Displaying Properties in Browser-Based PI Sheets

Use

You can display the properties for every input field in a dialog box in the PI sheet. To do so, you choose Display properties in the context menu.

Prerequisites

Logging

In order that the system logs actions by a user or other events at an input field in the PI sheet, you must make the relevant Customizing settings.
To do so, go to Customizing for Process Management and choose Control Recipes/PI Sheets ® Control Recipe Destinations ® Define and Set Up Control Recipe Destinations.

Features

Depending on the actions performed at the input field, the maximum content of the Properties dialog box is the following:

Position

Here, the number of the phase and the process instruction in which the process step was defined in the process order is displayed, for example.
You need this function in the following situations:

When you find an error while testing the PI sheet, you can use the position to find the process instruction that must be changed.
System messages in the log normally specify the process instruction to which they refer. If a system message indicates an error you have made when maintaining the process instruction in the PI sheet, you can use the above function to find the relevant element of the PI sheet.

Log

Contains all values entered, the date and time when they were entered as well as the terminal number and user ID of the user logged on. Both rejected and accepted values are logged.
For more information, see Logging in Browser-Based PI Sheets.

Deviations

You can define an input validation for input fields. Deviations that occur during value entry are listed here. The value entered, the validation rule defined, and a note saying whether the value was rejected or accepted is displayed for every deviation.
For more information, see Recording of Actual Data in Browser-Based PI Sheets.

Comments

Contains all comments entered for the input field, the date and time when they were entered as well as the user ID of the user logged on.

Lists all digital signatures executed in input fields. The name of the signatory, the date and time when the signature was executed, and, if available, a comment by the signatory are displayed for every signature.
