How to find a step measurements full path - Step Measurement Path

This article will describe how you can find the step measurement path for a specific step measurement. This path is required for using the measurements widget in the dashboard, the measurement alarms as well as some functions in our APIs.

Root Step

The first part of all measurement paths in WATS is the root step, which is always MainSequence Callback. This part of the path is sometimes omitted in the OI to save space, but when using the step measurement path as a parameter you always need to include this.

SubSequences

After the root sequence step, any number of substeps may occur before the step and measurement name. The root sequence, sub sequences and step name are all separated by slash(/) character.
MainSequence Callback/SubSequence 1/Next SubSequence/Measurement

Note that when using the REST-API you will need to replace the (/)-character of the path with the paragraph sympol (¶).

Multi steps and measurement names

In the dashboard widgets, measurements belonging to multi-steps can be analyzed individually by appending the measurement name to the step path, separated by //.

Finding the step measurement path in the Step Details View

In the Step details view, the Filter and info view lists the step paths for all step measurements included in the analysis. Each step path is displayed with a Copy to clipboard button, allowing you to easily copy the step measurement path of a specific step.

In addition, the Copy all to clipboard button in the step path list header copies all step paths to the clipboard as a semicolon-separated list.
