If you want to group several consecutive input values in a simple data request, you define a common heading for them.
The input values following a heading are indented in the PI sheet.
You can define several headings in a process instruction.
To define the heading for a group of input values, you assign the following characteristic before the input request of the first input value:
Characteristic |
Meaning |
Value |
PPPI_INPUT_GROUP |

The description of the inspection characteristic if characteristic PPPI_INSPECTION_CHARACTERISTIC for the inspection characteristic number has been assigned to the process instruction before
You can use a text symbol to insert the value of another characteristic into the text; see Text Symbols Within Characteristic Texts .
