Integrated or Standalone Instrument Index Tutorial

WHAT IS AN INTEGRATED INSTRUMENT INDEX?

An Integrated Instrument Index (database) is a single file and user interface which consolidates (several data sources) into a single more effective or coherent whole, designed to meet the data management requirements of multiple stakeholders over the consecutive and interlinked stages of instrument devices or functions.

The terminology “Integrated” in this context, generally implies software automated work processes that automatically manage data entry or copying of major portions of the data to ensure completeness and accuracy between a work process data entry source and the content of the instrument index file.

Specification Form Integrated Data

About 104 fields are automatically copied to an Excel Instrument Index Data table, whenever a specification document is saved. These data fields are grouped by the following:

  • 11 Document Identifications
  •   8 Administrative Identifications
  • 12 Service Identifications
  • 13 Safety Classifications
  • 14 Component Design Criteria
  •    7 Modeling Physical Data
  •    8 Calibration and Test
  •    3 Component Identifications

Manual Data Entry of Instrument Index Data

About 56 additional manual data entry properties can be managed in the Instrument Index Data table:

  •  4 Location Properties
  •  6 Additional Loop or Tag Properties
  • 23 Milestones and Status
  •  6 Procurement Properties
  • 16 Drawing References
  •   5 System Properties

Custom Views of Instrument Index Data

Seventeen basic custom views of the Instrument Index Data are provided and can be added to and configured:

  • All Components UserForm
  • Additional Loop or Tag Properties
  • Administrative Identifications
  • Calibration Data
  • Component Design Criteria
  • Component Identification
  • Document Identification
  • Drawing References
  • Instrument Index Report Testing
  • Instrument Specification Form Data
  • Manual Data Entry of Index
  • Milestones and Status
  • Modeling Physical Data
  • Normal View (All for design)
  • Process Data Comparison
  • Process Specification Form Operating Parameters
  • Procurement Properties
  • Safety Classifications
  • System Properties
