How to set up Knowledge

1

Prepare for Knowledge

Before you add a Knowledge reporting point, do the following:

• Define the entire plant hierarchy. You can better decide where to place Knowledge reporting points if you can see the completed hierarchy.

• (Optional) Define the product hierarchy. Product definitions are not mandatory for you to correctly configure Knowledge, but they provide additional areas in which you can place Knowledge reporting points.

• (Optional) Define period definitions to specify repeatable lengths of time in the plant process; for example, a day or a shift.

• (Optional) Define time events to base event definitions on the date and the time.
