Additional Data Fields

[BearLeader67]

I have an AT_INST_ datasheet. When I open it and select the button to see the database fields I have the following selections in the left pane.

DOC_REG
INSTR
VIEW-(AT_INST_)
EXT-DATA
STREAM
PROJECT-INI

The problem is that I need the following fields to be linked to my datasheet.

PIPE_RUN.PSZ
PROCESS.PSERV
PIPE_RUN.PSPEC
PROCESS.PINS

However these fields do not exist in any of the selections in the database fields pane. If I enter a "named range" like _PSZ then it says I have a bad token. I don't want this in EXT_Data because it already exists in the database and I want to pull it into my datasheet.

Any ideas?

You could choose the edit the views in Project Administrator. These views will have the available fields that you can use in your datasheets. If you need more that this is were you begin.

One advice please avoid using fieldnames like 'name' and 'type' or other common terms that could be used either by Excel od ACAD.

Ok, yes, I found that and I was able to create the view that I wanted. However when I went to save it I got a pop-up that said a view using those fields had already been created and if I continued then I would break that view.

There is an AT_PIPERUN and an AT_PROCESS view that use some of the same database fields. The fields that I stated above that I need are in those two views. So I was wondering if anyone else had successfully modified an AT_(NAME) view without breaking one or more of the original views as the popup seemed to suggest would happen.

What Project administartor usualy tells me is that other (all autoPlant) programms use these views and therefore ypu should be carefull with making changes to these.
