sailor.assetcentral.location

Location module can be used to retrieve Location information from AssetCentral.

Classes are provided for individual Locations as well as groups of Locations (LocationSet).

class sailor.assetcentral.location.Location(ac_json)[source]

Bases: AssetcentralEntity

AssetCentral Location Object.

Parameters

ac_json (dict) –

classmethod get_available_properties()

Return the available properties for this class.

property id

Return the ID of the object.

class sailor.assetcentral.location.LocationSet(elements)[source]

Bases: AssetcentralEntitySet

Class representing a group of Locations.

as_df(columns=None)

Return all information on the objects stored in the MasterDataEntitySet as a pandas dataframe.

columns can be specified to select the columns (and their order) for the DataFrame.

Parameters

columns (Optional[Iterable[str]]) –

filter(**kwargs)

Select a subset of the collection based on named filter criteria for the attributes of the elements.

All keyword arguments are concatenated as filters with OR operator, i.e., only one of the supplied filters must match for an entity to be selected.

Returns a new AssetcentralEntitySet object.

Return type

MasterDataEntitySet

plot_distribution(by=None, fill=None, dropna=False)

Plot the distribution of elements of a MasterDataEntitySet based on their properties.

This effectively creates a histogram with the number of elements per group on the y-axis, and the group (given by the by parameter) on the x-axis. Additionally, the fill colour of the bar can be used to distinguish a second dimension.

sailor.assetcentral.location.find_locations(*, extended_filters=(), **kwargs)[source]

Fetch Locations from AssetCentral with the applied filters, return a LocationSet.

This method supports the usual filter criteria, i.e. - Any named keyword arguments applied as equality filters, i.e. the name of the Location property is checked against the value of the keyword argument. If the value of the keyword argument is an iterable (e.g. a list) then all objects matching any of the values in the iterable are returned.

Parameters
Return type

LocationSet

Examples

Find all Location with name ‘MyLocation’:

find_locations(name='MyLocation')

Find all Locations which either have the name ‘MyLocation’ or the name ‘MyOtherLocation’:

find_locations(name=['MyLocation', 'MyOtherLocation'])

If multiple named arguments are provided then all conditions have to match.

Example

Find all Locations with name ‘MyLocation’ which also have the location type description ‘Functional Location’:

find_locations(name='MyLocation', type_description='Functional Location')

The extended_filters parameter can be used to specify filters that can not be expressed as an equality. Each extended_filter needs to be provided as a string, multiple filters can be passed as a list of strings. As above, all filter criteria need to match. Extended filters can be freely combined with named arguments. Here, too all filter criteria need to match for a Location to be returned.

Example

Find all Locations with a short description not matching to ‘Location 1’:

find_locations(extended_filters=['short_description != "Location 1"'])
