Train ID template

​

What this is

Use a simple template to automatically build your Train IDs. Type your pattern and put any “fill-in” parts inside double braces like {{ THIS }}. When the job runs, we replace those parts with real values from the job and date/time.

​

How to write a template

• Write placeholders like {{ JOB_NAME }} or {{ YYYY }}.
• If we can’t find a value for a placeholder, we leave it as-is (you’ll see {{ UNKNOWN }} in the result).

​

Common variables

Date and time (based on the job’s scheduled date/time): From the job:

​

Custom train attributes

You can reference your own train attributes (and other job fields) by name. Just put the name in braces, for example {{ DepartureTime }} or {{ departure_time }}.

• If the attribute is a dropdown/choice, we insert the selected option’s text.
• For everything else, we insert the attribute’s value as text.

​

Copy‑paste examples

• Make a daily ID with the job name and hour:
  • Template: Train-{{ JOB_NAME }}-{{ YYYY }}{{ MM }}{{ DD }}-{{ HH }}
  • Example result: Train-DayShift-20250907-05
• Use month name plus your own field:
  • Template: {{ MMM }} {{ YYYY }} - Line {{ line }}
  • Example result: Sep 2025 - Line S1

​

Troubleshooting

• A placeholder didn’t change? Check the spelling. Different styles like JobName, job_name, or job name are okay, but the words must match the field’s name.
• Not using a blueprint? {{ BLUEPRINT_NAME }} won’t be filled.
