Is a Data Set in Use?

Before you modify a data source or data set, it is important to determine
whether it is being used in another display or symbol. FactoryTalk
Historian calculation data sets and ODBC data sets are established for an
entire ProcessBook (or an independent display). Custom data sets are
installed with the FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook application and are
available to any display that you open.

1. Click Tools > Data Sets. The Data Sets dialog box appears.

2. Under Data Sets, click the data set name, then click Show Use. The

Data Set Use dialog box appears and displays where the data set is
being used.

Data Set Details

Each Data Set is initially determined from a Data Source that must already
be configured. If the Data Source you need is not listed, click Setup to add
it.

Once the Data Source is selected, add the query. If the Design button is
unavailable you must type in the query. If MS Query is installed correctly,
the Design button will not be unavailable. Click it to design the query.

You can check syntax after you add the query. Including question marks
(?) in the query allows placeholders to be defined.

If you wish to use placeholders from FactoryTalk Historian in your query,
establish them by clicking the Placeholder button and completing the
process on the Placeholder dialog box.
