Common Rule Examples

  1. Overview
  2. Run checks on all rows using a wildcard subject
  3. PhaseOthers should be empty
  4. UserPhase must match PhaseNumber
  5. On Hold warning field should normally be empty
  6. Material determines valid Finish
  7. AssemblyPrefix must start with PhaseNumber

On Hold warning field should normally be empty

Problem

In this system, the fabricator field is used to mark special warnings such as parts on hold.

Any part property can be used here, but examples here use fabricator.

Under normal conditions this field should remain empty. Model objects with queries support comments to be added for future reference.

When combined with model view representation settings, parts with these notes can be highlighted in pink to be immediately identifiable.

Combining multiple UDAs can allow numerous notes to be added to each part, and therefore, ObChecked can display these same notes.

Strategy

Check whether the fabricator column contains a value.

If a value exists, the rule flags the row and displays the message stored in a hidden column.

Rule Structure

Subject: PHASE.OTHERS

Match: Wildcard *

Target: fabricator

Conditions: (None)

Minimal Tree

Subject: PHASE.OTHERS
  Match: *
    Target: fabricator [Direct: CellValueEmpty], 
    - Otherwise message: Part noted {fabricator}, {USER_FIELD_1}

Example Results

fabricator User Field 1 Result Message
HOLD Check baseplate on site Error Part noted HOLD, Check baseplate on site
(empty) (empty) Okay (empty)

Explanation

This rule checks whether the warning field contains a value.

If a warning is present, the audit message displays the associated message stored in USER_FIELD_1.

Notes

Hidden columns can be referenced in audit messages even when they are not visible in the main table.

Although this check has nothing to do with PHASE.OTHERS, it is safe to use any column for any target that needs to run on all rows, as long as OnMatch and OnNoMatch are both set to None in the Match node.
