Create New Observation Flow

Explanation

This activity is used to create a new Observation Flow. The definition of an observation is created through this activity, and contains the necessary information and describes what an observation that is received from the Discovery environment is expected to contain.

To create new Observation Flow:

  1. Open the Observation Flow page.
  2. Create a new record.
  3. Enter the observation code, as it will be received from the discovery environment.
  4. Enter a description of your choice for the observation.
  5. Enable option "Review Manually" if you wish the received observations to be manually reviewed by a person. These observation will not be automatically processed by the system. They need someone to review and, if approved, execute the defined operations for the observation.
               5.1 If an observation should be manually reviewed, click on the Manual Review Details tab.
               5.2 Enter the identity of the user that should receive a task to manually review the observation, or choose from drop- down.
               5.3 Enter a subject of your choice to alert the user what is required.
               5.4 Choose Priority of the review task from the drop-down.
               5.5 Enter a Message so that the receiving user understands what to do.
  6. Save. The static attributes will now be automatically created and shown.
  7. Click and choose 'Publish as Event'.
  8. In the tab Observation Fields, enter the dynamic attributes that is received with the observation from the discovery environment.
               8.1 Create a new record.
               8.2 Enter the name of the attribute, as received from the discovery environment, that holds the value.
               8.3 Enter the type of the attribute by selecting from the drop-down - is it a number, a string or a date.
               8.4 (Optional) Enter a description of your choice for the parameter - what is in the observation field?
               8.5 Repeat steps 8.1 to 8.4 for all attributes that are received in the observation. It's possible to enter up to five (5) attributes of each type.
               8.6 Save.

Clean up:

By this option, the system will automatically remove completed or ignored observations of a certain age. Our recommendation is that observations with state Error, that will not or can not be corrected, are set to Ignored.

  1.  Open Observation Flow page.
  2. Click on the Settings tab and click on edit, and choose an 'Yes' from the drop-down if you want to include the observation code in the automatic cleanup.
  3. Enter the number of days to keep observations before removal.
  4. Save.
