Importing/exporting product definitions
Product definitions can be imported or exported. Importing allows the use of
product definitions previously defined, while exporting provides a backup of the
product definitions. All files for importing and exporting are comma-delimited text
files (*.csv).
Strings
User-defined strings are messages that may be used in the Operate program.
These strings, or messages, can be used to instruct an operator to perform a
specific task. FuelsManager provides the user the ability to create User-defined
string types that may be assigned to Input and Output points.
For example, if an alarm becomes active, a message may be displayed instructing
the operator to close a valve. User-defined strings can also be used to display
advisory messages concerning equipment status. For example, a User-defined
string may be used to display Client Names, Client Document Numbers, and
Destinations.
The string appears as a data format type in the database. The User-defined
strings are added to the bottom of the data format list. In the list, the first string
type label is “USER0”. Each additional string type is labeled “USER1”, “USER2”,
etc. The string type name appears next to the label.
There are no standard FuelsManager strings. All strings are user-defined.
FuelsManager allows up to 16 unique User-defined string types.
