Is there a way to track which user changed the setting of a Point?
-
I used to see which user changed a point setting in Annotation, but not any more. (but perhaps that was on another installation). And would there be a way to pull that data through the API?
Thanks

I upgraded from 2.8 to 3.2 and to my pleasure the annotation of a point started showing again:
Value Time Annotation
0 13:23:18 Set from web by user: admin
1 10:40:50 User: admin
0 Oct 06 17:54 Set from web by user: Chatrin
1 Oct 06 09:18 Set from web by user: Chatrin
0 Oct 05 15:09 Set from web by user: Chatrin
1 Oct 04 13:06 Set from web by user: admin
0 Oct 03 16:52 Set from web by user: Chatrin
1 Oct 03 14:43 Set from web by user: admin
0 Oct 02 09:36
1 Oct 02 09:31Yes, I upgraded on Oct 2nd.
This leaves me even more eager to to get Annotation through the API. Any suggestion on how to do that in an official "Mango Way"?

Hi Balistar,
I'm a little surprised at the question: annotations are returned with point values through the /rest/v1/point-values
Are you talking about the angular directives? Is there a specific directive?
-
Hi Phil, I know I can get it by writing a .js to get annotation from the json array that is returned with a REST API GET.
function(data) { return data.annotation; }But I was hoping that something like
{{myPoint.annotation }}would be available.

@balistar Annotations are a property of point values, not points. You can display an annotatation for a point value using notation like
{{ pointValues[0].annotation }}(where pointValues is an array). You will not get annotations when you use rollups. -
Thanks Jared. Works perfectly. Now it seems that only some data point values automatically record in annotation the user who set the point e.g.
Oct 11 17:24 Set from web by user: Chatrin .
Most data points value do not record the user name who set the point. I can't find a setting in edit Point details or Point Source regarding this. Mango must somehow make a data point value record the point change annotation or not.
Any suggestions?

@Balistar I'm not really following.
Point values which are recorded from a remote device e.g. polling a modbus slave will not contain an annotation. Setting a point's value via the UI should record an annotation.
