Data sheets can be created for devices, functions and specifications. Via the assistant Create Data Sheet/Settings a subfolder of the documents folder can be specified, in which the data sheet is to be stored. If no entries are made, data sheets are stored in the subfolders equipment, functions or specifications in dependence on the starting point.

·            The data sheets are created up to the last level of the devices.

·            In case of data sheets created in this section, the system attributes (tag system) are not output.

·            If equipment is associated to a specification device, either the number of the associated equipment or a list which contains the data fields "Name", "Part of" and "Associated Function” of the associated equipment can be output. The output mode is specified in the assistant Settings.

Starting on objects in the folder equipment or a selection in the worksheet

If data sheets are created on single devices in the equipment folder or in a worksheet, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:

·            Material assignments to the process connectors of the devices are listed at the top of the sheet.
