3.3.2.2 Information on editing parameters
When entering the properties of a new standard table entry, please note the following points:
● "Name" field:
The entries in a standard table are listed in the PipeSpec Designer and in the properties of
the engineering and base objects sorted by the values entered in the "Name" field.
● "Description" field
– A user who expands a list stored with this standard table in the interface sees the texts
entered in the "Description" fields.
– If the standard table contains standards: Enter the name of the standard as a long text
and use a "-" to separate the name of the standard and the descriptive text.
Example: "DIN 3754/T1-It Plates for Gaskets"
● Field "Value 3"
– If the standard table is assigned to an attribute which implements the "GetDisplayValue"
script block as it is preconfigured in the database, the user sees the value entered in
the "Value 3" field in the interface.
– If the standard table contains standards: Enter the name of the standard as a short text
in the "Value 3" column.
Example: "DIN 3754/T1"
Expand the standard tables by adding additional characteristics, if necessary. See also chapter
Creating a new parameter (Page 18).
You can find additional information on this topic in the "COMOS Platform Administration"
manual, keyword "Creating or editing standard tables".

– "Standard tables > Y10 > M20 > Y30 > A10 > 10 ANSI/ASME"
You can find additional information on this topic in the "COMOS Platform Administration"
