Children¶
The Children pane is new functionality initially introduced in v6. The Children pane allows the user to display asset information data in a flat table for multiple assets. The data grid is non-editable, but can be exported to Excel, Text or CSV.
Caution
If you elect to view complicated AIG forms which contain complex calculations and references, then the data grid may take several minutes to load. This will depend on the complexity of AIG forms and the number of assets to view.
Unlike other toolbars, the Children toolbar does not provide any editing capabilities, just filtering and navigation options.
- This is shared functionality refer to Export for a full feature description.
- This menu lists all Asset Information Groups which are assigned to the Asset Types of the visible assets in the grid. Check and uncheck which AIG groups to view in the data grid.
- This menu item has a drop down list with two options to select.either in the “up” state or “down” state. When “down”, the children grid displays only the direct descendants of the currently selected asset (one level of the hierarchy only). When in the “up” state, the grid will display all children of the currently selected asset (multiple levels of the hierarchy).
- This menu item will display all children of the currently selected asset (multiple levels of the hierarchy) if it is selected.
- This menu item will display the selected asset and its direct descendants if it is selected, if it is not slected, the grid will only show the direct descendants without the selected asset in the hierarchy.
- This menu item will change the active asset in the Asset hierarchy to the currently selected asset in the data grid. By navigating to a different asset in the hierarchy, this will also update the contents of data grid.
