In this chapter we describe what the advantage is when including related properties in the report configuration's query.

Related Properties are the properties of the related classes associated with the included classes. This is useful to circumvent the excessive use of acquisition rules in Project Setup.

Available Relation Ships

The following relationships can be used in PlantReporter.

HandValves->PipeLines->PipeLineGroup

PipingFittings->PipeLines->ipeLineGroup

PipingSpecialtyItems->PipeLines->PipeLineGroup

Nozzles->PipeLines->PipeLineGroup

Nozzles->Equipment

PipeLines/SignalLines->PipeLineGroup/SignalLineGroup

Valve List

Lets use the report configuration created under Create Report.

When you open the query you can enable the "Include related properties" checkbox.

If you click on the "Test query result" button you now also see properties of the related PipeLine class (which are the Pipe Line Segments in Project Setup).

You also will find the PipeLineGroup properties which are related to the PipeLines class.

When you open the Report Designer you will see the additional properties.

Drag and Drop the PipeLineGroup_Tag into the column of the manufacturer.

Also change the header text in the label.

When you check the Preview you see the line number tag in the report.

Equipment and Nozzles

Another example is the "PID Equipmentsheet with Nozzles" report configuration.

In the query you see, that only the Nozzle class is selected.

Related to the Nozzles are Equipment and PipeLines. PipeLineGroups are related to the PipeLines.

And this is how it looks.
