FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook allows you to create custom
placeholders for a symbol based on a summary Data Set or a FactoryTalk
Historian Tag placeholder in an ODBC data set. Placeholders are not allowed
for expression Data Sets. The Custom Placeholders button in symbol
definition dialog box boxes allows you to specify different FactoryTalk
Historian Tags for a FactoryTalk Historian Summary Data Set or ODBC data
set with a FactoryTalk Historian Tag placeholder. The change applies only to
the configured symbol. See
Add or Edit Placeholders (page 259) for details.
Build a Trend with Multiple Plots
For new trend symbols, you can add multiple plots at the same time so that
many trends are created, configured and placed on the display without
dragging additional symbols on the display. Once the plots are created they
are no longer associated in any way and are configured, moved, and sized
individually.
1. Follow the steps to create a trend (page 104).
2. To create additional plots, click New Plot and select tags. Repeat as
necessary. To view the tags you have selected, you can select each plot
name in the Plot box.
3. To adjust the arrangement matrix for the plots you are creating, click
the Layout tab (page 115).
These matrix options are available only when you create the trend and
cannot be edited later. However, you can revise the traces and other trend
properties on each plot individually.
Move a Plot
If you have created more than one plot in the trend, you can move each
plot separately.
