Control Strategy Property: list

2. Control Strategy Property: list
This list contains the target Control Strategy properties that were defined using the Import Wizard.
 
When your Control Conversion project files are created, this set of target properties is used to create the Control Property Template file.  A Control Binding Template file will also be created that binds your Excel DataSource columns to properties defined in this list.  This Workflow will attempt to automatically bind same named Excel columns and Control Strategy properties.  If you choose to name data columns in your Excel Worksheet that do not fit the expected target Control Strategy properties, then you may have to manually establish the bindings in the generated Control Binding Template file.

Define Target Properties: button

3. Define Target Properties: button
Click this button to invoke the Import Wizard that allows you to choose the Control Strategy that will be used to define the target Control Template properties.  This Import Wizard allows you to select an existing PKS XML CM Configuration file, an Entity from an EB file, an Entity from a SCADA PNT export file to use as the basis for defining your target Control properties.  The configuration entity that is chosen here is then defined as the BasedOn Template that is subsequently used to build or edit Control strategies.
 
When your Control Conversion project files are created, this set of target properties is used to create the Control Property Template file.

Primary Key: button

4. Primary Key: button
Click this button to specify the selected Control Property as the source of the data that uniquely identifies the data contained in this Control Strategy.  This will typically be Property that specifies the name or BlockName of the new Control Strategy or Control Module.
 
There must be a Primary Key defined for a single Control Property.  Failure to specify a Primary Key will result in your Data Collection execution failing.
