Saving the values of a KPI in a variable
The values of a KPI can be restored to a variable. The values are available for more calculations and visualizations even in other apps.
Saving KPI values
To save the values of a KPI in a variable, proceed as follows:
-
Open a KPI from the parameter list for editing.
-
Select the corresponding option in the "Saving KPI values" tab.
-
Select the variable in which the values are saved.
- or -
Create a new variable.
-
Select a cycle.
-
Select the start time at which saving should start.
-
To end saving of the KPI values, disable the option.
Creating a new variable for saving the KPI values
When you create a new variable, observe the following:
-
The variable must receive a unique name that has not yet been used.
-
The variable must be assigned to an aspect.
-
The variable is created in Asset Management.
-
Additional costs are incurred per variable. Note that aspects can be used multiple times.
