Configuring Events Detection

How to Configure Event Detection

The Event Detection wizard enables you to more easily configure models for event detection. When you select an event you want to detect, the wizard automatically selects a basic model and dynamically displays the various properties that must be configured for the selected model.  Also refer to Event Detection Wizard Fields.

TIP:  For Plant Applications 6.1.4 (April 2015), 6.2.3 (July 2015), and 6.3, Production models have a new configuration parameter (Auto Move End Time) under the General tab to set an interval for automatically adjusting the end time of an event, while the event is in process, in order to update event dimensions. Refer to Periodic Event Dimension Update.

If the selected model does not meet your needs, click More Models on the General tab to select and configure a different model.

After selecting a model type, the Event Detection wizard automatically displays the options and fields required for configuring the selected model. For models that require VB script, sample scripts are provided that can be used or edited.

Keep in mind that the models available for selection are controlled by your license.
