Flow Usage
Faster search for item code from Flow for PI device card
If the P&ID device card does not have pre-filled DN information, the program will now retrieve the item code from Flow faster than before. Now the selection of item codes from Flow also takes place for the device cards of the PI diagrams in the browser. The Search button next to the code field now also searches for basic Flow items. If the item code is selected from pipe components, then the selection is made with the pipe component item browser. If the item code is selected from other components, then the selection is made with a generic item browser.
If the item code is already selected on the device card and the button next to the code field is pressed, the item information is viewed in an Internet browser. (PLANT-3346)
