Report Associations
There are three ways to report on associations without selecting a specific element and showing the equipment association utility:
•
Include association results on a general report, refer to Include Association Results on a General Report for further information
•
Write a specific PML utility to produce customised reports, refer to Write PML Utility to Produce Customised Reports for further information
•
Produce a standard association report, refer to Standard Association Report for further information.
Include Association Results on a General Report
The supplied general reporting tool is described in the Reports User Guide.
A report containing basic information for each equipment association generated using this utility can be produced using following reporting parameters:
•
Set Type to ASSOC
•
Set the With condition field to PURP OF AMEMRF EQ 'ASEQ'
•
The Hierarchy field is set according to the project set up
•
The columns can be set to:
1.
Name
2.
Description
3.
TESTEV (the pseudo attribute that runs the Association test)
4.
fullname of amemrf of assmbr 1: (the name of the first member of the association)
5.
fullname of amemrf of assmbr 2: (the name of the second member of the association)
