Create Data Collection Limit Set#

DataCollectionLimitSet.Create

Overview#

This operation is used to create and define warning and error limits to be applied to a given Data Collection at a given Step or Resource context.

Setup#

No specific setup is required other than to meet the precondition of the transaction.

Preconditions#

• The Data Collection exists and is active in the system.

Sequence of Steps#

There are several ways to create a new versioned object. Depending on the level, follow these steps to get started:

• Entity - in the landing page of this entity type in the Business Data menu or in the details page of an existing entity of the same type, select New on the top ribbon. For more information, see Creating Entity Objects.
• Revision - if you want to create a new revision, go to the New dropdown button on the top ribbon and select Revision. For more information, see Revisions.
• Version - if you want to create a version associated to an existing revision, go to the New dropdown button on the top ribbon and select Version. For more information, see Versions.

Step 1: Change Set#

1. Select an existing Change Set or select Create New to create a new Change Set to be used for this purpose. If the support of Implicit Change Sets has been configured beforehand, it is also possible to check the option Use Automatic Change Set.
2. Optionally, select an Approver Role.

Step 2: General Data#

1. Enter a name for the Data Collection Limit Set.
2. If you are creating a new version, the revision that was selected when you started the process will be the revision to which this version will be associated. If you are creating a new entity or revision (with a new version associated to it), provide a name for the revision or it will be automatically generated for you. For more information, see Revision Naming.
3. Optionally, enter a description.
4. Select the Data Collection Limit Set type. The list of possible values is taken from the lookup table DataCollectionLimitSetType.
5. Select the Data Collection to which the Data Collection Limit Set belongs. If the operation is called from the Data Collection wizard, the selection is automatic.

Step 3: Parameters Limits#

1. Manage the Data Collection Limit Set parameters (by using the and grid buttons to add and remove parameters), defining for each parameter:

   • Parameter name.
   • Whether to override the default Parameter validation range.
   • Optionally, the minimum possible value for the Parameter (applicable if the option to override the default Parameter range is set).
   • Optionally, the maximum possible value for the Parameter (applicable if the option to override the default Parameter range is set).
   • The limit type (Absolute or Relative). Relative limits always relate to the Material primary quantity.
   • Optionally, the lower error limit.
   • Optionally, the lower warning limit.
   • Optionally, the target.
   • Optionally, the upper warning limit.
   • Optionally, the upper error limit.
   • Optionally, select whether to include sample limits (only valid if the limit type is set to Absolute).

   

2. The following features are also available in this screen:

   • Synchronize - this option will enable the synchronization (by removing excessive parameters and adding the missing ones) between the Data Collection Limit Set parameters and the Data Collection parameters.
   • Copy - this allows you to copy the parameters from an existing Data Collection Limit Set by selecting the Copy button to later apply them to another Data Collection.

   

3. If you choose to include Sample Limits, these sample limits can be defined in the next dialog. Select the and buttons to add and remove sample limits for each parameter, defining for each sample limit:

   • Sample Id (mandatory)
   • Lower Error Limit
   • Lower Warning Limit
   • Target
   • Upper Warning Limit
   • Upper Error Limit
