Select Machines

About this task

As an Operator, you can use the My Machines application to select machines from the list of machines accessible to you across a plant model. The selected machines are set as your user preferences in the Plant Applications Web Client. The other applications in the Plant Applications Web Client, such as Downtime and Reports, display their application-specific data for only those machines that were set as your user preferences.
Note: Two user preferences are stored for a user. You can switch back to previous user preference using the Restore Previous Profile option.

When you load the My Machines application for the first time or if no machines are displayed, the machines for which you have access to appear in the Selected Machines section.

Note: If no machines are authorized to you, an error message is displayed. Contact your System Administrator.

Procedure

  1. Select the relevant departments, lines and machines from the Departments, Lines and Machines boxes, respectively. The list of machines appears.
  2. Select the machines you want to set as your user preferences.
    Note: The values that appear in the Department, Line, and Machine boxes are based on the Production Units associated with an active Display for which you have write access. You can configure Production Units for a Display in the Plant Applications Administrator.
  3. Select Save.

    Based on machines selected in the My Machines application, application-specific data appears in the other applications. For example, in the Events page in the Downtime application, the downtime records for the machines selected in the My Machines application appear.

    Note: You must have at least one machine authorized to you. If you delete all the machines authorized to you, an error message is displayed and the option to save the changes is not available. If you want to delete all the machines, contact your System administrator.
