Two columns on the left of the worksheet provide equipment options.  The left column is for Equipment Categories (colored icons) and the right column is the Equipment in that category (black and white icons) that can be used on the worksheet.  When you select a category, the available equipment will appear on the right.

    The mouse pointer will change to a hand.

ClosedCut, Copy, Paste, Undo Features

AggFlow DM allows individual or multiple selections of Cut, Copy and Paste within a worksheet, to pages and stages, and to other worksheets. When equipment is copied and pasted, the setup for that equipment is also copied and pasted. If a second piece of equipment is needed or even a duplicate flow sheet, copy and paste can be used to replicate equipment in the worksheet or on another page, stage or worksheet.

ClosedCustom Text and Machine ID's

Assign custom text and Machine ID's to equipment to identify equipment in reports, and in results. Assigning equipment ID provides unique naming for modes reports, manage modes, configuration advisor and for printing reports.

Custom text and Equipment ID's are attached to the equipment and will move and copy/pasted with the equipment. Equipment ID's can be used to reflect the actual identification system used in the field.

Equipment ID's are also useful for other modules that will be added to Manage Projects.

 

Only the black and white icons in the right column can be placed on the worksheet.  It is possible to add, delete or move (select and drag) equipment on the worksheet at any time.
