Flange-FLOCs can be created in two ways:
Single Creation (user interface); or
Multiple Creation (import wizard – bulk upload). See below.
Creating Individual Flange-FLOCs
There are several places in the user interface from where you can create a single new Flange-FLOC. See the table below to learn where to create a new Flange-FLOC from:
Section | Screenshot |
|---|---|
FLOC main grid (Header bar) |
|
FLOC details page for a Level 4 FLOC:
The FLOC from which you create the Flange-FLOC will be the Parent FLOC (FLOC 1). |
|
To create the Flange-FLOC:
Click + to create a new Flange-FLOC.
Enter the required data in the pop-up window. See the table below. Note: Fields in yellow are mandatory and fields in blue are recommended.
Click Save when done.
Note: When a Flange-FLOC is created, IMS recognizes which Locations and Equipment are connected with the Flange, but most of the specifications are not inherited from the Equipment that it is connected to. Only Operating Temperature and Pipe Size is inherited. The specifications for the Flange connection must be entered manually.
Flange-FLOC pop-up fields:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
FLOC 1 | Parent FLOC (typically a Level 4 FLOC) |
FLOC 2 | First connecting FLOC. This is optional. |
Hierarchy | Automatically filled in based on FLOC 1. |
FLOC Connection ID | Name of Flange-FLOC. Note: When the FLOC 1 is selected, the FLOC Connection ID is auto generated by taking the name of the FLOC 1 and adding “-FC-00” suffix. Add a number at the end of the name or change the ID |
FLOC Description | Enter a description for the Flange-FLOC. |
Location Type | Automatically filled in based on FLOC 1. |
Equipment groups | Automatically filled in based on FLOC 1. |
Startup Date | Click in field and select a date. |
Flange 1 | Description of Flange-FLOC 1, e.g. pipe side or equipment side. |
Flange 2 | Description of Flange-FLOC 2. |
Active | By default, set Active. |
Critical Joint | Check to set critical. Note: Critical joints require hydraulic tensioning or controlled bolt torquing with new studs and nuts. See Critical Joints for more information. |
Unique Design | Check if it is unique. |
Bad Actor | Check if applicable. |
Batch Importing Flange-FLOCs
To import multiple Flange-FLOCs:
Go to Settings \ Data Transfer \ Import Data.
Download the Flange-FLOC Template.
Fill in the Template (yellow fields are mandatory).
Browse for your filled-in Template to import.

Click Next and follow the prompts to import your Flange-FLOCs.
Note: Similarly, you can also use Settings \ Data Transfer to import attachments.
