You can access the Points setting in the Control Panel to add and manage Points.

A Point is a concept in SI that allows you to add a designation of the action needed, such as tuning or programming required, or "functionality" to an input or output of a product.

You can associate labor with a point to specify the labor hours needed for the action or expected functionality of the product. The product's point data will be stored at the project level and can be displayed on schematic pages in Visio.

To access the Points setting, click the following icon.

This will open the following form.

You can add as many new points as you would like to.

To add a new point:

1/ First, select Enable Points and enable the Points functionality.

2/ Click New.

3/ Add a name and abbreviation for the points. The default abbreviation is the first ten characters of the name.

4/ Add labor hours. This is optional.

5/ Click Save.

6/ You can also select a default labor item for the points added in the future.

You can assign points to products when updating them in Product Explorer or editing them in Project Editor.

When you drag products with associated points to a schematic page in Visio, the points will display next to the I/O on the shape.

When points are enabled, the Schematic (with Points) shape will be used vs. the Schematic shape.

A yellow handle allows you to resize the surrounding box to accommodate the length of your text. This handle applies to all Points on each side of the shape.

If you want to change the fill color or text color of the ports or points, right-click the shape and select Subselect Ports.

You must first click so that the port is selected.

You can then select the associated point.

You can then change the fill and text color for the point.

When the port is selected, you can also change the fill and text color, regardless of whether it has a point.

SI Wire Shapes connect directly to the point vs the port.

An installation report named Points displays points. You can always create custom reports.
