As an operator, I want to filter the tasks on a specific checklist, so it would be easier to find specific tasks in large checklists. This is a suggestion from Celanese users: being able to search for specific tasks. This will be useful specially for large checklists, that the operator has to go through the unit taking readings. Not always they do these readings in a specific path, they walk around randomly and fill the tasks as they go. Finding the tasks is somehow difficult in those situations, they have to keep scrolling and looking for the reading they are taking at the moment.
We had an occurrence where deploying a CDF Function to Cognite failed to deploy subsequently to Azure. Our CI/CD Pipeline is not quite set up for re-runnability, so it required changing the code for us to trigger a re-deployment. Considering the function.status method in the cognite SDK, it seems to reason that deployments could be monitored by the Cognite Back End for Success, and then retried up to maybe 3 times if failed. There were no logs provided to indicate why the deployment failed, in fact it looked like a bug in the error reporting as it had a newline character after what indicated a status message, but no status as to what happened.
How do we upload the “Person” data type meta data? Understood that the Person type contains many information, will be great that the extractor allows to configure to extract one of the property (e.g. display name, email, etc) as the meta data. The current extractor only uses the internal name of the column instead of the display name. It will be great that the file extractor allows the user to decide to use internal name or display name for extraction.
When a user makes changes to an Industrial Canvas, it says who and when, but not what was changed.Knowing what was changed would be helpful.
Request to have before and after message & photos to be put side by side in horizontal. Need to compare before and after corrective maintenance.
On the Template tasks creation, it’s not possible to visualize how the checklist will be from an execution perspective. To have that, the user needs to set the Template as ready and create the checklist, changing the screen and forcing the user to back and forward using the application.With the possibility to preview the checklist, the user will be able to see and adapt the Tasks during the creation itself, checking if the tasks execution flow makes sense and is aligned with the the best approaches.
Request able to paste and display images in InField by the person that create the draft form. Below the images can enter the job descriptions/steps. Users need to view the equipment parts (image) so it is easier to follow the job step instructions & signature (image)for the form revision as audit purpose. Sample:
Request update and delete feature for infield form. Operators may enter the data wrongly and need to edit.
Message entry with enter new line will all appear as 1 line text when display as checklist. Entry of new line is missing.Request the display to be same as draft message entered.
Submitted on behalf of Raj Rathod, a senior principal reliability engineer. (There are also many use cases at the site that relate to safety checklists that would benefit from this product idea):As an InField template creator and user, I would like to be able to pull from a generic template that I can then link to any asset. As an example, I perform a visual inspection of many pieces of equipment across the site. I don’t want to have to create unique templates with the same 19 questions and have to tailor each of the line items to the asset. Instead, it would be convenient to have a generic template of those 19 questions that I can then assign the entire checklist to a specific asset rather than going down to the task level. In addition to this, it would be nice if the template or checklist could read the asset’s QR code and automatically pull up the basic asset information so that I can focus on the 19 questions for inspection purposes. This use case can also be used for safety checklists that have the same questions or fields across the site, regardless of the unit. A unit could pull up the generic template from a Site-wide “asset”, and then specify which unit and area within the unit the checklist can be tagged to.
Currently we can’t aggregate data from views by nested types.For example, in the query below, we cannot aggregate fields by grouping them under the name of B and count the descriptions in view A, as they are nested within view B.type A { refB: B description: string}type B { name: string}Additionally, it would be beneficial if filtering by non-primitive types and nested fields were feasible.For clarity, by primitive types, I am referring to basic fields like strings and numbers.
I’m looking at the list of filtering possibilities on time series, and notice that the unit V for volts is listed as v. For volts, we’ll manage, but this could be more critical for megawatts (MW) versus milliwatts (mW). I think the casing for units should not be altered in the filter list:
As a template creator, I would like the ability to embed an image within a checklist item to help the checklist user with tasks. For example, the Maintenance Manager at Celanese requested this because on their pump bearing sheets, they have images to help technicians identify what they’re seeing in the field prior to performing the rest of the steps on their sheet. I can see many other use cases for this for other template creators - for example, process learning facilitators could use this to help make sure that the process experts or perhaps contractors during a turnaround, are looking at the right piece of equipment when performing a task.The ability to add images as part of the checklist item would help enhance the user’s experience, potentially eliminate human error and avoid safety hazards.
hello everyone:Can the data models be displayed graphically (see image) in industrial tools? I see this way of showing assets as powerful.
Hi Team,We had recently deployed both InField and Maintain for an internal slb team that is showcasing these apps to other customers.The issue that is being faced is that the work orders/activities being generated and planned in Maintain must be executed via tasks under Checklists in InField - this is the complete lifecycle of a work order/activity that is being expected.As mentioned by @Omar Khalil and @STEWART WALLACE in Cognite Hub, we are able to turn a work order in InField space to a Checklist task. But the customer is interested in using Maintain and InField together - an app which creates and plans tasks (i.e. Maintain) to plan and execute them (in InField).We found below issues while troubleshooting:Currently, InField and Maintain use different instance space - For InField, this space is created via the Cognite toolkit whereas for Maintain we use APM_SourceData. Also, since we have two separate configurations for these apps in the APM_Config data model, this is not being achieved. Question is: How do we ensure cohesion between these two apps to achieve the above? Currently it seems the apps are in silos. Steps followed: a. Open Maintain with InField’s configuration and create a new activity. b. It is expected that this work order is now visible in InField We were unable to create an activity from UI in Maintain’s current version - seems a bug in the current build We found that start date is not a mandatory field in Maintain Activity creation - Start date should be mandatory as InField’s work order filters work orders in the Overview section. While troubleshooting we added this one manually in the instance created in Activity view We were finally able to see the work order created in Maintain (with InField’s config selected) in InField when we updated source property of the Activity instance from APP to SAP - Seems InField only shows work orders that are SAP or not APP. Another bug while performing this flow in Maintain was that the test plan was selecting the entire Activity even though it was not selected. Ideally, only the activity selected should be associated to a plan. If nothing is selected, it should not allow you to proceed.@Aditya Kotiyal @kelvin @Kristoffer Knudsen @STEWART WALLACE
As in any industry, we have a lot of time series which correspond to Process Values and Set Points. I set out to do a seemingly simple task. Calculate a new time series that was 1 when the PV was +-10% of the SP and 0 otherwise. The first issue that I faced is that we can’t do logic calculation with Snthetic TS expressions but I won’t go into detail about that since I already made a post about it before. The second issue was unexpected. The Set Point temperature of an oven or other industrial material is seldom modified. For good quality, consistent set points are important. Thus, there are far fewer points in a Set-Point time series than in a Process-Value time series. I was trying to calculate this time series for 11h00 : 11h05. I had a set point set to 180 DEG_C at 09h00. My process values were in the hundreds, about one every 5 seconds (or whenver the temperature changed beyond a 0.1 DEG_C threshold). With data like this, if I try calculating the expression “PV, SP*0.9, SP*1.1” between 10h00 and 11h00, it will result in NAs for the SP columns! This is because the last known value of the SP is at 09h00 and there are no known SP points between 11h00 and 11h:05. My workaround was to retrieve_latest for the PV and use the time stamp to write to a NEW time series with the default time_series.data.retrieve endpoint, all values within 11h00 and 11h:05 and include_outside_points in that write, and then also forward fill it so that I had SP points in between 11h00 and 11h05. In a prior version of my program, I deleted the new time series at the end of the program but CDF started to give me Timeout errors at the delete (Not 429, just time out). I assume I hit some kind of API limit. We deal with hundreds of such pairs of Set Points and Process Values. I feel that there should be a metadata field in a time series that allows it to be filled-down. That is to say, an indicator that if the last point is at 9h00 and I ask for data at 11h00, CDF can safely assume that no new points indicate no change in value, up to the datetime.now().
Oxy’s current workflow involves an automated Power App that based on the answer to a question, will pop the following question. This would be a very valuable feature in InField, avoiding the necessity for the inspector to answer multiple questions and only focus on the relevant ones based on his answers.
Have a smart link between Canvas and Infield, so a Checklist can be started directly from Canvas and added as an element of the Canvas, once the checklist is done, the summary should be available to be downloaded as PDF from Canvas.
Hi Team,User not able to create annotations on 2D or 3d n CDF and InField application to communicate users.Click on Data Explorer tab Click on the Assets tab at the top to select the assets resource type. in the assets tab, search for the asset (By sort field or by SAP equipment number). Switch to list view on the asset search results. on the search results, click on "Select column" button at the top right-hand side of the search results panel. Add 3D Availability column to the view of assets. The asset searched for should be the first one on the search results and should show label "Exact Match". Click on the link for that asset under 3D Availability. Verify the asset in 3D view for point cloud and 360 images. users want to annotate something to inform a colleague.Expected Results: - User desires to make annotations on 2D or 3d to inform. Not possible to find tasks associated to assets in InField in the main CDF solution. Observed Results: - Not possible to create an annotation by an end user in CDF, Infield and communicate to user via CDF to InField, also InField to CDF.
For a better usage of InField, by the operators and persons who need to execute the Checklists, it will be better to set the ‘Assigned To Me’ filter as Default on the Checklist List screen. That will prevent users from executing Checklists that they not supposed to, and also facilitate the visualization of the Checklists that they need to execute.
The statement problem is we have two SAP standard api, one is Material Document Header : /sap/opu/odata/sap/API_MATERIAL_DOCUMENT_SRV/A_MaterialDocumentHeaderanother is Material document item: /sap/opu/odata/sap/API_MATERIAL_DOCUMENT_SRV/A_MaterialDocumentItemBoth APIs share the common field "MaterialDocument."Since the Material document item API lacks date fields, to get delta records our approach is to retrieve the latest changed row from the header API, extract the materialDocument value, and then utilize this value in the item API to fetch the delta. We've implemented a custom SAP extractor with this logic.Please enhance the SAP extractor with nested queries
Users reported that not have the possibility to consider a Task as a required field, specially for numerical readings, will have a big impact in the operation. Operators can select the task's status even if they didn’t fill the numerical reading field.Having that possibility is important so the management team will have less work checking the checklists execution. We have examples where the Checklist has more than 100 tasks.
I am writing to request a new feature for the Cognite File Extractor tool that would enhance its functionality and usability. Specifically, I propose the addition of a configuration option to control the number of files loaded by the extractor.As a user of the Cognite File Extractor, I have encountered situations where I need to manage large volumes of files during extraction processes. Currently, the tool loads all files present in the specified directory, which can lead to performance issues and inefficiencies when dealing with a high number of files. Therefore, implementing a feature that allows users to specify the maximum number of files to be loaded in a controlled manner would greatly improve the tool's flexibility and performance.The proposed configuration option would enable users to define a limit on the number of files extracted, through a numerical input . This would give users greater control over the extraction process, allowing them to tailor it to their specific needs and optimize performance based on their system resources and workflow requirements.By introducing this configuration control, users can effectively manage resource utilization and streamline their extraction workflows, leading to improved efficiency and productivity. Also consider adding logging for this feature which will help to debug in case of issues.
Hi Team,Search functionality while exploring 3D Models not working as expected.Steps to Reproduce the issue.1. Navigate to data explorer.2. Click on 3D Tab.3. Select B60 (P-12) (32A-37-38A-38B) model.4. On the search box on the left select 07-C-0701A asset5. While the asset is selected on the right-hand side user will view all the assets, time series, file and events data.6. Click on assets tab. User will be able to view all the linked asset to the compressor 07-C-0701A as shown below. 7. Now on the left-hand side change the asset name from 07-C-0701A to 07-C-0701B as shown in image below.Expected Results As the user change the asset to 07-C-0701B on the left-hand side search window and click on the asset it directs the user to the correct object in 3D model and the list of assets on the right hand should also change. However, the list does not change as shown in the image above. As soon as the asset is changed on the search option on the left the direct linked asset shall also change.Observed Results Even though the asset on left hand side is changed the asset list on right hand side does not change automatically and use must close the asset window in right so that the linked asset related to 07-C-0701B are updated.
User cannot navigate back to present 360 image to previous 360 image.
