Timestamp tour options

The Timestamp tab enables you to set up tour options for Tour Time and Tag Time.

Note: Options indicated with an asterisk (*) are recognized by PI Manual Logger Web.

Tour Time options

You can set the following Tour Time options.

• Default Tour Time to the Current Timestamp*: Select for PI Manual Logger to use the current time as the tour timestamp. Deselect for the tour's timestamp to default to the whole hour unless it is within 15 minutes of the next hour; then it defaults to the next whole hour.

• Allow Tour timestamp to be edited*: Select to allow users to edit the tour timestamp. This option is applicable only to the Data Entry Group for the tour. Users belonging to the tour's Full Access Group always have permission to edit the tour and tag timestamps.

Tag Time options

You can set the following Tag Time options.

• Default Tag Time to the Current Timestamp*: Select for the timestamp for each data point to default to the current time.

• Default Tag Time to Tour Timestamp*: Select for the timestamp for each data point to use the same time as the tour timestamp by default. If the tag timestamp does not default to the tour timestamp, it uses the PC or mobile device's clock time.

  Note: This option may be useful when you enter values for lab samples. For example, the ASTM lab analysis for the Kerosene cut in a Crude unit has multiple data values, but all with the same timestamp.

• Allow Tag timestamp to be edited: Select to allow a user to edit the timestamp for each data point. This option is applicable only to the Data Entry Group for the tour. Users belonging to the tour's Full Access Group always have permission to edit the tour and tag timestamps.

  Note: If no timestamp is entered, the default is the tour timestamp. The timestamp is populated when you navigate to the next tag or close the Data Entry window.
