Data Entry Control (version 23)

1. Tag Name
2. Entry value to be committed
3. Entry time to be committed with value. Timestamps can be relative or actual. (ex. now, now - 5minutes, day + 3h, January 1, 2021 12:01 AM)
4. Current value of tag
5. Current timestamp of the value
6. Button to commit entries

General

The 'DATA ENTRY' control allows users to manually upload data to the historian. It can be used to...

1. Write new data
2. Overwrite preexisting data (provided the timestamps are exact)
3. Insert historical data

Any values written to the historian using the data entry control are accompanied with audit information including the user who committed the entry and the date/time when it was committed.

The Axiom Core uses the local Sender service to write these values to the historian. With that in mind, a tag cannot be updated using this tool if the tag is being currently logged from the same local Sender.

Configuration & Permissions

In order to write changes via the local Sender service, the 'Net.TCP - Windows' endpoint (55257) must be enabled within the Canary Admin>Sender tile>Configuration tab>Endpoints.

Add users/usergroups to the 'ALLOW' list by selecting the 'Access' tab on the left-hand side. Users who are not included on this list will receive the following error if trying to commit changes.

The Data Entry control is only available to admin users when creating applications. Once the application is saved though, other users (who have access to that application) may be able to use it. Even then, the majority of the control's properties are limited to admins.
