Adding a Batch to an Existing Campaign
You may occasionally want to add a batch to an existing campaign. This can easily be
accomplished with RSBizWare BatchCampaign. When a new batch is added to an
existing campaign, the Campaign Amount is the default value already in the campaign
and the Start Trigger is set to None.
1. To add a batch to an existing campaign, select the desired campaign in the hierarchy
pane.
Filter You can filter what equipment is available for the individual units simply
by typing in a filter string criteria.
? = Any single character
* = Zero or more characters
# = Any single digit (0-9)
Bound Unit You can bind a unit to a unit alias simply by picking one from the
dropdown list.
If previously specified in the FactoryTalk Batch Recipe Editor, you will
not only have the units available for binding, but two more options,
<prompt> and <first available>. The prompt option will prompt you to
choose a unit when the previous phase is complete. The first available
option will not prompt you, but use the first available unit when the
previous phase is complete.
Campaign Amount The total amount in the campaign (view only).
Back Go back to the previous dialog box.
Create Create the campaign.
Cancel Cancel the campaign creation.
If FactoryTalk Batch has AutoBatchID enabled when you create a campaign, BatchCampaign
calls the AutoBatchID execute one time, and what is returned becomes the Campaign ID. Each
batch in the campaign gets a batch ID of the Campaign ID with a suffix denoting the number the
batch is within the campaign.
For example, if a campaign with 5 batches is created, and the AutoBatchID call returns
BATCHID_040703, the campaign ID will be BATCHID_040703, and the batch IDs will be
BATCHID_040703.01, BATCHID_040703.02, BATCHID_040703.03, BATCHID_040703.04 and
BATCHID_040703.05.
These values can be edited, if desired.
Be sure that the actual campaign to which you want to add the batch is selected. Otherwise, the
batch will be added to the batch list and will not be associated with the campaign.
