You can split an event into two events.
-
One of the two events will retain the same reason as the original event. You will assign a different reason to the other, new event.
-
If the existing event had a comment:
-
The existing event's comment will be retained.
-
The existing event's comment will be entered by default for the new event and can be changed.
-
-
If the event being split is 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 split.
