New Raw Data Report
A Raw Data Report page has been created under the Applications menu item that allows exploring raw data associated with objects and or attributes. The report uses the familiar Date Time picker, Data Table and Model Browser components for creating a report. A Download Data button provides a way to download the data into a CSV file for further analysis. You will find a link to the page on most instance Overview tabs, as well as wherever you find a link to the Trend application.
Material Movement Detection
Several new features have been added to the Material Movement Detection component.
-
New equipment types have been added into the smart library and many of them now come with a pre-coded is-feeding method. The is-feeding method is essential for any piece of equipment to actively participate in a feed chain. The feed chain is the piece of code that detects and calculates material movements and uses those material movements to populate the material ledger.
-
Previously, any piece of equipment that didn't have an is-feeding method in it’s class script stopped the Feed Chain. This has been changed to simply treat the equipment as a piece of flow through equipment. The Feed Chain code skips that piece of equipment and goes up to the next item in the feed chain.
-
In the material flow diagram you can now see much clearer reasoning provided from the feed chain. You can now see when the start of the movement material movement was detected and when the end of the material movement was detected. There is also reasoning that shows exactly how far and which routes the chain feed found that connected two accounts together, making it infinitely easier to debug the can-feed relationship.
Model Explorer [04-11-2024]
Types and Instances
- The label for ordering attributes was not consistent between the Attribute grid and the Edit dialog. Now they are both labeled 'Order'.
Access Control
- Users in the User Group 'Registered' only have 'View' access to all Model elements, including scripts, libraries, etc.
- Users in the User Group 'SiteAdmin' only have 'View' access to Model elements, including scripts, libraries, etc.
- In the Admin Console, clearing non-used scripts and log and output files should only be an option for users in the DevAdmin User Group. Previously SiteAdmins had access to this page.
Relationships
- When items in the Relationship grid have the same name - like 'Inlet Valve' -, it is difficult to know what instance the item referred to when looking at the Relationship grid. Now the items are uniquely identified by appending their parent(can feed) name in the display.
