EQIS V3 Work Process

Process, Systems, Environmental, Electrical
Groups Seed EQIS using:
EQIS Excel Import Template
Equipment Tag Convention

Project Engineering Maintains EQIS

Equipment Engineers Upload Equipment
Attributes from DataSheets or Excel Files
PDS Designers Upload P&ID and TOSTR
Numbers

EQIS Equipment Attribute

Datasheet Import
Equipment Tag must be in EQIS
Datasheets can be copied into any
workspace
Datasheets are filled in as usual
Completed datasheets are saved anywhere
Batch Upload can be planned if datasheet
files saved as DS-Item.xls files

EQIS Equipment Attribute

Datasheet Import
Engineers activate a program to read
attributes from datasheet file or files to the
R:\Jxxxx\EQISDATA directory as a *.txt
file
One *.txt file is created each day and
labeled by date
All datasheets from the same day update to
the same *.txt file

EQIS Equipment Attribute

Datasheet Import
In EQIS the data is Uploaded from the
dated *.txt files
Attributes are assigned to first ItemNumber
of a Datasheet
LikeTag Attribute automatically populates
the datasheet data to other identical
Equipment Tags

Equipment Tag Naming

Convention
Equipment Tag is Unique for each item
Parent Tag is only entered when subordinate
child tags are to be added
Any alpha numeric characters can be used,
including hyphen and underscore
Forward slash "/", comma and space cannot
be used in Tag Number (Item Number)
