Key Value Type Default Value Description
TableName string The table name. This should be a table defined in Pinpoint Server for the database containing the line.
ModelNumberColumnName string The optional name of the column containing model number patterns used to find the row containing parameters for a specific unit.
ModelNumberAliasColumnName string The optional name of the column containing model number alias patterns used to find the row containing parameters for a specific unit.
SerialNumberColumnName string The optional name of the column containing serial number patterns used to find the row containing parameters for a specific unit.
Components collection of UnitParametersComponentMatch Section empty The collection of component definitions used to find the row containing parameters for a specific unit.
ColumnMappings collection of UnitParametersColumnMapping Section empty The collection of column mappings.

When looking up workflow parameters for a unit using this table, the following rules apply:

  1. If there is no unit at the station, no parameters will ever be provided from this table.
  2. For a given unit at the station, the first row in this table that matches the unit will be used to provide parameters. If no rows match the unit, no parameters will be provided from this table. Only one row will be used to provide parameters, even if multiple rows match the unit.
  3. Unit numbers and unit component numbers taken from the specified table columns are trimmed of leading and trailing white-space characters.
  4. If a row cell value in a unit match column or unit component match column is empty, then it will be treated as an empty wildcard pattern which will only match empty values; thus it will never match any unit serial or model number, so parameters in that row will never be used. If the intention is to accept any unit number for that row, be sure to use a "*" wildcard pattern in the table cell.
  5. If no unit match columns or unit component match columns are configured, then the first row in the table will be used to provide parameters. Always be sure to configure at least one unit column name or unit component column name for matching.
