses.  Area and Sub Area attribution is created from the internal attribution within a Tag number.

The tank highlighted above = 3015TK075 – th3 first 4 digits are the area code 30 and sub area code 15.

Piping within the model is currently allocated to areas only.

Action Button

The selection tree action button has a number of features associated with selections made from the tree:

• Set colours for status – this applies status chosen within the status types section to the elements selected within the tree
• Load Selection – allows a user to load a pre-saved or shared selection
• Update – allows a user to update a saved selection based on current selection criteria
• Save Selection as – allows a user to save the current selection
• Sharing – allows a user to share a saved selection with other users
• Selection Info – shows the details of the saved selection
• Clear Selection – allows the user to clear all selections from the tree

Save a Selection

Saving a selection is useful for quickly creating visuals based on a wide selection tree criteria. It ensures consistency within the selection and saves time in having to create them.

Within the pop-up dialogue box give the saved selection filter a name and a description.

Note the description is optional

Click Save

Loading a Saved Selection

1. Within the specific model a selection has been saved use the action button and choose load selection.
2. The load tree filter will list all saved filters within the specific model and selection tree.
3. Viewing the selection info shows what selections have been made, who created it, when it was created and when it was modified.
4. Sharing the view creates a dialogue box where users can be selected from a drop down menu.

Sharing a Saved Selection

Within the specific model a selection has been saved use the action button and choose load selection.

There are 2 options when sharing a selection:

• Public – this shares the saved selection with every user within the system.
• Shared with – this allows a user to select specific users to share the saved selection with.
