Text Only Rule

Text Only Rules are able to be created for the times that the rule can not easily be performed on the P&ID but you would like a record of the decision taken or that there has been a consideration for the requirement. Text Only rules have no Rules within them and are just placeholders for text.

The Main section of the Text Only Rule displays a large editable text area for you to enter the rule details.

Selecting Include Modifier adds a new Tab to the Rule Details allowing you to specify a rule which must Pass in order for the main rule to run in your plant configuration. This helps ensure that Text Only Rules appear only in the instances that you require the Rule Evaluator to specify if a particular action has been considered pertaining to the Text Only Rule. Rule Modifiers are added in the same way as Creating Rule Items

Select Close to commit the rule.

When a rule is closed Hazid Integrity will verify that the rule items are correct and all information is completed.
