Crossings Workflow

Selecting Existing Case will allow the user to select existing cases from PLTB – Pipeline Crossing (Liquid & Gas) modules via dropdown. When this is selected, equipment, pipe, and soil characteristics data is loaded which can be edited, saved, and calculated in the new linked workflow.

1. To create a new workflow based on existing cases, Open Workflow – Pipeline Crossing from the blue ribbon and select the Existing Cases radio button.
   
2. Click on “Add New Row” icon (blue plus icon) beside “Module” in the Linked Cases section to add a row to select a module from the drop-down.
   
3. The drop-down shows all available/supported PLTB Pipeline Crossing (Liquid & Gas) modules that can be added (Figure 1), while the Linked Case drop-down shows all available cases within any given module selection (Figure 2). Note that once both a Module and Linked Case are selected, the pre-existing case data will pre-populate the Existing Case workflow.
