When editing an existing element, you will use the Item Properties:

The available properties for an element will be determined by the Item Type and/or Data Type.

You can click on the complex properties for more details on how they can be used.

Fields

  • Name - (mandatory for all elements) the name of the element.

  • Item Key - (mandatory for all elements) the key of the element.

  • Hint - (optional - available for all elements) add text and html links to offer users more context around an element.

  • Process Variable - (optional - available for all elements) represents the measured value or parameter of a particular part of a process which is being monitored and controlled. Usually, a process variable is linked to a PLC tag via a TilliT Edge device, where actual values are being referenced.

Toggles

  • Is required - when activated, this item must be completed and must be within any configured tolerances/targets, otherwise the activity will fail.

  • Read only - makes the element read-only (i.e. the user can view, but not enter/edit the data for this item).

  • Active - makes the element active or inactive in the form. This allows you to "switch off" items instead if deleting them.

Buttons

  • Delete this form item - deletes the element from the activity template.

  • Clear - clears all optional properties from the element.

  • Save - saves any changes made in the element's properties. You must click this to apply any changes.

**** - (mandatory for all elements) decides the behaviour expected from the element.

**** - (mandatory for all elements) decide how the value of the item type is captured.

Calculation - (only available on Data types: , ) allows you to configure a calculation using math and/or JavaScript. Attributes and Item Keys can be references in the calculation. For a read only note, it allows you to use attributes for any variable value in a note.

Options - (only available on Data type: ) choose from a configured list. Available as single, multiple or tree options.

Barcode field length / Barcode fields - (only available on Data type: ) barcode fields must be defined by length of field within the barcode and the name of the field. The barcode fields must refer to Item Keys within the activity form. For example, an 11-digit barcode could be split into 3 fields; customer (first 2 digits) ,product (next 4 digits), serial (next 5 digits).

Attribute - (only available on Item type: ) a property definition and can be related to an Asset, Material or Order. The attribute definition will provide additional context for operational control and compliance.

- (only available on Data types: Number, , ) sets the source of the tolerance for this element. You can have none, on the material, on the asset, on the order, on the activity item or on the process variable. If you choose activity item, you will be asked to set a Lower limit, Target and Upper limit. If you set a target, but not upper and lower limits, the result must be an exact match. If you set a lower and/or upper limit, the result must be within that upper/lower range. You can also choose to hide the target from users.

**** - (optional - available for all elements) create a mathematical or JavaScript evaluation. If the result is true, the item will be active in the form and submits data.

**** - (optional - available for all elements) create a mathematical or JavaScript evaluation. If the result is true, the item will be hidden in the form, but still remains active and submits data.

**** - provides a camera button to take and/or attach images from the user's device.

Repeat for each component - repeats the element for every material component that is being produced on this order (see ).
