Value assigned
manually
If the value of a message characteristic is to
be assigned manually in the PI sheet, the characteristic must be marked as
requested in the data request.
In principle, you can define every message
characteristic as a requested characteristic. However, note the following
restrictions:
- A repeated data request must not contain more
than 10 requested characteristics with a total of 150 characters. This means
that the input table cannot have more than 10 columns, and its width cannot
exceed 150 characters.
- In a repeated data request, you cannot define
requested characteristics for which a long text must be entered.
Basic functions
When you define an input characteristic in the
process instruction, you must at least provide the following
information:
- An input request that is
displayed before the corresponding input field or above the table column in
the PI sheet
- The message characteristic
whose value you want to enter
- If possible, the unit of
measurement for the input value
It is displayed
after the input field or above the table column in the PI sheet.
Enter this information by allocating the
following characteristics to the process instruction:

Additional
functions
For each input value, you can also maintain
additional information that controls the way the input value is processed in
the PI sheet.
The following table provides an overview of the
available functions and the characteristics they require. For more detailed
information, refer to the corresponding section.

Further
Notes
- Characteristics whose values can be assigned
automatically can nevertheless be defined as input values in the process
instruction. If this is the case, the automatically determined value is
proposed as a default value when you call up the possible entries for the
characteristic.
