A panel or cable with the same name in both the source and target can only be claimed/merged using the Project To Do List. Trying to claim/merge directly displays a message that the same name appears in the target. You then have to open the Project To Do List and change the default setting of Correlate to Duplicated.

The Correlate task handles a specific situation when two cables or panels exist in the database and have the same name. This feature maintains data integrity in your plant when multiple users are working on several projects in the same As-Built domain/Project Center. This allows you to review the situation and decide whether to allow the software to correlate (overwrite) and update the existing item, or to generate a task of creating a new item (cable or panel and its associated child items), with the same name.

In either Merge or Claim mode, the (Correlate) is displayed in the Task Type column in the Project To Do List, next to the cable or panel and their associated child Items. The Correlate is triggered by the following scenarios:

  • When another cable or panel is recreated with the same name in the As-Built/Project Center.

  • When another cable or panel is recreated with the same name in more than one project.

  • When a cable or panel gets deleted in a project, or in the As-Built/Project Center and is recreated with the same name in a project, or in the As-Built/Project Center.

In the above scenarios, the PTDL Change to Create (Change to Duplicate) becomes available in the tool bar only when a cable or panel has been selected in the Buffer.

To create a new cable or panel do the following:

  1. Select a cable or panel, select PTDL Change to Create (Change to Duplicate) from the toolbar. The PTDL Change to Create (Duplicate) is displayed in the Task Type column.

  2. To see a change in the status of the cable's or panel's related (child) items, select pTDL_Compare (Compare). The indication of the related items in the Task Type column also changes to PTDL Change to Create (Duplicate).

  • You must use the Project To Do List (buffer) when copying a cable or panel from As-Built/Project Center to a Project, which has the same name as one/s already existing in the Project. In the Project To Do List you have the option to select between a correlate task (the default setting), and a duplicate task. If you copy a cable or panel directly from the As-Built/Project Center to the Project, the copy fails.

  • If you choose to not create a new cable or panel, the software performs a (Correlate) task by default.

  • You can select one or several rows of cables or panels with a status of Correlate and apply PTDL Change to Create to them.

  • Select PPM All Outputs Graphic (Refresh), if you want to undo the Change to Duplicate, providing you have not run the Copy task in the Project To Do List.
