Menu: Context Menu with Equipment Insert Selected>Equipment Functions>Sync Equipment with Database

Default command line shortcut: SyncInsertWithDatabase

Occasionally you will make a decision that puts the data on an insert out of sync with the corresponding record in the Equipment List.

This will be manifest by an Orphaned SysName record. To remedy the error use the following steps:

1.Select the insert in the drawing that is orphaned. If you are unsure you can always start this function and if the insert matches the database you will be informed so.

2.Right-click to show the context menu.

3.Click Equipment>Sync Insert with Database.

These are the possible outcomes:

1.The insert matches the database. At which point you will be informed as such.

2.The insert partially matches the database. The SysName and Location match but other fields do not. You will be given a choice as to which record to use as the update source.

3.The insert cannot be matched with a record in the database. This results in two other options:

a. You will be given the choice to add a new record, or:

b. The database is queried for like Manufacturer and EquipmentName records from which you can select to apply to the insert. Note: only SysNames of the same Manufacturer and EquipmentName will be shown for selection.

Depending on your selection the following will happen:
