Creating Flowsheets (Overview)

The functionality of the CP Console allows you to create flowsheet views and flowsheet totals, which you assemble into your individualized flowsheets to meet your site-specific requirements. Although the order in which you create the parts of a Flowsheet is not critical (you may use some default flowsheet views and totals supplied with Flowsheets), you must have the following components to create a Flowsheet.

The general workflow for a creating a Flowsheet follows.

  1. Design your flowsheet to meet the needs of your facility and unit. You may use an existing paper flowsheet as a model if you wish.

  2. Find or create the flowsheet views with the data you need for your Flowsheet.

  3. Find or create the flowsheet totals you need for your Flowsheet.

  4. Create your Flowsheet.

  5. You can go back and change the Flowsheet at any time.

Note: Not all users have permissions to create or edit Flowsheets. Refer to section 1.2.4, “Permissions” for more information.
