You can customize the Catalog hierarchy for multiple levels. Each successive level is designed to segregate and categorize the reference data.

The last folder in each branch of the hierarchy is called a part class, which contains individual parts. For example, one part class in the delivered reference data is Horizontal Centrifugal Pump. The part class contains horizontal centrifugal pumps with different dimensions. The last folder in a branch can hold rules instead of parts.

The folder directly above a part class folder in the hierarchy is called a classification folder. Folders above classification folders are termed hierarchy folders. You can add as many hierarchy folders down through the hierarchy as necessary. After you define a classification folder, that classification folder can only contain part classes. Part classes represent the lowest possible locations in the hierarchy.

  • If a folder in the hierarchy has children, all the immediate children must be of the same type. For example, a folder's immediate children can be part classes, or other folders, but not both part classes and folders.

  • Internal object names of the hierarchy folders and classification folders must be unique in the Catalog. Part class names must also be unique.

In the following example, Cable Tray Parts and Cable Tray Bend are hierarchy folders. The item CT Vertical Bend is a classification folder, and Cable Tray 30 Vertical Inside Bend is a part class.

To customize the Catalog hierarchy, you must edit the Excel workbooks, which contain four sheets that control the hierarchy: CatalogRoot, ClassNodeType, R-Hierarchy, and R-ClassNodeDescribes. Hierarchy sheets do not contain attribute names; they contain object names.

The Catalog hierarchy of piping parts is not customized by the ClassNodeType, R-Hierarchy, and R-ClassNodeDescribes workbook sheets. It is defined by the Commodity Type attribute from the part data. Commodity Type is a codelist attribute specified in the Piping Commodity Type sheet on the AllCodelists.xls workbook. The Piping Commodity Type codelist is used to create the hierarchy in the Catalog task.

When you add a part class to the Catalog hierarchy, you must update the hierarchy sheets, where necessary, in order to see the data in the Catalog task.
