12.5.4 Setting the information to be assigned to managed items

This subsection describes how to set the information to be assigned to managed items in Activity Designer's Task conditions. By setting the information that is assigned to managed items, you set the information to be updated by tasks added to Use tasks, the method for identifying the target of the processing, and the range of loop processing.

To display Task conditions, select a desired task from Use tasks, and then click the Edit button. From the list of Managed items, select the item to be processed, and then set the assigned item.

Managed items displays the information managed in the asset management database (in the format class.property), the item for identifying the target of the selected task process, and the item for setting a range of loop processing. From the displayed Managed items, you set the assigned items as needed. Make sure that you set the items identified by a star ([Figure]) in the Managed items field.

If you have selected *Loop start as Use tasks, select Loop target before setting an assigned item. For details about how to specify settings when *Loop start is selected as Use tasks, see 12.5.4(2) Setting the details of loop processing.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Setting assigned items for tasks

Clicking the Browse button for each assigned item displays the Assigned Setting From Screen dialog box. The following figure shows an example of the Assigned Setting From Screen dialog box.

[Figure]

This dialog box lists the items that are set automatically and the management names that were defined in the Item window. Select the information that you wish to assign to each managed item.

Select one of the following assigned items that are displayed in the Assigned Setting From Screen dialog box:

Note

If the assigned value is null, when the Item is processed, the null value is used for updating. However, an error results if the null value is assigned to a mandatory managed item.

(2) Setting the details of loop processing

This subsection describes how to set assigned items when the *Loop start and *Loop end tasks are added to Activity Designer's Use tasks.

When a single task is to be repeated, such as when multiple devices are to be registered or deleted, *Loop start and *Loop end are used to set the range of the repetitive task. The number of times one task is to be repeated is set in Task conditions.

Set the repetition count in Task conditions, which is displayed by selecting *Loop start from Use tasks, and then click the Edit button.

After selecting the target to be repeatedly executed in Loop target, specify an assigned item from the Browse button.

The following describes the value to be selected in Loop target and how to set the assigned item:

(3) Information set in a managed item to which no value is assigned

When no assigned item has been set or when value acquisition fails, a value is set automatically in some items. The following table shows these items and the values that are set.
