AVEVA Clash Manager Window : Clash Set Data
Use the AVEVA Clash Manager - Clash Set Data window to enter details of a new clash set, or to edit details of an existing clash set. Clash sets can be defined directly, copied from an existing clash set, or created from the Default template clash set, if defined.
The default clash set provides default values for New Clash Sets created using the ADD functionality available from the AVEVA Clash Manager - Clash Set window and also when a personal clash set is created automatically during the Clash Check CE process. The default clash set method enables items in the Check, Obstruction or Exclude Lists to be set as defaults.
To use the Default clash set method, the Administrator must first create a Clash Set entitled Default containing the required default values. When the default clash set exists, the ADD functionality implicitly performs a copy of the Default Clash Set.
During the Clash Check CE process, the AVEVA Clash Manager - Clash Set window is used to enter details of a personal clash set. This clash set is used for EVERY clash check of the CE in the particular MDB and, consequently, the default values should be used wherever possible. The Title and MDB fields are read-only. The Check List is automatically completed with details of the group element of the CE. Entries can be made in the Obstruction and Exclude lists, but it is recommended that neither is populated. In these circumstances the Obstruction list defaults to ALL and the Exclude list remains empty.

For the syntax of the elements and their attributes refer to Notes on Element Rule Syntax for further information.
Note Regarding Modification of Existing Expressions: Prior to the introduction of expressions to the lists, the syntax was limited to wildcards applicable to item names. For example, <wildcard> of <owner>, which if entered as ^/M of WORL would have added all Items under WORL which begin with /M. This would now be written as an <expressionStypeB>: name like <wildcard> of <owner>, which would be entered as name like ^/M of WORL. Refer to Notes on Element Rule Syntax for further information.
The Evaluate window displays the results of expanding the expressions in the Obstruction, Check or Exclude list on the AVEVA Clash Manager - Clash Set Data window, or the results of expanding the Tracking Selection Rules on the AVEVA Clash Manager Configuration window - Gtype/Tracking tab.
