FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook User Guide

40

When you create and save a new ProcessBook, the application initially
gives it the title Book1, where 1 represents the number of ProcessBooks
created during the current session.

FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook also creates a file name for the new
ProcessBook. It suggests the first word from your title and an extension of
.piw. For example, FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook may suggest
Filtrat1.PIW. If you plan to build an entire set of ProcessBooks, you
might choose to modify it in Windows Explorer to sort your set of
ProcessBooks in some meaningful order, such as 05FiltrP.PIW.

1. In Build mode, click File > New. The New dialog box appears.

2. Select ProcessBook (.piw) File.

3. Under ProcessBook Name, type a name for the new book.

4. Click OK.

A new ProcessBook appears.

If you typed a name in the ProcessBook Name box, then the name appears

on the ProcessBook title bar. If you did not type a name, then the default title

Book1

appears on the title bar.
