ODI Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While using the Operator Data Interface screen, it may become necessary to record further detail regarding the current state of a machine.  To do this, it is possible to capture the detail about what is going on by using the notes field.  With this feature, the machine operator has the ability to leave detailed notes about what is currently going on with the machine.  In order to leave a note, the operator does need to have the correct permissions.  If they are not permitted, the notes field will not be displayed on the ODI Screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes can be entered at any time, even without changing the status of status of the equipment.  For instance, if a machine operator is encountering some problem the operator may want to display that on the RTV, or trigger an email or text message.  To enter a note, select the equipment and the current status it is in and enter a the note then press the Start Status button.  The note left by that operator will then be stored in the database and displayed on the RTV, if the RTV screen has been configured to display the Equipment Status Notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is possible to enter a note for Cycle Statuses, Scrap Parts, Unplanned Downtimes, Planned Downtimes and Custom Commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last note entered for each of the associated note types will be displayed below the notes text box using the Active Equipment Status<\/strong>, Active Scrap Note<\/strong>, and Active Custom Command notes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
