Select ROWs

Selections made in the Selected ROWs pane determine which pipeline segments' data is available for use in PCS. Data related to the selected pipeline segments can be seen in Edit [Module] Data, is available to send to the Allegro or other mobile device, and is accessible elsewhere in PCS.

If the Hierarchical Security check box is selected in the Options window (Tools > Options), the data available in PCS is further limited by the selections made for the current user in User Management. Refer to User Management for more information.

To open or close the Selected ROWs pane, click in the Selected ROWs title bar. You can also click and drag the left border.
