Equipment Templates: Parameters

The template (XML) file needs to contain a parameter section that defines the equipment type parameter. Other parameters can be added within this node as needed. Refer to the advanced section below or the 'TagGen' help topic in the product help for additional information.

The parameter string is used to define the template type name that is referenced in other parts of the template file. To use the example below, replace:

• [Type] with the name of your equipment type.

This should be unique across the templates used in your project(s). It needs to match the value specified in the name field of the record that defines the template type in the project.

• [TypeRef] with an abbreviation (if required) of the type name.

This is recommended to be less than 16 chars. When using an abbreviation, it should follow the same rules as the type name, such that it has to be unique across the templates used in your project(s).

Example

  <param name="type" desc="equipment type parameters">
    <string name="name">[Type]</string>
    <string name="ref">[TypeRef]</string>
  </param>
