Taking into consideration the large number of sprinkler heads available, we decided not to clutter up the database and avoided predefining most of them. This means that you will often run an AutoList and find that the Miscellaneous tab in HydraLIST has a number of yellow highlighted head entries without a description. That is because the part number for those heads does not exist.
The printed instructions for this process can be found in the HydraLIST Manual on page 2-75. We will summarize below:
Steps
Go through all the usual steps to properly set up your sprinklers in the drawing, including choosing the part number.

This time, you will have the option to add the head to the database, after you pick the Collect Selected Head Data button
You will see a series of two dialog boxes. Answer in the affirmative
The part will be added to the database and ready to use as well as the long description
This will take care of individual sprinkler types. To build part numbers for all heads of a specific manufacturer, you can use the HydraLIST database Import function
To share with others and distribute around the office: Copy the \HES\Hydlist\Ver50\Data\Setup folder from computer to computer, or copy just these two files:
