Use this procedure to match the loop and tag naming conventions for the mapped source and target <units>. In most cases, if the source and target <units> use the same naming convention type, you do not need to match the segment names. However, under certain circumstances, for example, if the target naming convention is the Flexible standard, you may need to match individual segments between the source and target or map segments automatically when the source and target segment names are identical.

  1. On the Connect to Source dialog, select Match Conventions.

  2. On the Match Naming Conventions dialog, under Target plant hierarchy, expand the hierarchy and navigate to the <unit>.

    SHARED Tip If a source <unit> is mapped to the selected <unit>, the plant hierarchy of the source <unit> appears beside the target <unit> name.

  3. Under Naming convention type, do one of the following:

    • Select Tag to map a tag naming convention.

    • Select Loop to map a loop naming convention.

  4. If required, select Clear to clear the mapping between the naming convention segments in the source and target <units>. This action clears all the data in the Source Segment column.

    SHARED Tip You can clear the loop and tag naming convention mapping for all <units> in the domain by selecting Clear All.

  5. Do one of the following:

    • Under Source naming convention, select a row representing the segment you want to match, and drag it to the Source Segment column under Target naming convention for the required target segment.

    • Under Target naming convention, type in the Source Segment column for the required target segment the required source segment name.

  • If segments in the source and target have the same names, you can connect them automatically by selecting.

  • When you drag the source name, the software displays the number of the source segment in the Source Segment column instead of copying the full string. You can add a substring and include fixed text in the source segment name. For example: #2 (1,3) + 'DD'. This means that the name of the second segment in the source is used. The segment itself consists of the first three characters of the source segment name, and has suffix DD without the quotes.

After matching naming conventions, it is recommended that you run the comparison list to view loop and tag names before merging the data.
