Exclusions

Exclusions are a straightforward method to exclude specific data from a reading type of a facility for a defined time period. This ensures that the excluded data does not impact reports or other analytical contexts. Here's a step-by-step guide on setting up and managing exclusions.

Preparation: Setting Up Exclusions

1. Navigate to the Formula
Go to the formula within the company admin of the targeted reading type for the facility where you want to apply exclusions.

2. Enable Exclusions
Tick the box labeled "Skip calculation for exclusion periods."
(Important: This step must be done before exclusions can be applied.)

3. Activate the Formula
Ensure that the formula is active within the Digital Twin of the facility.

Adding Exclusions

1. Access the Log Book
Navigate to the facility’s Log Book in the platform.

2. Create a New Exclusion

• • Click on "New Log Entry."
  • Provide a name for the exclusion. (E.g., "Maintenance Period Exclusion.")
  • Select the type as "Exclusion."

3. Select the Facility
Choose the facility where the exclusion should be applied (with the exclusion-enabled formula).

4. Define the Time Period

Set the start and end times for the exclusion period.
(Future timeframes can also be set; data generated in these periods will automatically be excluded.)

5. Optional Notes
Add any relevant notes for additional context or documentation.

6. Choose Exclusion Type
Select a type of exclusion for categorization purposes. (This choice does not affect functionality but helps maintain clarity and organization.)

7. Save the Exclusion
Click "Create" to finalize the exclusion.

Exclude Alert Groups

• Navigate to the Alerts tab

• There you will see a list of triggered, grouped alarms.

• Under Actions, click on to create an exclusion for the respective alarm group
• Enter a Title, select a Type and then click on Create.
• Under Actions, click on [+number Alerts] to open the respective alarm group and see an overview of the individual alerts.
• Click on the “View exclusion” icon for the desired alarm under Actions 
  icon to open the associated logbook entry.

Viewing and Managing Exclusions

• Overview
  In the Log Book, exclusions are displayed alongside other entries. You can review details such as the name, type, and time period.

• Deleting Exclusions
  If you need to remove an exclusion, delete it from the Log Book.
  (This will reset the data to its previous state, as if the exclusion had never been applied.)
