[Enhancement Request]
The client would like the ability to set the status of CauseCodes to Active (by default) or Disabled (Decommissioned). Over the years, the Rio Tinto IO Perth projects (OCDT, CLBDT) have acquired many Cause Codes, where, due to the need to preserve historical data (Ampla Downtime Records with old cause codes) they are not able to remove these from the project. This extensive list contains 535 cause codes, of which only 165 are relevant to the project.
This lengthy cause code list makes it quite cumbersome when trying to filter records by Cause in PA, so Rio Tinto would like the ability to control what is presented as an 'active list' of cause codes by eliminating the 'decommissioned' codes through a mechanism such as a configurable property per cause code. I have tried stopping cause codes to see if that prevents Ampla from loading them in PA while allowing old records to maintain them - but this is not the case.
Rio Tinto’s request verbatim, below, with an impact statement.
"
This is an Enhancement request for decommissioned Cause Codes to not appear in the Client “Filter on Cause” popup.
This would require:
• In Ampla Studio, an extra property on the Cause Codes to State Active or Decommissioned (Active by default)
• The Ampla Client does not show these decommissioned Cause Codes in the “Filter on Cause” popup
Some background, in 2015 a project was initiated to use the Effect column and new Cause Codes added. The previous Cause Codes were decommissioned:
• Number Causes Codes in 2015: x365 (these were decommissioned)
• Number Cause Codes added in 2015: x165
• Total: x535
The Gudai Darri project will add more Cause Codes in July 2021.
Impact
In the Ampla Client filter builder, it shows the Cause Codes that were decommissioned in 2015 (Ampla WG project to introduce Effects).
This results in the Filter builder being quite messy and more difficult for an End User to find a Cause Code to Filter on.
The Filter on Cause popup shows x535 Cause Codes, when we only need it to show x165.
