Objects

Object	Description
Name	A unique label to identify the harness design, which defaults to “MergedFormboard”, appended with an incrementing number. Enter a new name or click the ellipsis (...) button to the right of the field to select from a list of pre-specified harness design names maintained in the project’s Object Type Information in Capital Project Manager. The contents of this field are displayed in red if they are not unique within the current project. Mandatory.
Properties	Click to access the Edit Design Properties Dialog Box, to create properties to associate with the design. Optional.
Part Number	Specify a unique identifier for the merged formboard design in the database. The combination of this field and the Revision must be unique within the database; if the combination already exists, the contents of both fields are displayed in red. Mandatory.
Revision	Specifies an alpha / numeric version of the design. The combination of this field and the Part Number must be unique within the database; if the combination already exists, the contents of both fields are displayed in red. Mandatory.
Short Description	Enter a line of descriptive text to provide more information about the design. This information is displayed alongside the design Name and Revision in the Project browser. Optional.
Description	This is a free-text field into which you can enter additional comments or notes relevant to this design. Optional.
Release Level	This field is used to record the progress of a design through the stages of the harness-design life-cycle. A number of system-defined release levels are available, but you can create custom levels in Capital Project Manager (see also “Creating a Release Level for a Project” in the Capital Project Manager User Guide). Regardless of the number of custom levels available, they must correspond to one of the system-defined release levels: If no custom levels are configured, the only option available is Draft, which is selected by default. Any custom levels configured must correspond to the Draft system-defined level, so select the custom level required as dictated by your internal procedures. In either case, this is field is mandatory. Note The ability to edit the design may depend on its release level, and the behaviors assigned to that release level in Capital Project Manager.
Diagram Name	A label to identify the merged formboard diagram, which defaults to Diagram1. Enter a new name, or click the ellipsis (...) button to the right of the field to select from a list of pre-specified harness diagram names maintained in the project’s Object Type Information in Capital Project Manager. Mandatory.
Properties	Click to access the Edit Diagram Properties Dialog Box, to create properties to associate with the diagram. Optional.
Style Set	Select the style set to associate with this diagram from the dropdown list. Mandatory. See the Diagram Styling User Guide for all information on the creation and maintenance of style sets.
Full Scale Width	Check to enable the display of bundle widths at full scale, accurately representing the true width of the bundle, as calculated from the bundle diameter. Optional
