Configure the Data Log control

You can use the Data Log control to record any information about the current job that is being run on a selected entity.

The collected data is typically not a value that is specified prior to running the job. The fields that appear in this control are created in MES Client.

When you use the Data Log control in a System Platform symbol, you can associate it with the Button Bar control. For more information, see Associate the Button Bar control with other controls.

The operator can use the Data Log control to:

• Add a new row to the grid.

• Save all entered data.

• Refresh the Data Log grid.

• Delete the selected row from the grid.

• Open the Help window.

• Start an external application.

• Start Internet Explorer.

• Switch between grid display and chart display.

• Switch the active user.

• Open or launch a form, if Path to form program system parameter is set.

The Data Log control corresponds to the Data Log tab of the MES Operator application. For more information, see the Data Log Tab section in the MES Operator Guide or MES online help.
