Layer Types	Assign Metadata for the various types of Layer objects
Assets	Assign Metadata for the various types of Assets
Virtual Assets	Create Virtual Asset objects e.g. non visible assets
Connectors	Create new connector objects
Shape Types	This is the Shape type object that can be used as metadata assignments to shapes

You can use the Search bar on top to search in any of the defined object groups. Clicking on the search funnel icon will allow you to select which object categories should be displayed in the search.

Object Commands

You can expand an object list by clicking + for e.g. Connections as shown below and it will display a list of all the current entries. For connections all the system defined connections will be displayed first, and the Information panel on the right will update accordingly:

Move - You can rearrange the tree list order by clicking a list entry and holding in the mouse button and then moving it to a different position.

Clone - Click on the "copy" icon as shown above to create a clone of the selected object with the same settings. A new entry will appear at the bottom of the list with the "- clone" postfix to the original object name.

Delete - You can delete a selected object by clicking on the trashcan icon. A dialog box will prompt you to confirm as this action in not reversible

Create New Object

To create a new object you click on the Create New Object button which will the display the list of the supported object types as shown here:

Then select the object type you want to create from the list. This will generate a new entry in the corresponding object category.

Connections Settings

This allows you to modify or create new default connection types for any new projects created for your corporate account. All users can also add project specific connection types on a per project basis afterwards.

To modify an existing connection, you can change the connection Name, Symbol, Width, MBR, Category, Allowed Connection Type, Color, Loopback, Dashed and Obsolete properties.

ID - This is the unique system ID assigned to the new connection type. Note! This is not changeable.

The connection properties you can change are as follows:

• Name - Type in the desired name of your connection type.

• Symbol - Type in the symbol designation for the connection e.g. GI for gas injection.

• Width - Specify the width of the connection. Valid inputs between 0,1 and 2.

• MBR - If you will be using the Bend Radius design tool you can specify a default bend value radius here. You can also lock this value by cliking on the small padlock icon at the right hand side of the input field. Click again to unlock it.

• Category - Select the category of your connection e.g. Umbilical, Production, Water Injection, etc.

• Allowed Connection Type - Select the connection type for your connection from the drop down list e.g. Riser, Jumper, Straight, etc.

• Color - Use the color picker dialog to select a new color for your connection.

• Loopback - Check this is the connection type should allow itself to be connected back to itself.

• Dashed - Check this is you want the connection drawn as a dashed line.

• Obsolete - Check this box if this connection type is now obsolete. If you click on the "Refresh Obsolete Connection Warnings" button then all projects using this connection type will have this flagged visually as an obsolete connection.

Clone - You can clone a Connection Type by clicking on the clone icon.

Delete Connection Type - Press the trash can icon to delete the created Connection. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.

MetaData - This section allows you to search and assign the available metadata definitions to the connection type. See the Meta data section for more information.

Connection Segments Types

You can now define “Segments” on a connection meaning that it can be comprised of multiple segments. This can be used to e.g. assign various segments of a connection for rock dumping, trenching, or if a connection is assembled with different types/materials e.g. parts of a mooring line could be chain etc. In this screen you can define various segment types and assign metadata to them.

After creating a new object of Connection Segments Types you can set/change the following:

MetaData - This section allows you to search and assign the available metadata definitions to the connection segment type. See the Meta data section for more information.

Connection Types

This allows you to define or edit Connection Types or connection systems if you will. By default, the following connection types or systems are defined:

• Riser – Lazy Wave - This is formula based lazy wave calculation.
• Riser - Catenary - This is a formula based catenary calculation.
• Riser - Taut - This is a formula based catenary calculation.

• Jumper – Vertical N

The default types also have a predefined “Render As” option e.g. how the connection will be represented graphically on stage.

After creating a new object of Connection Type you can set/change the following:

• ID - This is the unique system ID assigned to this object. Note! This is not changeable.

• Name - Type in the name for your new connection type.

• Render As - Select how it should be rendered on stage by selecting from the drop down list. Standard is the default render type e.g. rendered as a classical connection.

Clone - You can clone a selected Connection Type by clicking on the clone icon.

Delete - If you are the account Admin you can delete a connection type by clicking on the thrashcan icon. Other users will not see this option. A dialog will appear and prompt you to confirm the delete action as this cannot be undone.

To learn more about how to use the available Connection Types and their respective parameter settings please see the Connection Types section for more information.

By creating a new Connection Type or system you can then use it to discriminate metadata when creating new meta data types for “Connections”. See the Meta data section for more information.
