Understand how to create an event-based chart to display event context and attributes
Tutorial steps
- Create a new Event based Table Chart in the Charts tab of the config tool under the Packaging folder
- Link the Filler 1 Run event to the chart to visualize the event information
Now that you have a deployed an event in your Model, automatically collecting event periods and summarizing data from your Historian, let’s create an Event Chart to "see" this information.
Select the "Charts" tab. Create a new folder in the "Charts" tab for "Packaging". Now create a new "Event Based Table" in this folder named "Packaging Event Report" (you can do this by right-clicking on the folder) …
Double-click the new report definition to open its editor. Set the "Default Period" to start at the beginning of the Production week. Create a new Section called "Filler 1" in the Sections Tab. Drag your "Filler 1 Run" Event onto the "Filler 1" Section …
Right-click on the report, click "Tasks", "Open". Flow will open a visualization of your event report:
Notice how the structure of the visualization matches the structure of the report definition (i.e. Sections, Events and Event Attributes).
Let’s change a few properties in the report definition. Open the "Packaging Event Report" definition again.
- In the "Filler 1" Section, select the "Filler 1 Run" event and set its "Title" property to "Work Order". Set the "Identifier" to "Filler 1 Run Work Order".
Notice the differences when you refresh your visualization. The Index column has been replaced by the "Work Order" column as an identifier.
