You can create custom column items for a column set. These column items can be based on a custom property, or navigating an edge or relationship definition. For example, you can create a custom column item for a column set used in the Components window of an IWP.

You can create a column item based on component properties delivered with Smart Construction. For example, a Module column item can be created. You can also create column items that display custom component properties that are not delivered with Smart Construction, such as rooms.

You can also create column items based on navigating edge and relationship definitions, such as component item type.

  • Defining a column item that navigates a relationship definition could have a significant performance impact.

  • If you create a custom column item for a column set in the Components window, the custom column item does not display in any delivered Smart Construction reports. You must create custom reports in order to include your custom column item. For more information, see Custom Reporting Service.

Creating a custom column item based on component properties is a multi-step process:

  • Modify the tool schema to publish the property you want to display in the column item.

  • Publish models or drawings containing the properties to SmartPlant Foundation.

  • Extend the Smart Construction schema to include custom properties not delivered with Smart Construction.

  • Map the component property to Smart Construction.

  • Retrieve the published models and drawings into Smart Construction from SmartPlant Foundation.

  • Create and configure a new column item for Smart Construction in SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client.

  • Relate the column item to a column set.

  • Verify the column item displays correctly in Smart Construction.
