How can I set up an event frame with manual data entry capabilities?

I have added an attribute to the event frame template and set the property to manual data entry.

When I view the event frame in Pi vision i can see the input attribute but I cant figure out how I can save the input value.

 

Has anyone else done something similar? Screenshots are bellow.

 

Thanks for the help Slight smile Slight smile

  • Maybe an employee or customer support could provide a more detailed answer from what I'm about to give, but here's what I know. "Properties" of AF Attributes are more descriptive than anything. Some of them, like "Configuration Item" do change the way the AF Service actually handles the Attributes though.

     

    Now, I do see why you would think that you could enter data for a "Manual Data Entry" point via PI Vision with that flag enabled (Manual Data Entry attribute property (aveva.com)), however, entering data through PI Vision is not a feature and may not get developed despite the support for it. That being said, based on the documentation link I provided, I would like to know (from AVEVA) how that is supposed to affect Attributes displayed in PI Vision. I tried all of the default symbols, and I do not see where that flag causes the user to know that it is a manual point.
