Bentley Feature Renaming

Introduction​

The collected data for feature names are code-based. Configure bentley_feature_rename.map to rename Bentley features. The new feature names will be visible in the historical reports.

warning

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT Core Server.

Configuring bentley_feature_rename.map​

  1. Open bentley_feature_rename.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify the Bentley feature to rename with the following syntax:

    Mapping Syntax
    MAP: <NewFeatureName> 
    <OldFeatureName1>

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to Optimizing Rules to Speed Up Rename or Mapping.

    In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'BentleyFeature' and 'bentleyfeature', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

    Example
    MAP: MicroStation
    1000

    This example renames all of the 1000 features to MicroStation.

    You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.

  3. Save the changes.

This mapping may affect the following data types:
