Hi there

I use ProcessBook 3.2.0.0 and is trying to create a batch group with a search field and 4 trends and up to 10 PI-tags showing in each trend. This is probably a bit different from the usual approach where one PI-tag is compared between 2 or more batches. The different PI-tags are distinguished with full/dottet/dashed etc. lines - all with the same color... a bit like this:



And this is a preview of my total setup.

I only need to show one (or on rare occations 2) batches at a time, but I need to clearly distinguish between the curves of each PI-tag within the same trend display.

So I would like to acchieve something where each PI-tag+line has its one line-color, and when/if I select a second batch this will be shown with the same color code, but with dashed lines instead.

So within the same trend display you'll have:

PI-tag1, batch1: ------
PI-tag2, batch1: ------
PI-tag3, batch1: ------
PI-tag1, batch2: - - - -
PI-tag2, batch2: - - - -
PI-tag3, batch2: - - - -

Does this make sense? And how do I acchieve it?

And second: As the PI-tags them self has very little meaningful names, I would rather have the description shown in the legend instead of the PI-tag it self. I haven't seen a way to do this in a batchgroup, whereas if I just make a single trenddisplay within a processbook I can get them to show this and also change colors to my liking.

I hope someone can help :-)

Oh forgot to say, use alias's instead of direct references to tags, that way you can reference things by a "description". For example, if you have a tag TI-1234, and its a temperature on a tank, create an alias that says "Tank ABC Temp". The alias will now show on the trend instead of the tag name. Simples!
