Validate the Formula Template

Use the Validate button to initiate a validation of the Formula Template against a specific Equipment. You can perform the validation when the FormulaTemplate is either in checked-in or checked-out state. Validation consists of a verification of the following elements:

• Every Equipment parameter name must match a Formula Template parameter name.

• The UOM of each Equipment parameter must match the UOM of corresponding Formula Template parameter (or either can be blank).

• The group of each Equipment parameter must match with the group for each corresponding Formula Template parameter. If Equipment parameter does not have the parameter group assigned, then it can match with Formula Template parameter without any group too.

• Equipment parameters having a string list or enum list datatype must be mapped to corresponding string list or enum list Formula parameters.

• If the Equipment parameter is Integer/Double with minimum and maximum values defined and the Formula Parameter is enum list then an enum value should be validated against Equipment parameter’s minimum and maximum values. An error appears if the enum value is not in range.

• If the Equipment parameter is Integer/Double with minimum and maximum values defined and the Formula Parameter is a string list then an error appears after validation against minimum and maximum values. If the minimum and maximum value is blank then, no error appears.

To validate the Formula Template

1. Open the Formula Template Details page and then click Validate. The Validate slide-in window appears.

2. Select the Equipment from the list of latest available Equipment in the model.
