Modify the Value of an Autolog Variable

Procedure

  1. Log in to Plant Applications Web Client.
  2. In application navigation menu, select .
  3. Depending on whether the activity is open or completed, select the appropriate tab.
  4. If the activity is locked, select Release to release the activity.
  5. Select Perform.
    The autolog history appears, displaying values for the modifiable autolog variables. The last entered variable value appears automatically in the page, displaying the autolog history (irrespective of the application or page from which the value is modified).

    If the Engineering Units display property is enabled for the display associated with the event in Plant Applications Administrator, the units of measurement defined for variables also appear next to the variable value in the autolog sheet.

  6. Point to the value that you want to modify.
    An option to modify the value appears.
    Note: If the option to modify is unavailable, it is due to one of the following reasons:
    • You do not have the permission to modify the values. Contact your administrator.
    • You have exceeded the time limit set by the administrator within which you can modify the values. This time limit is set in the Time to Edit Completed Activity field in the Global Settings > Site Parameters window in Plant Applications Administrator. After this duration, only a user with the Admin privilege can modify the value of the autolog variable.
  7. Select EDIT.
    The text box for entering the autolog variable value is now modifiable.
  8. In the text box for the autolog variable value, enter a new value, and then press Tab to save the new value.
    Note: If the variable has electronic signature enabled, an Electronic Signature window appears whenever you insert or edit a test value for a variable. The icon near the text box indicates that the variable is entitled to electronic signature for any modifications. For more information about electronic signature, refer Modify the Value of an Electronic Signature Autolog Variable.
  9. Optional: To modify the autolog variables in the Spec and Data & Specs sections, repeat steps 5 through 7.
  10. Select Back.

Results

The updated value for the autolog variable appears in the autolog history.

In the autolog history, all the completed activities and skipped activities appear. If you modify the value of an autolog variable later, the status of the activity does not change. However, based on the values, the percentage completion of the activity is updated in the % Complete box in the Completed page.
