Configure Behavior properties

Action

Defines whether this field stores a value with each record or whether it retrieves a value from the Calendar when the record is accessed by AVEVA™ Production Management.

If the Action property is set to LookupCalendar, specify the ItemName in the Calendar

If the Action property is set to Store, specify the calculation and capture values

Store, LookupCalendar

CalendarItem

The ItemName in the Calendar table. AVEVA™ Production Management retrieves the item value based on the ItemName and ActiveDateTime pair.

This property is available only when the Action property is LookupCalendar.

Example

ItemName [ActiveDateTime, Item Value]

ItemName [ActiveDateTime, Item Value]

This directs AVEVA™ Production Management to lookup the value of ItemValue associated with specified ItemName in the dbo.Calendar table, based on ActiveDateTime.

CaptureValueForManualRecords

Specifies whether the field uses the expression result as the default value in manual records.

True, False

DataType

The data type for the field. This is an important value for storing and aggregating data correctly.

The correct data type is critical to the ability of Production Analyst to display and aggregate information in fields.

The type you select can cause different options to display in the Properties pane. If it is a numeric data type, you can optionally specify the Minimum and Maximum values under the Details Display category.

The data type is required information, however, sometimes can be supplied by the SourceField.

For more information, see Configure the Data Type property for fields.

If the data type is String, set the String-related properties that determine text entry properties. See StringType property.

Boolean, Date, Double, Integer, Long, Single, String.

DisplayFormat

This value specifies the formatting of numeric data types: Double, Integer, Long, and Single.

For each different numeric data type there is a default format; for example, 0.######. For more information, see Configure the Display Format property for fields.

RefreshValueOnCapture

Specifies whether the value of an expression is refreshed when the field is captured, rather than only when the expression subscription triggers are activated.
