Project-wide Clash Status Reporting
In order to keep project management aware of the model’s clash status, it is important to generate regular clash status reports. There are a number of ways of doing this and any combination of the methods described here can be utilised:
•
Business Objects – this is AVEVA’s recommended method of reporting for all Plant Model Management products. A BO universe is required for this and, once in place, the BO reports can be produced easily and quickly.
•
Track Changes – this creates milestones in the Clash Manager database to allow filtering of statistics on the main Clash Manager bar charts. This also allows rudimentary clash trend analysis to be performed. The bar chart graphics directly cannot be saved directly, however a third-party screen capture tool can be used to do this. Alternatively, statistics can be saved in csv format for import into Excel, or similar spread sheet application, as described below.
•
Microsoft Excel – a number of clients are using this method to great effect to produce detailed statistics for clash status. An example of how this can be achieved is to take a daily or weekly save of the main form statistics and load these into an Excel sheet. This data can then be used to produce detailed trend analysis reports, using Excel’s in-built charting and statistical functions.
•
'Screen Shots’ – Simply take regular screen ‘shots’ from the main Clash Manager bar chart display.
