Group Definition
One of the software capabilities that is more applicable in construction factories and construction sequence, submission priorities, management strategies, and material supplies result in our approaching a particular combination of several equipment together and simultaneously is group formation. In this section, you will be merely familiarized with group information menu; however, distinctive achievements of this capability will be elaborated on quite soon. It is necessary to mention that by the term “project” in PVManage software, we mean a set of equipment which, regardless of their coexistence in a project (as mentioned above), stand together owing to reasons dealing with construction, priority, homogeneity (concerning size, . . .).
As an example, suppose that your organization has decided to manage, due to certain reasons, 4 pressure vessels from a purchase order belonging to an owner as well as 3 heat exchangers from another project and belonging to another owner jointly as a group and handle the entire equipment subjects autonomously. In that case, apart from a project, we require a group definition. To register the group specifications, click on the related icon ( ). The respective menu in the software is as the figure below. This menu consists of three distinct pages. We will register our desirable group name in Define Group page.

We will select our desired item from a certain project in Biding Items page and will relate it to a group, whose name we have formerly defined.

We can observe the list of each group’s items in Manage Groups page and remove it from the group, if necessary.
