Family Field Descriptions

Policy Records

Policy records store basic information about policies. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the Policy family and that are displayed on the baseline Policy datasheet (unless otherwise noted). The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

This family is not enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be accessed by any user with the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information.

By default, this family is configured to be included in global search and to use Rules.

Note: The values in Policy records cannot be modified in Record Manager or accessed via the global search. Instead, you must access the policy in the policies interface.


Field	Data Type	Description	Field Behavior and Usage
Active	Logical	Indicates whether the policy is active or inactive.	Reflects the selection of the activate/deactivate policy button in the Details workspace.
Automatic Evaluation	Logical	Indicates whether the policy logic will be executed automatically when records belonging to the policy instance are modified.	Reflects the selection in the Automatic Execution check box in the Details workspace.
Description	Text	A brief summary of the policy.	Contains the value that you enter in the Description box on the Details workspace.
Execution History Setting	Character	Defines how the execution history is recorded for the policy.	Reflects the selection in the Execution History option in the Details workspace. The field is populated with the value Normal, by default.
Model	Text	Code defining the logic that is represented by the policy model.	This field is populated automatically and does not appear on the Policy datasheet.
Name	Character	The name of the policy.	Contains the value that you specify in the Name box in the Details workspace. This field is required, and the value must be unique.
Owner	Character	The owner of the policy.	Contains the policy owner that appears at the top of the Details workspace. Only the owner of the policy can save changes to the policy. This field is required. This field is configured to track revision history by default. You can look at the revision history for this field to determine the ownership history for a particular policy.
Schedule	Character	Code defining the policy's schedule.	This field is populated automatically and does not appear on the Policy datasheet.
Schedule Executed	Boolean	Indicates whether the currently configured schedule has executed at least once.	Populated automatically.
Scheduled	Logical	Indicates whether the policy has a defined execution schedule.	Populated automatically.
Time Zone	Character	The time zone associated with the policy.	Contains the value that you specify in the Time Zone list in the Details workspace. This field contains the value (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time by default.

Policy Instance Records

Policy Instance records store information about policy instances that are associated with a policy. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the Policy Instance family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

By default, this family is configured to be excluded from global search and to use Rules.

Note: The values in Policy Instance records cannot be modified in Record Manager. You must update the instance in the Policy Designer module in order to change values in the record.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Active	Logical	Indicates whether the instance is active or inactive.	Reflects the selection of the activate/deactivate policy instance button in the Instances pane.
ID	Character	The name of the instance.	Populated automatically with the value that you enter in the Instance box in the Instances pane.
Mapping	Text	Contains code that maps values from records belonging to the policy instance to the nodes in the associated policy model.	This field is disabled and does not appear on the Policy Instance datasheet.
Policy GUID	Character	A unique identifier that is used internally by the Predix Essentials system.	This field is disabled and does not appear on the Policy Instance datasheet.

Policy Recommendation Records

Policy Recommendation records store basic information about recommendations that have been created as a result of a policy. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of some of the fields that exist in the Policy Recommendation family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer to the Sites section of the documentation.

By default, this family is configured to be included in global search and to use Rules.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Associated Reference	Character	The Reference ID of the event or any other entity that originated the recommendation.	Populated automatically based on the properties defined for the associated Create Recommendation node.
Completed Date	Date	The date on which the recommended action was completed.	You can use the Calendar feature to select the date on which the recommended action was completed.
Completion Comments	Text	Details about the completed recommendation.	You can enter a value manually.
Create Work Request?	Boolean	Specifies whether a work request for the EAM system that you have configured in Predix Essentials will be created from the Policy Recommendation record.	Populated automatically based on the properties defined for the associated Create Recommendation node.
Equipment ID	Character	The Record ID of the Equipment record to which the Policy Recommendation record is linked.	Populated automatically based on the properties defined for the associated Create Recommendation node. -or- Populated automatically with the Record ID of the Equipment record that is linked to the Functional Location record identified by the value in the Functional Location ID field.
Functional Location ID	Character	The Record ID of the Functional Location record to which the Policy Recommendation record is linked.	Populated automatically based on the properties defined for the associated Create Recommendation node. -or- Populated automatically with the Record ID of the Functional Location record that is linked to the Equipment record identified by the value in the Equipment ID field.
Recommendation Basis	Character	The policy that created the recommendation.	Populated automatically with the name of the Policy record to which the Policy Recommendation record is linked. This field does not appear on the Policy Recommendation datasheet.
Recommendation Description	Text	Information about the policy logic that caused the Policy Recommendation record to be created.	Populated automatically.
Recommendation Headline	Character	A short description of the recommended action.	Populated automatically based on the properties defined for the associated Create Recommendation node.
Recommendation ID	Character	A unique value that identifies the Policy Recommendation record.	Populated automatically when the recommendation is created.
Recommendation Priority	Character	The priority value used to rank the importance of the recommendation.	Populated automatically based on the properties defined for the associated Create Recommendation node.
Recommendation Type	Character	The type of recommendation record.	Populated automatically with the value Policy (PCY). This field does not appear on the Policy Recommendation datasheet.
Target Completion Date	Date	The date by which the recommended action should be completed.	Populated automatically based on the properties defined for the associated Create Recommendation node. This field is required.
Work Request Equipment	Character	The ID of the EAM system Equipment that is associated with the work request that was created from this Policy Recommendation record.	Populated automatically when the work request is created.
Work Request Functional Location	Character	The ID of the EAM system Functional Location that is associated with the work request that was created from this Policy Recommendation record.	Populated automatically when the work request is created.
Work Request Reference	Character	The ID of the EAM system work request that was created from this Policy Recommendation record.	Populated automatically when the work request is created.
