CMT Noun - Modifier Settings

CAPS Group - CMT Schema Group relationship

The relationship between CAPS Group and CMT Schema Group is defined in Maintenance → CAPS Common Data → Component Groups. Defined there are the Component Group and Product Group Tables.

Setup for Short Name Characters

The following sections describe the proces of setting up CAPS2025 to assign the appropriate characters to the Short Name.

Short Name characters 1 and 2

Depending on the Schema, Character 2 can be defined in two ways:

1. Format (Noun_modifier) table.

2. Format Position Character Value Table and Format Position, Character Value and Character Type Item.  

Note

Only one product group assigned to a Noun_Modifier can define a Short name and Application code schema if configured in Settings / Maintenance / CMT Common Data / Short Name Position Sequence.

Users can choose which one to configure and use as a schema, and users can even create a generic one. Using the same product group for the same component group is essential.

Short Name Characters 3, 4 and 5

Characters 3,4, and 5 are defined in the Format Position Character Value table and Format Position, Character Value and Character Type Item table.

Setup for Application Code Characters

Characters 1 - 8 of the Application Code (Characters 8-16 of CAPS Code) are defined in format Position Character Value table and Format Position, Character Value and Character Type Item table.

Setup of Specific Characters for Short Name and Application Codes

The sequence for a particular attribute/spec must be defined in the Short Name Position Sequence table. After that, the value setup via the main Format table can be config in two ways:

1. A character can be defined by one or more Attribute/Spec.

2. One or more possible values can define one Attribute/Spec.

Application Code Character Settings

The number of characters used to construct the Application Code can be modified on a site-by-site basis through CAPS2025’s settings. Typically, use 11 characters for an application code and all other components use 4 characters, however, any component group can be allowed to use 11 characters.

To change the required number of characters for an Application Code from 4 to 11:

• Open the Settings Menu by clicking  Settings at the top of your main screen.

• Navigate to Maintenance → Configuration → Application Settings.

• Click on the Edit icon to open  Valve configuration per company application setting.

• Click JSON to open the JSON editor.

• Click +. A new blank row will be added to the list of objects.

• Enter the Company Code (see Settings → Maintenance → Common Data → Companies to find Company Codes) in the first field and the Component Group code (e.g. VS for valves) in the second field.

• Click Save and Close.

Following this, any Application Codes entered for components under those selected companies will require 11 characters instead of 4.
