Autolog Display

An Autolog Display is used to interact with quality and process data in a format similar to a spreadsheet. Autolog Displays can be time-based or event-based. In a time-based Autolog Display, each column represents a specified time period. In an event-based Autolog Display, each column represents an event such as a production event or a product-change event.

Autolog displays are real-time applications used to interact with quality and process data in spreadsheet format. An Autolog display can be configured so that new columns are automatically added in one of two ways:

  • Based on time, in which case each column represents a time slice

  • Based on an event, in which case each column represents an event such as a production event or a product change event

Display options for an Autlog are set up in the Plant Applications Administrator by right-clicking on an Autolog display listed under Displays in the Client Management section and choosing to edit the display. Work through the selections in each tab to set up an Autolog display. Refer to Autolog Display Options Settings for a description of the Display Options tab.

Production or User-Defined Event data can be locked based on the event status to prevent changes. This action permanently locks data for all Production or User-Defined Events with this status on all units. Only transitions to other locked statuses are allowed for statuses that have been locked. In Autolog, related data-entry fields are locked. Refer to Locking Production Statuses.
