Pipe (Collection) Data Fields

Information relating to a Pipe can be viewed and edited on the Pipe Grid Window of the Asset Grid or on the Pipe Property Sheet.

Most data can be edited on the grid, but some fields cannot be displayed in the grid format.

To view and edit all pipe data, use the Property Sheet.

The following describes all the data which can be used to define a pipe.
