Summary

This block is used to create Niagara history from an artifact. It's usually the last block after calculation blocks based on histories. It will create as many histories as tables contained on the given artifact.

 

Implementation

  • Drag and drop the block from the palette
  • Link the "execute" action from the "executed" topic of the previous block
  • Define the target using SFormat (usually the last artifact)
  • Define the history name, you can use some SFormat. Only the tags that are still present in the tables (the artifact) can be used (So "HistoryDisplayName" won't work for example)

Example

This block creates an history for every usage

 

 Properties

  • Target: SFormat to define the tables to export as histories. One table = One history
  • DeviceName: SFormat to define the name of the folder in the histories
  • HistoryName: SFormat to define the name of the history using its tags. Only the tags that are still present in the tables (the artifact) can be used (So "HistoryDisplayName" won't work for example)
  • HistoryConfig: You can define some general parameters about the history. Tips: you can add in the history config some extra metadata if you want them to appear on the created histories.
