Create Production Event Nodes in Policy Designer

A Create Production Event node represents an action to create a Production Event record that is populated with the input values that you specify on the Properties window.

The outputs of the Create Production Event node are the following system fields for the record that the node creates: Content GUID, Entity KeyThe Entity Key output can be used in subsequent action nodes, such as the Create Relationship node, but will return a value of 0 if used in a calculation or a Return Value node, since the Entity Key is not available until the record is saved at the end of policy execution., Entity ID, and Site Key.

Node Properties

The Properties window for a Create Production Event node contains the items that are described in the following table. In each section, you can select the icon to specify the output of a predecessor node. The values that you define in each section will be used to populate the corresponding fields in the Production Event record that is created.

Item	Description	Notes
Causing Asset Key section	Specifies the Equipment record that represents the piece of equipment that caused the event.	The Causing Asset Key value must match exactly the Entity Key of the asset that caused the event.
Description section	Specifies a detailed description of the event.	None
End Date section	Specifies the date that the event ended.	Along with the start date, the end date determines whether or not the production event will be available in the Production Event list in the Production Event workspace.
Headline section	Specifies a short description of the event.	None
Source Production Unit section	Specifies the production unit to which loss is attributed.	The created Production Event record will be automatically linked to the specified Production Unit record.
Start Date section	Specifies the date that the event started.	Along with the end date, the start date determines whether or not the production event will be available in the Production Event list in the Production Event workspace.

Note: If you add a custom field to the Production Event family, that field will also appear in the Properties window for the Create Production Event node.
