How to create data sheets from log groups

Use log groups to create data sheets not associated with a particular business process such as a sales or purchase order. For example, you may want to record the temperature of a warehouse bin periodically. In such a scenario, create a data collection line for the bin and then assign a log group to it.

You can instruct the program to create data sheets from log groups. A data sheet consists of the data collection lines to which the log group has been assigned.

Steps

1. In the search box, enter Data Collection Log Groups, and then choose the related link.

2. Select the log group for which you want to create data sheets.

3. On the Actions tab, in the General group, choose Data Sheets. The Data Sheets page appears.

4. On the Actions tab, in the New Document group, choose Create Data Sheets. The Create Data Sheets page appears.

   The upper portion of the Create Data Sheets page displays each location to which the log group has been assigned. A separate data sheet can be created for each location. When you select a location, every record with defined data collection lines assigned to the location appears on the Entities FastTab. For example, if a location's zones and bins all have defined receiving data collection lines, each of these records appears on the Entities FastTab. By default, all locations and entities are initially selected for inclusion in the new data sheets.

5. Clear the Include field for any locations and entities you do not want included in the new data sheets.

6. Choose OK.

The program creates a new data sheet for every selected location. Each data sheet consists of the lines selected in the Create Data Sheets page. New data sheets appear in the Data Sheets page.
