5.13.6.  Batch classification of projects

[Note] Note

The function Batch classification of projects described here and the function Add projects to classification have some similarities.

  • Add projects to classification:

    • Full overview on ALL classes and attributes

    • Attributes may reference a Variable or a Value or contain a Reference to another class

    • Takeover of classification information from other classifications or parameters

  • Batch classification of projects:

    • Display of the most important classes and attributes

    • Detection and display of unassigned projects

    • Listing of variables with respective number of hits of projects which are potentially available

    • Setting and deleting of assignments

Use the respective method for your desired purpose.

Using the plugin Batch classification of projects (in older versions plugin "Modify order number and type code"), you can successively assign the desired variable for a selected class attribute to projects.

You select a variable. The plugin runs through the whole structure and assigns the classification to all projects containing the variable.

Afterwards a listing will show for which projects the assignment has been successful and for which not. In a next step now you can use another variable for assigning as long as all projects are classified accordingly.

Precondition

The files attribute_classification.cfg, attribute_classification.def and attribute_classification.vbb have to be available in the plugin directory ($CADENAS/libs/all/plugins).[53]

Process

  1. In PARTproject, under Project selection, select the desired directory level (catalog root or any other directory) and then start the plugin under Automation -> Batch classification of projects.

    Batch classification of projects

    Batch classification of projects

    -> The dialog box Attribute Classification is opened.

  2. In a group, under the desired class attribute (here in this example Order number), select the row Unclassified.

  3. Under Set variables, open the list field and select that variable containing the respective value according to the above selected class attribute (here "ARTNO").

    The number in brackets identifies the amount of projects which contain the variable. If the number of projects is very big so that it cannot be detected within 5 seconds, no value is displayed.

  4. Confirm by clicking Apply.

    -> All projects containing the set variable are classified accordingly. (The process of assigning may last a moment.)

    In this example, now the status light is showing yellow, because not all projects could be classified (because the column "ARTNO" has not been available or another variable does contain the article number or it's about a link project).

    [Tip] Tip

    Double-click on a project will open it in PARTdataManager. In this way afterwards it can also be opened in PARTproject.

    34 of 37 projects have been classified.

    34 of 37 projects have been classified.

    -> The variable is automatically entered in the field Variable with order number and in the dialog Class variables.

    Edit project -> tabbed page General -> menu item General -> Variables -> Variable with order number

    Edit project -> tabbed page General -> menu item General -> Variables -> Variable with order number

    Edit project -> tabbed page General -> menu item Classification -> Attributes (CNS) -> dialog Class variables

    Edit project -> tabbed page General -> menu item Classification -> Attributes (CNS) -> dialog Class variables

  5. For the projects not yet assigned, now select another variable and again click on Apply.

    Once all projects found for the selected class attribute are classified, the status light becomes green.

Configuration

In the configuration file attribute_classification.cfg, the dialog can be adjusted:

  • By default, the CNS classification is shown. Adding other classifications is possible (see below).

  • Adjustment of group names and value names

  • Adding, deleting of any attributes

Batch classification of projects

Batch classification of projects

Enhance dialog for other classifications

For this, under "TABS" enter a further classification separated by comma and create a block with the same name.

[COMMON]
#TABS=CNSERPBASE,CNSPHYPROP,CNSSPECPROPARC
TABS=CNS,IFC4
ANALYSIS=Common Classes / Material Masterdata,CNSORDERNO,CNSTYPECODE,- Analysis -

[CNS]
CNSORDERNO=CNSERPBASE,Common Classes / Material Masterdata,Order number
CNSTYPECODE=CNSERPBASE,Common Classes / Material Masterdata,Typecode
...
...
[IFC4]
IFC4_IFCADDRESSTYPEENUM=IFC4_IFCADDRESS,Gruppenname1,Wert1
IFC4_IFCTEXT=IFC4_IFCADDRESS,Gruppenname2,Wert2
IFC4_IFCLABEL=IFC4_IFCADDRESS,Gruppenname3,Wert3

Special function "Analysis"

In the group - Analysis -, there will be a special evaluation over the whole classification for the attributes ORDERNO (Order number) and TYPECODE (Typecode).

[Note] Note

Each project must have classified at least one of the two and not the same variable may be used.

  • No classification -> Error "Not defined"

  • Classification of ORDERNO and TYPECODE by the same variable -> Error "Double defined"

If no errors are found, the point - Analysis - will not be displayed.

Example:

Example:

Distinction of cases:

ORDERNO empty
TYPCODE empty 
 Error,“Not defined“

ORDERNO on column BESTNR
TYPECODE empty 
 Ok

ORDERNO empty
TYPECODE on column CODE
 Ok

ORDERNO on column BESTNR
TYPECODE on column CODE
 Ok

ORDERNO on column BESTNR
TYPECODE on column BESTNR
 Error, „Double defined“


[53] As of V11 SP9 this is the case.
