How To: Configure Token Selection with Attribute Filters in Data Acquisition

Relates to versions - 6.0+

Overview:

In busy control rooms, being able to capture data quickly is predicated on being able to find the correct data in a timely fashion. When dealing with large or multisite operations, the amount of data can be overwhelming. In Pitram filters can be setup and customized on all main tokens (Locations, Equipment, People) to ensure all the sites data can be quickly navigated and selected in a timely fashion.

Some example filter setups are as follows:

Location = Filter by mine area, then by location type, then display location
People = Filter by employer, then by crew, then display people
Equipment = Filter by function, then display equipment

Steps:

• We can define our filters in data acquisition through the highlighted section below

           

• From there you can select the menu that you’d like to setup filters for

         

• For example, a trucks and loaders panel would have all its options/filters under the “Equipment Menu” tab and a personnel window would have its filters available under the “Person Menu” tab.
• Looking at an example, we’ll use the equipment menu and select the “Allocated to Location” option from the dropdown

         

• The left-hand side will show available attributes for filtering. These are all defined in reference data. Items on the right-hand side are the attributes that are currently being used for filters. The right-hand side list is ordered. In this instance, MineArea and then LocType.
• The result from this setup is as follows

         

The same process applies for applying filters across the whole of Data Acquisition.

NOTE: Ensure attributes selected are in use before you try to filter based on them, for example, if your operation does not track CapOp then filtering by CapOp will not filter anything.
