[Pansophy] New Electron Beam Weld General Traveller, Misc

[Adam O'Brien]

Megan/Pansophy Team,

I have the traveler mostly completed, a few questions:

(1) Is it possible to have a modifiable drop-down list?  I want to choose the material type via drop-down, but since we don't know every material we will be welding in the future, it would be helpful if we could add items to it (perhaps via a final option of "Add.." which opens a pop-up, or using a text box in the traveler)?  That value would then appear in the current and future instantiations of the traveler.

(2) Is it possible to add a button titled "Carry over from previous record" that will populate the current (new) record with data from the previous entry?  We tend to do a lot of repeat work, either when doing production runs, or when doing development work we only change 1 or 2 things at a time, it would make things simpler to not have to re-fill the entire entry each time.  If having a button to do that isn't possible, can we have new records automatically fill in with data from the previous when instantiated?

(3) Should the <<NOTE>> field type be used in addition to the actual desired data field type, or by itself? (Should it be "<<NOTE>> Integer value that calculates based on blah blah blah" or "<<INTEGER>><<NOTE>> Calculate based on blah blah blah")

(4) Can this traveler have a searchable table view for looking at all the information, similar to how Primes works?

(5) As I mentioned previously, we have been collecting this data already in an excel spreadsheet, will it be possible to directly upload that data into the traveler, or will we need to go through and create records for each of our previous welds?

(6....and final) Where should I upload the traveler for approvals, since it's not directly associated with any specific project?  SRF common procedures?


Thanks for the help!

Adam,



That sounds great! An example of a past EBW traveler is in Pansophy under SRF > STP called STP-EBW-WELD if you want to use that for reference. I have attached the authorship guide for writing travelers in this email and there are other resources available on the bottom left of the Pansophy home page. It seems like you have a pretty good feel for what you want but we are always here to help if you need! If you would prefer a meeting for a “how-to” or for assistance on the writing, don’t hesitate to ask! We will be happy to have EBW data back on Pansophy!



Megan

Pansophy Team,

I would like to work on re-integrating our EBW information into Pansophy.  It seems after reviewing what information I can find that previous systems were only used sometimes, stored in multiple locations, and generally were more of a step confirmation ("Yes I welded this") than a way to gather any meaningful data ("I welded this using these parameters, this program, on this material, and this was the result").  For the past few months we have been collecting the data relevant to us in an excel spreadsheet stored on docushare (here<https://jlabdoc.jlab.org/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-229748/EBW%20Data.xlsx>).  I have an a pretty good idea of how I'd like things to work moving forward and some features of a general traveler that I'd like to integrate, most of which I've seen in other areas of Pansophy/Primes.  If you'd like to setup a meeting to discuss this, please do, otherwise let me know and I can outline my thoughts via email (I know the team isn't big and it seems like you guys are in every meeting, so I don't want to take up too much of your time).



Thank you,
