AVEVA Catalogue : Create Category

Sections, which subdivide an overall catalogue (CATA), are obligatory; Categories, which subdivide Sections, are optional (although their use is recommended). A Category (CATE element) is an administrative element, which can be created below a section (SECT element). Depending on the purpose of a Category the appropriate element is created in the Catalogue DB (CATE for piping and STCA for Structures).

Use the Create Category or Create Structural Section window to create a new CATE or SCTA element in the catalogue hierarchy, the functionality is common throughout all disciplines.

Depending on the discipline currently selected in AVEVA Catalogue a default purpose selection is made, for example PIPE is selected by default when in the AVEVA Catalogue Pipework discipline.

Select the Use defined Storage Area checkbox to add elements to a defined storage area, refer to Storage Areas for further information.

The CATE or SCTA element is displayed in the Catalogue Explorer and the Model View window is displayed.
