Explanation

This is the main Equipment List of all SysNames in the project. You can edit and ripple your changes from here.

This grid contains a Visualizer that lets you see the data in graphical form. The Visualizer associated with this grid will create a system snapshot of the selected SysName.

Item	Description
Search	Search the collection for the search term.
Find All	Clear the search field and return all records.
Ripple List	Changes you have made that may need to be rippled across the drawing set. The ripple will occur after you save the grid to the database. Note: you do not need to ripple changes that do not appear in a drawing. For example if you change the Cable Type Manu and Cable Type fields, neither of those fields have a corresponding display in a drawing. So no ripple is required to keep the drawing in sync with the database. If you are unsure - ripple.

Tools
Attach Document	Any document can be attached to any record. This is useful for storing cut-sheet data, test data, and images.
Slurp Locations	Collect all location data from the Equipment list and populate the Locations table with it.
