React: Splitting Multiple Downtimes

Resources

Loom Video

Product Version History

Purpose of this Feature

This enhancement allows users to split a single downtime into multiple parts from one operation, making it easier to accurately categorize long downtimes that had multiple causes.

Problems it solves:

• Previously, splitting was limited to 2 parts only
• No quick way to find newly created downtimes after splitting — users had to manually search for each one
• Long downtimes with multiple causes required multiple split operations

Who benefits:

• Production operators labeling downtimes with multiple root causes
• Supervisors reviewing and categorizing extended downtime events
• Anyone managing downtime data accuracy

Key Functionalities and Workflows

Capabilities:

• Split a single downtime into up to 5 parts (4 splits + original)
• Add or remove splits from a single modal
• Input duration for each split in hours and minutes
• Real-time calculation of remaining time
• Quick Filter button to immediately view all newly created downtimes

Validation:

• Sum of all splits must be less than total downtime duration
• Each split must have a duration greater than 0
• Submit button is disabled until all validations pass

Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

Split a Downtime

1. Navigate to the Events tab in React, or anywhere a Downtime Split icon is displayed (Summary Tab, Downtime Tab, History Tab)
2. Find the downtime you want to split

3. Click the splitting action button (three dots or similar) on the downtime row

   

4. The split modal opens, showing:

   • Total downtime duration
   • Downtime ID being split
   • First split duration input (hours and minutes)

   

Add Multiple Splits

1. Enter the duration for the first split
2. Click Add another split to add more split points
3. Enter the time for the second split
4. Repeat as needed (up to 4 splits total, resulting in 5 downtimes)
5. The remaining time updates in real-time as you add splits
6. To remove a split, click the X button next to it

Submit and Find New Downtimes

1. Click Submit when all splits are configured
2. A success message appears: "Downtime successfully split into N parts"

3. The new downtime IDs are displayed in a numbered list

   

4. Click Quick Filter to automatically filter the Events tab to show all the new downtimes plus the original

   

Configuration or Setup Requirements

Prerequisites:

• User must have permission to edit downtimes in React
• The downtime must have sufficient duration to split (each resulting segment must be > 0)

Limits:

• Maximum 4 splits per operation (resulting in 5 total downtimes)
• Each split duration must be greater than 0
• Sum of splits must be less than total downtime duration

Expected Outputs or Reports

After splitting:

• Original downtime is replaced by multiple new downtimes
• Each new downtime has its own unique ID
• New downtimes appear in the Events tab
• Downtimes retain their association with the original line/machine and time period

Quick Filter results:

• Events tab is filtered to show all newly created downtime IDs plus the original
• User can immediately begin labeling each segment

FAQ

Q: What happened to the original downtime after splitting? A: The original downtime is replaced by the new split downtimes. The original ID is included in the Quick Filter results for reference.

Q: Can I split a downtime that has already been labeled? A: Yes, but you will need to re-label each of the new downtime segments after splitting.

Q: Why can't I add more than 4 splits? A: The system supports a maximum of 4 splits per operation, resulting in 5 total downtimes. If you need more segments, you can split one of the resulting downtimes again.
