Element Hierarchy in the Explorer

Element Types in italics cannot be imported into the database using Schematic Model Manager. However, they can be created using other methods such as the Create menu options (see below), or the command line, so they may appear in Explorer.

Schematic WORL *: The topmost level of the Schematic database hierarchy within which all other elements exist. Cannot be moved, renamed or deleted.

STLNKW : Status Link World.

STLNKS : Groups of Status Links.

Note:

STLNKS may contain other STLNKS, which in turn may contain STALNK elements or more STLNKS.

STALNK : Status Link.

SCGROU: Administrative elements containing groups of elements.

By default, groups for Diagrams, Instruments, Equipment and Pipelines are created automatically when these elements are imported into the database. Other groups are created as required by users (see Create and Edit Elements). The default groups can be changed using the Project Options dialog (see View/Edit Import Destination SCGROUP Elements), or by setting the OWNER attribute using the attribute mapping facilities (see View/Edit Attribute Mappings).

Note:

Groups may also contain other groups, which may in turn contain any of the elements a higher level SCGROU may contain.
