Allows you to retrieve information published by other authoring tools.

Plant Breakdown Structure

Displays the plant breakdown structure (PBS) hierarchy to retrieve the corresponding documents. Selecting a node displays the published documents related to that node in the Documents to retrieve section.

In the following examples, the PBS hierarchy is Plant > Area > Unit:

  • Select a Plant node: All documents which have the relation with the PBS hierarchy (Area/Unit) as well as the documents which do not have relation with the PBS hierarchy (Area,/Unit) are listed in the Documents to retrieve section.

  • Select an Area node that has multiple Units: All documents that correspond to the Units in that Area are listed in the Documents to retrieve section.

  • Select a Unit node: All documents that correspond to that Unit are listed in the Documents to retrieve section.

    You can expand or collapse the nodes by clicking the + and - icons.

Document type

Lists the types of documents that you can retrieve. Selecting a document type changes the list view to show only that document type.

Show

Indicates which documents you want to see in the list. Select from the following options:

New documents - Provides a list of only the new documents that have not yet been retrieved.

New versions of retrieved documents - Provides a list of only those documents that need to be retrieved. In other words, the list will display the documents that have newer versions published since they were last retrieved.

Unchanged documents - Provides a list of documents that have not changed from the previous retrieve.

Documents of all owning groups - Provides a list of documents associated with all owning groups. If an owning group is not configured to the user, the documents associated with it are disabled and cannot be retrieved.

Documents to retrieve

Displays a list of the documents available for retrieval. For each document, this list provides the name, type, PBS parent, revision and version numbers, status, date of the last retrieval, source, owning group, publish comment, publish date and retrieve option. Select the check box beside each document you want to retrieve and then use the Retrieve Option column to specify whether you want to retrieve the document As published, Latest data or retrieve it with the CDW data.

As Published - Retrieves only the data that the authoring tool originally published, along with the selected revision and version of the document at the time of publishing. This is the default option.

Latest data - Retrieves data by comparing the information in the database with what is in the XML file and will update only the objects that were originally published.

CDW data - Retrieves the data by updating the property values contained in a published XML with those contained on the corresponding CDW object.

To quickly apply a Retrieve option to multiple documents, point to the cell that you want to select, then click and drag until all the documents are selected. Right-click on the highlighted cells and select Retrieve option to apply the Latest data, As published or CDW data option. Similarly, you can use the Select to retrieve option to select all or clear the selected documents to retrieve.

Select All

Selects all the files in the Documents to retrieve section.

Clear All

Clears any selected Documents to retrieve section.

Batch retrieve

Indicates that the system will retrieve the selected documents in batch mode, in other words, in the background. This feature is not available in the current version of the software.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) documents, such as the Plant Breakdown Structure (PBS) documents are considered administrative documents by the software and must be retrieved by all tools that subscribed to these types of documents. So, even when these documents are new to the tools (have not been retrieved by the tool before), they are still listed in the Documents to be retrieved only list, because they must be retrieved.
