Document Management

For example you can include a dynamic document into an object type of the
ProcessObjExtLib delivered with of AC 800M connectivity to make it possible to
get a snapshot status of the object for maintenance or operation documentation
purposes. Assumption is that the Library is closed or released.
The principal steps to include a dynamic document for into a Process Object object
type are as follows:
1. Select the object type in the Object Type Structure.
2. Create a Document aspect, by default the Document aspect will be inherited to
the instances.
3. Via the aspect context menu item Edit set the corresponding template, for
example a blank Word document.
4. Then edit the document content: Texts, graphical parts and dynamic parts. For
the dynamic parts you insert the corresponding property references via
Document Manager > Insert Property Reference(s) or the corresponding
context menu item. You can select properties of the other aspects of the object
or of objects relative to your object. The properties can also be OPC properties
of control aspects. Note that the Insert Property Reference(s) dialog can only
support you if the Structures, Objects and object properties you want to
reference are existing. Otherwise you may have to evaluate the needed
Reference String by building a prototype in another structure.
5. Check in the document using aspect context menu item Checkin.
6. Create an Object Type Extension Definition if you want to change the default
instantiation behavior of your Document aspect, for example to Copy to all
instances. This is required if the document content shall be saved per instance.
7. When instantiating the object type the object instance now gets the additional
Document aspect.
8. When you open the document it gets updated with the instance specific values
retrieved by the property references. In a Graphic Display of Operator
Workplace you can view the document from the object context menu of the
Graphic Element for the object the document is contained in.
The steps before assumed that a fitting template was already available. To create an
own template you have to perform the following steps:
