The FactoryTalk Batch View application uses a self-signed certificate created
during the product installation on the server. Modern web browsers are
designed to warn users when they encounter self-signed certificates because
the certificates are not signed by a certificate authority (CA). Self-signed
certificates do provide for secure, encrypted data transmission, but are not
signed by a CA.
When using FactoryTalk Batch View for the first time in a browser, accept a
self-signed certificate for a given session, or permanently store the certificate
in the browser.

Batches
Prompts
Welcome to FactoryTalk Batch View
Use FactoryTalk® Batch View to initiate and control the batch process. A batch
is a running control recipe. The material produced by a single execution of a
recipe is also considered a batch.
• Use Batches to create, view, and command a control recipe, observe the
execution of a single recipe, and bind units for class-based recipes.
• Use Prompts to alert operators to value requests for parameters, unit
binding, material binding, and signatures or manual instructions.

cannot complete execution until the operator provides the requested

Equipment
Diagnostics
Use Equipment for an equipment-centric view of the defined area model. The
FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor defines the equipment that appears.
There are three levels in Equipment displayed: process cell, unit, and phase or
operation sequence. Each level includes run-time data and other information
for each resource. From the phase level, you can view phase-specific
information and run phases or operation sequences manually, independent of
recipes.
• Signatures are requests for signoffs that require user permissions and
optional comments. When a signature is generated against a control
recipe, acknowledge the signature by completing the associated
signoffs. The requested user information in a signature is determined
by the signature template defined in the area model.
• Instructions are individual steps of a manually executed phase. As a
batch executes, the instruction for each active step appears.
Instructions execute in the order specified within the master recipe.
In Equipment, view the area model hierarchy using different views:
•List view (default): Each item lists different values depending on the
window size: either mobile or desktop size. More fields are available in
desktop size.
•Diagram view: Process cells, units, and phases or operation sequences
appear as graphical elements in the area model.
• Zoom in, zoom out, and zoom to fit buttons on the top left of the
diagram view.
• The top right of the diagram view describes which equipment level
is being viewed: process cells, units, or phases/operation sequences.
•Phase Summary view: View all phases or operation sequences for all
units in all process cells at once in a list type view.
Use Diagnostics to view server and service status, server performance, server
statistics, batch event journals, and arbitration information.
•Status - view version and connection information for the FactoryTalk
Batch View, FactoryTalk Batch Server, FactoryTalk Services,
eProcedure Server, and FactoryTalk Activation. Displays the status of
configured data servers and services.
•Server - view server performance, hardware, and software
information.
•Statistics - view information on connections, equipment model file
name and save time, and perform tag verification.
