A Create Event node represents
an action to create a Policy Event record,
which stores information about events that are associated with Equipment
or Functional Location records.
When a Create Event node is executed, a Policy Event record will be created using the values that you specify on
the Properties window for the
node. One Policy Event record will be created for each Create Event node
in the policy model that has a unique name.
If a Policy Event record is created for an event that has a duration,
additional Policy Event records with the same name will not
be created until the event is closed (i.e., the End Time field in the Policy Event
record contains a value).
Note: You can use a corresponding Close Event node to populate the End Time and Close Description fields in the same Policy Event record when subsequent conditions indicate that the event has closed.
The Properties
window for a Create Event node contains the items that are described in
the following table. The values that you define in each section will be
used to populate the corresponding fields in the Policy Event record that is created.
Item
Description
Notes
Asset Key section
Specifies
the entity key of the Equipment or Functional Location record
that is associated with the event, (i.e., the record to which the Policy Event record will be linked).
Specifies
the timestamp that is associated with the end of the event.
You should
only define a value in this section when the Has
Duration field is set to True.
IMPORTANT: If the policy contains a corresponding Close Event node, you should not
specify values in this section. You should specify values in the
End Time section on the
Properties window that
is displayed for the Close Event node.
Specifies
a description of why the event was closed.
IMPORTANT: If the policy contains a corresponding Close Event node, you should not
specify values in this section. You should specify values in the
Close Description section
on the Properties window that is displayed for the Close Event
node.
