FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook User Guide

If you need to move the original entry to another directory or

ProcessBook, you must redefine the link between the ProcessBooks. If you

move both the original and the linked item and the relationship between the
two file paths is unchanged, you do not need to relink.

Linked ProcessBook Entries

Similar to a Linked Display, a Linked ProcessBook entry is a link to a
different ProcessBook. When you open a linked ProcessBook entry,
another ProcessBook is opened. You may open any of the entries in that
ProcessBook. Using a Linked ProcessBook entry is the same as opening a
ProcessBook using the Open command on the File menu.

The same rules apply to Linked ProcessBook entries as to Linked entries.

Move Linked Entries

If you move a linked pair of displays or ProcessBooks to another location
and if this move changes the relationship of the two file paths, you need to
relink the items.

Operating System Command Entry

An operating system command is used to start another application, such as
Microsoft Excel, in addition to FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook.
Essentially, any command that you can successfully execute with the
Windows Run command can be used as an Operating System Command
entry in a ProcessBook.

For example, you can use an operating system command to link to
FactoryTalk Historian DataLink reports or calculations. You can also
create links to CAD drawings, modeling packages, or statistics packages.
Links to displays saved as SVG files are treated as Operating System
Command entries.
