Plant ApplicationsAbout Creating Activities
To create activities, you must add one of the following types of events. Activities are then created for the event:
You cannot add a process order change event by using the Activities application. The activities for a process order change event are automatically created in the Activities application when you complete the process order in the associated display and the option to create activities is set to True. You configure the display associated with a production unit in Plant Applications Administrator.
Based on the configuration in Plant Applications Administrator, the number of activities created for an event depend on the number of variable groups in the display (the autolog sheet).
Activities are created only if:
- The option to create activities in the display associated with the autolog sheet or the production unit is set to true.
- Variables are configured in the display associated with the autolog sheet or the production unit, and the display type is set to custom.
- Variable groups do not contain the same title (in case the display associated with the autolog sheet or the production unit is configured to create activities with titles corresponding to the titles of the variable groups).
Note: When Activities are created based on the title, the order of the activity execution is based on the Activity Order defined in the Activity Order column in the Variable tab of Autolog Sheet in Plant Applications Administrator. By default, all activities created per title will have the Activity Order defined as zero. When you create titles and set their activity order in the Administrator, these activities become available to perform in the same order as configured in the Plant Applications Web Client. This is applicable only for the Process applications and is not supported for the Discrete applications.
