Technical Specifications
• TASK WORKFLOW. Manage single tasks or
entire chain of events with manual execution,
automatic execution (state transition) and
conditional execution.
• ADVANCED CONFIGURATOR. Easy to use
configurator for either separate or standalone installation. Settings are stored in Vault so
there’s no need for additional distribution or
backup. GUI-based; no more ini-files.
• SECONDARY FILE GENERATION. Generate
all required formats automatically with configuration options for each of the supported formats: PDF, Step, Sat, DXF, AutoCAD
DWG, and DWF/DWFx. Advanced naming of
files available to meet internal requirements.
Secondary files can be stored in Vault as well
as outside the Vault, on a computer or server.
• PROPERTY CARD. Easy set up for property
handling in vault that handles different categories and file extensions.
• DATA EXPORT. Automatic export can be
performed directly from Vault, based on state
changes in Vault. Both a work server and the
client for export and conditional generation
is supported with the formats XML (xslt), CSV
and SQL.
• MANAGE THE JOB QUEUE. With JobQTool,
a separate installation, you can get control on
all jobs and send e-mails when job fails; handle
stale and pending jobs; reboot the job processor and maintain job processor stability.
26
• CUSTOMIZE SOLUTIONS. Integrate your own
custom solutions or Cad-Qs suggested ideas
into the standard work flow. The solutions are
.NET compatible. Examples of solutions are
Snaps into Naviate Vault to low overhead cost;
Drawing List to collect project’s drawings for
reports, etc. and the function ‘Publish Original
File’.
• DIGITAL SIGNING. The Property Update functionality allows you to update properties on
files. Set a signature and time stamp or put a
water mark on your drawing.
Get Up To Speed Faster
– with Naviate Power & Process
FREE-UP MORE TIME for the actual
design work when you are working
with process installations. Naviate
Power & Process helps you prepare the documentation you need with
bult-in adaptations to local standards
and norms. Everything is set up to
work in an integrated fashion throughout the design and manufacturing
process.
• ONE ISO DRAWING. Function for joining all
ISO’s on one pipeline into one drawing with
several layouts.
• PROPERTY MANAGER. Interface for creating
tabbed property dialogs and possibly to select and sort properties in each tab.
• PROPERTY TRIGGER. Function for automatic
and manual update of properties on selected
components.
• GENERAL ELEVATION ANNOTATION.
Function for setting actual elevation on pipes
and components.
• PLANT LINK. When creating a drawing with
AutoCAD P&ID or a 3D model with AutoCAD
Plant 3D, data is added to the underlying
SQLite database. PlantLink offers the capability of extending the information in this underlying database, by connecting AutoCAD P&ID
or AutoCAD Plant 3D to any existing external
database.
Naviate Power and Process adaptation is based on the ISO standard,
but it has also been supplemented
with local standards as SSG, PSK
and NORSOK. These adaptations
mean that the work can proceed
more quickly, while reducing the
risk for errors. Another simplifying
adaptation has been introduced
for pipe lines. The design data for
pipe lines has been supplemented
so that data in the pipe lists and in
isometrics are complete.
• COORDINATES. With the Coordinates function, users can add additional data properties
to each symbol that carries a configurable
grid location. These grid location values can
be used in reports and make it easier to locate
each object on its drawing.
• IMPORT AND EXPORT TO EXCEL. Import/
Export Selection Lists function reduces time
for P&ID administration.
• UPDATE TAGS/ACQUISITION RULES. Update
tags and acquisitions within your drawing or
the whole project by the click of a button.

ISO´s and BOM for pulled pipes and slurry
hoses.
• RENAME AND COPY PROJECT. Copy the entire project to a new project, where it can be
renamed and reused to begin a new project
without losing any data or connectivity.
• ASSEMBLIES. Joins components to modules. All components acquire the same module
data.

the business process inefficiencies
in co-operation between engineering, sales, production and aftersales
operations.
Per Benkowski, CTO, Scandinova Systems AB, Sweden
POOR PRODUCT data quality, administrative burden for
maintaining information in multiple systems, long lead times,
non-working distributed collaboration with partners and
increased costs are typical indicators of inefficiency (i.e.
waste).

A Smarter Way
– of Monitoring, Managing and Analysing Software Licenses
DO YOU KNOW your license need?
The need for streamlining the operations, optimized mobility company
resources is challenges we all can
relate to. Through different solutions
for licenses such as desktop and mobile licenses and projects where usage
rapidly change the usage of licenses,
the need for an overall control and
cost estimation is crucial.
CQFLEXMON CAN SUPPORT you
in the cost and need estimations for
future invenstments. You can produce statistics on the number of hours a
user or department has used a certain
type of license, and get a summary of
any time perios. The integrated debit module allows you to ensure a fair
allocation of the licence costs. There is
also a module that shows all borrowed
licences. To facilitate the administration of user details, you can retrieve this information directly from the
ActiveDirectory database, providing
your company uses this option.

CQFlexMon consists of separate
modules that can be customised
together into a solution to meet
the company’s needs
• LICENSE MONITOR. An overview of the company’s available network licence. Colour codes
give a quick overview on the overall utilisation
of licenses.
• LICENSE USAGE. The actual utilisation rate
for all licences (instantaneous, min, max and
average) for any period of time.
• LICENSE DEBIT. Calculate the costs for utilisation of licenses for any period of time.
• LICENSE BORROW. An overview of borrowed licences (by who, how long and when the
licence will be available again).
• LICENSE CONTROL. Manage who can access
different software, reserve licenses and lock
licenses for lending for a chosen time frame.
• LICENSE MULTIFLEX. Calculations according
to different license models NLM, MultiFlex or
Token based.
• ACTIVE DIRECTORY SYNC. Simple maintenance of user details through synchronising
with Active Directory.
• ADD SERVERS. Gather information from
