Step 2: Add a reporting point to a template

Guidelines

• You can add reporting points to templates to create a certain section of the plant hierarchy.

• You can add as many reporting points as you want to a template.

To add a reporting point to an equipment template

1. Expand the System Configuration folder, then expand the Templates folder, then right-click Equipment Template, point to Add Item, point to Reporting Points, and then choose a module. A new reporting point appears.

   

2. Proceed to set the properties of the reporting point and its child items, as specified in the instructions for the relevant module.

3. For condition expressions, use a special generic syntax, so that the expression can be contextualized and applied across various pieces of equipment.
