Select the “Create Formula” link under the “Formula Builder” business component.
The “Create Formula” page appears.
Enter the following fields:
|
Formula |
A unique identifier for the formula (Alphanumeric, 30). Mandatory. |
|
Enter the description of the formula in the edit box alongside (Alphanumeric, 150). | |
|
Zoom facility available. | |
|
Status |
Use the drop-down list box to assign a status to the formula. The system provides the options “Active” and “Inactive”. Set the field to “Inactive”, if you wish to disable the formula from any future reference in other activities. The system displays “Active”, by default. |
|
Formula Content |
The content of the formula (Alphanumeric, 255). Mandatory. You can enter the formula content directly, or build the formula by transferring the parameters along with the inspection points from the multiline. |
To search for a parameter
Enter the following fields in the “Search Criteria” group box, to search for the parameter to be included in the formula:
|
Parameter |
The parameter that must be included in the formula (Alphanumeric, 30). You can enter the parameter in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all parameters similar to the parameter entered here. |
|
Type |
Use the drop-down list box to specify the type of the parameter. The system provides the options “Range” and “Consumption”. Leave the field blank to retrieve all parameters, which belong to both “Range” and “Consumption”. The system leaves the field blank, by default. |
|
Desc. |
The description of the parameter (Alphanumeric, 150). You can enter the description in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all parameters with description similar to the description entered here. |
Click the “Search” pushbutton to search for the parameter.
The system retrieves the following fields in the “Search Results Parameter” multiline:
|
Parameter |
The parameter retrieved by the system. |
|
Type |
The type of the parameter, which can be “Range”, or “Consumption”. |
|
Desc. |
The description of the parameter. |
Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline, to select the parameter to be included in the formula.
Click the “Transfer Parameter” pushbutton, to transfer the selected parameter to the “Formula Content” field.
Provide a valid mathematical operator in the “Formula Content” field.
To search for an inspection point
Enter the following fields in the “Search Criteria” group box, to search for an inspection point:
|
Inspection Point |
The inspection point that must be included in the formula (Alphanumeric, 30). You can enter the inspection point in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all inspection points similar to the inspection point entered here. |
|
Desc. |
The description of the inspection point (Alphanumeric, 150). You can enter the description in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all inspection points with similar description. |
Click the “Search” pushbutton.
The system retrieves the following fields in the “Search Results Inspection Points” multiline:
|
Inspection Point |
The inspection point retrieved by the system. |
|
Desc. |
The description of the inspection point. |
Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline, to select the inspection point to be included in the formula.
The following must be borne in mind before transferring an inspection point:
An inspection point can be used only along with a parameter in a formula.
An inspection point cannot be referred independently in a formula.
An inspection point can be transferred only for a range parameter.
Click the “Transfer Inspection Point” pushbutton, to transfer the selected inspection point to the “Formula Content” field.
Note: The system transfers the inspection point and appends it to the preceding parameter with “@” symbol. This indicates that the parameter value at the specific inspection point must be used in the formula for calculation purposes.
Click the “Create” pushbutton to create the formula.
The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:
|
Created By |
The login ID of the user who created the formula. |
|
Created Date |
The date and time at which the formula was created. |
|
Last Modified By |
The login ID of the user who last modified the formula. |
|
Last Modified Date |
The date and time at which the formula was last modified. |
Create Parameter activity of the “Equipment Induction” business component. Parameters of type “Range” or “Consumption” must have been defined.
Activate or inactivate a formula
Refer to parameters at specific inspection points, in the formula
Activate or inactivate a formula
You can inactivate a formula in this page, thereby preventing it from being referred in other activities.
Set the status field to “Inactive”, to inactivate the formula.
Refer to parameters at specific inspection points, in the formula
You can select a parameter at a specific inspection point to be referred in the formula.
Search and select for a parameter from the ”Search Results Parameter” multiline.
Click on the “Transfer Parameter” pushbutton to transfer the parameter.
Search and select for an inspection point from the “Search Results Inspection Points” multiline.
Click on the “Transfer Inspection Point” pushbutton to transfer the inspection point.
The system transfers the parameter and inspection point to the “Formula Content” field.
Enter an arithmetic operator in the “Formula Content” field.
