Refer to the following tables for the key configurable properties of the Downtime reporting point.
Behavior properties

Property |
Description |
Valid values |
|---|---|---|
|
EnableEventTableLookup |
If you use an event table in your project, enable this property on the reporting point that is configured to use an event table. Specify True to enable this reporting point to use an event table. |
True, False |
|
EventAreas |
Enables you to enter Area IDs in a comma separated list. Determines the process areas a reporting point belongs to. |
Alphanumeric IDs in a comma separated list |
|
MaximumUpdateOpenDowntimeDuration |
The maximum update interval for updating an open Downtime duration. The default update interval is every 10 seconds. However, when a Downtime duration lasts for a longer time, it is not necessary to update at 10 second frequency. Therefore, AVEVA™ Production Management will compare 10 seconds with 1% of the Downtime duration time and use whichever is the larger value. This effectively makes the update frequency further and further apart depending on the Downtime duration time. This property enables you to put a cap on how far apart the update frequency is allowed to go. Note: The boundary, after which the 1% of Total Duration is adopted, is at 1000 seconds or 16 minutes and 40 seconds. For a reference diagram, see How update frequency is dynamic after 16 minutes 40 seconds in Studio Help. |

|
CauseLocations |
Defines valid locations related to this Downtime reporting point that can be the cause of a Downtime event. When operators are selecting a cause location, they cannot select any location other than those listed here. Use the Cause Location picker to select a cause location. For more info, see Cause Location picker. |

|
LocationIdentifier |
The unique identifier for the reporting point from an external system. For example, a reporting point in SAP has an identifier. You enter the SAP identifier into the LocationIdentifier property so that AVEVA™ Production Management recognizes the SAP reporting point. This property cannot be the same as any other LocationIdentifier or EquipmentIdentifier. |
String |
Quick Complete properties
|
Property |
Description |
Valid values |
|---|---|---|
|
DisplayQuickComplete |
Determines how the Quick Complete suggestion list will appear in Production Analyst. The options that you specify here will apply to this reporting point only. This does not affect the settings made at the global level on the Downtime configuration item. For more information on the different display options to choose from, see Quick Complete display options. For more information on Quick Complete, see Quick Complete. |
Real Downtime properties

Property |
Description |
Valid values |
|---|---|---|
|
StartDelay |
Defines the amount of time to wait after the capture condition becomes True before the event recording is activated or the Downtime event is recognized. You can use this property to filter out short events that don't significantly impact production, which enables analysis to focus on major events. In spite of this delay, Downtime records treat the start time of the event as when the capture condition was first met to enable accurate time accrual. |
A valid time span in the form hh:mm:ss |
|
StopDelay |
Defines the amount of time to wait after the capture condition returns to False before the event recording is stopped or have reset before the downtime event is closed. You can use this to stop multiple downtime events being triggered during startup phases where conditions fluctuate. In spite of this delay, Downtime records treat the stop time of the event as when the capture condition was first reset to enable accurate time accrual. |
A valid time span in the form hh:mm:ss |
Virtual Downtime properties
For more information, see How Virtual Downtime works in Studio Help.
|
Property |
Description |
Valid values |
|---|---|---|
|
VirtualStartDelay |
Defines the amount of time to wait after the virtual capture condition becomes True before the Downtime recording is activated. The same as StartDelay, but in relation to virtual conditions. Appears only when reporting point contains a virtual capture condition. |
A valid time span in the form hh:mm:ss. |
|
VirtualStopDelay |
Defines the amount of time to wait after the virtual capture condition returns to False before downtime recording is stopped. The same as StopDelay, but in relation to virtual conditions. Appears only when reporting point contains a virtual capture condition. |
A valid time span in the form hh:mm:ss. |
