Using a Report

Writing to a Point

You can write to points from these report types: All Points, All Points By Device, Manual Override, and Out of Range.

Using the simplified method

  1. From the report's Actions column, in the row of a writable point, select Set Value/Clear Override .

    Note: A window opens with the device and point name.

  2. Enter or select a new value.

  3. Select Write Priority [Default].

    Note: The priority given here is the Default Manual Write Priority, configured in Settings > Protocols.

    Note: The value will be written for the duration of the Manual Write Timeout (default None), configured in Settings > Protocols.

Using Advanced Settings

  1. From the report's Actions column, in the row of a writable point, select Set Value/Clear Override .

  2. Enter or select a new value.

  3. Select Show Advanced Settings, which expands to allow you to:

    • Select a Write Priority from the dropdown menu.

    • Select a Write Timeout from the dropdown menu.

    Note: Write should be selected by default (for Write Value or Clear Slot).

    Note: A history of the current and previous 10 reads of the priority array displays below. Scroll to the right to view all 10. The interval of the time stamps is partly determined by the Read Priority Array Wait Interval (Minutes).

  4. Select Write Priority _.

    Note: It may take some time for the point on the device to change to the new value so that the report shows the change. See also the Read Time After Point Writes (Seconds), configured in Settings > Protocols.
