In SmartPlant Foundation, you can generate data lists to view and edit object data and to create new objects. Data lists are edited directly in Microsoft Excel, and changes can then be saved within SmartPlant Foundation. You can also save the data list offline for editing by users who do not have access to SmartPlant Foundation.
SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client provides a Datalists menu from which you can choose to generate online or offline data lists for a particular instrument object class in the active scope. The data list displays all the objects of that class and displays the common properties.
During Excel import, it is important that you map the UID column in the corresponding data list template file. This will ensure that the properties of objects with identical names are updated correctly before import.
The example data list below shows a data list generated for temperature instruments.
