Merge two utilization events

You can merge an event with the previous or next event in the event chart.

• The merged event will have the same reason as the initially selected event.

• The comment from the initially selected event will be entered by default for the merged event and can be changed.

• The comment in the previous or next event that was merged will be discarded.

• If the events being merged are within 3 hours of the current time, the equipment's hourly KPI tag data for the last 3 hours will be updated. Equipment efficiency tag data is updated at the top of every hour.

Events that do not have a utilization reason assigned to them, but only an equipment state, cannot be merged.

To merge two utilization events

1. Select the equipment for which you want to merge the events.

2. In the event timeline chart, select the event block and then select .

   

   

3. Select one of the Merge direction buttons to determine whether the other event to be merged into the selected event precedes or follows the selected event.

   The duration of the merged event appears above the event timeline.

   Note that the event blocks lengths here do not represent the actual event time spans.

4. (Optional) Edit the comment from the initial event or, if that event didn't have one, add a comment.

5. Select Merge.
