This glossary is intended to be a reference source for further information about the properties that belong to drawing objects. Item types and their properties are listed and related in this document.

If you encounter a property in the Properties window (or Modify Item Type Properties dialog in Data Dictionary Manager) that you want more information about, you can open the Properties node in the Table of Contents in this Properties Glossary. The properties are listed in alphabetical order.

Not every property that appears in the software is displayed directly in the Properties nodes of this glossary. For instance, Case properties (either Control Case or Process Case) apply to cases directly, which in turn are related to objects. For instance, if you are looking at an offline instrument, and you want to know more about the Ctrl Case Min Voltage property, this specific property does not appear in this glossary. However, you can look up the Voltage Property entry to obtain general information about voltage properties. The same principle applies for equipment items, for instance, whose properties include process cases. In order to determine if the property that you want to display information about is a case property, look in the categories in the Properties window. You must display a categorical view of the Properties window in order to see the categories, and you must display Case data, too. For more information about changing views of the Properties window in the Smart P&ID modeler, see Working with the Properties Window in the Smart P&ID Help.

In Catalog Manager, all the case properties are automatically displayed. In Data Dictionary Manager, you have to select the Complete list option on the Modify Item Type Properties dialog in order to see all the Case properties.

The reason that this glossary does not list every property as it appears in the Properties window is that many of the properties there are actually "item attributions" and are properties that are constructed from the objects and properties in the database. Therefore, it does require extra work to discover their corresponding parts in this glossary.

The Data Model Excel spreadsheet is a two-dimensional representation of the application's Data Model. This spreadsheet lists item types, item properties, and data types, as well as all the constructed item attributions that apply to drawing objects. This list is alphabetical according to item type.
