The starting point of gathering custom-parameter data is to tag a job with the applicable custom parameter(s). Machine operators will see these parameters values in the machine dashboard and job list if thus configured.
For monitoring and analysis purposes, custom parameters are added to the lists of parameters.
Tagging the job with custom parameters
All the system's custom parameters are shown in the job's Custom parameters tab.
Tag the job with custom parameters applicable to it by setting the values for those parameters.
Note: Custom parameter values can be set at any point of the job cycle. The latest value applied, either manually or via data sync, is the value in use.
Inserting custom parameters in machine Online tiles
To display the value of the custom parameter in machine tiles:
Click the machine tile's edit icon.
Click the edit icon within the cell.
