Home Tab

The Home tab is the main tab in Reports.

Insert Group Box

The Insert Group Box provides the following UI components that can be added to a report:

 

Table Group Box

This box lists the tables such as Objects, Activities, Events, and so on that you can add to the report. It is recommended that you have a maximum of ten tables in a single report. If you need more than ten tables, then you must create multiple reports. Tables in a Report Definition can contain a huge number of records which cannot be viewed at the same time. Reporting incorporates a paging mechanism that optimizes the number of records that display in a table. The configured height of a table in the Layout tab determines the number of records that display. Following is a list of tables that you can add to the report.

Select Columns Dialog Box

When you add a table to a report, you can add, remove, or delete columns from the Select Columns dialog box.

Select Columns Dialog Box Components

 

Description

Parent tab

Allows you to add, remove, or reorder Parent columns in the table.

Object Type

(Displays only for a Point table) Lists the object collection. When an object is selected in the Object Type drop-down list, all the associated properties are listed in the Available Columns list.

Type filter

(Displays only for an Objects table) Allows you to enter the object type description on which you want to filter the object types to be displayed in the Type drop-down list. For example, if you want the Type drop-down list to display all BACnet object types, enter BACnet as the type filter.

Type

(Displays only for an Objects table) Displays the list of object types available in the system. You must select the object type whose columns are to be displayed in the Available columns field.
NOTE: In case of a distributed system, the Type drop-down list displays the Object Models of only the current system on which the report is configured.

Load

(Displays only for an Objects table) Click this button to populate the Available columns list with the columns corresponding to the selected object type in the Type list.

Available columns

Displays the following information:

  • Common columns applicable to any type of object. These are listed at the top of the list. For example, Discipline, Object Name, Object Description, and so on.
  • Columns referring to properties supported by the selected object type. These are listed after the common columns and have a tree structure. When you click any such column, the tree expands and displays the attributes of the property. For example, if you click the expander of the Current_Priority property, its attributes such as Archive, Activity Log, Min, Max, Default, and so on display.
    NOTE: View-specific columns such as Source Location and Source Designation are dynamically added to the Available columns list when you create a new view.

Selected Columns

Displays the mandatory columns of a selected table. You can add columns to the selected columns list by selecting the check box associated with each column in the Available Columns list.

Select Default

Selects the default columns in the Available Columns list.

Clear All

Unchecks all columns except mandatory columns. The Selected Columns list displays only mandatory columns.

Move Up

Moves the selected column one step up in the Selected Columns list. The Move Up button is unavailable if you select the column on the top.

Move Down

Moves the selected column one step down in the Selected Columns list. The Move Down button is unavailable if you select the column at bottom.

Remove

Removes the selected column from the Selected Columns list.

Sorting Data in Tables

Sorting allows you to arrange data in a table in the ascending or descending order. Sorting priority depends on the order in which the column headers are clicked. You can sort the table columns in Edit mode as well as in Run mode. If you sort the table columns in Edit mode, then the sorted data displays in Run mode according to the sort criteria specified in Edit mode. When sorting is applied on an executed report, data in the current snapshot is sorted.

In Activities, Events and Event Details tables, you cannot sort columns such as type, sub-type, discipline, object name, object description or object location. In Trends tables, you can only sort the Date column. By default, whenever you insert a Trends table there is an ascending sort on the Date column.

NOTE:
You cannot perform sorting during report execution. You can continue sorting after report execution is complete or is stopped.

Plot Group Box

A plot displays data in a graphical view. The Plot group box contains different graphic elements from different data sources such as Trends and Graphics.

Graphics Plot

You can drag any graphics definition or manual view port from System Browser onto a Report Definition to insert a graphics plot. This inserts a placeholder graphics plot and sets the Name filter to the dragged and dropped object.

When you execute a report containing a graphics plot, it displays the graphic image associated with the dragged and dropped object. If the object is not present in any of the graphics definitions, then an error message displays in the report management section.

Values are displayed as per value scaled units (if configured). For more information, see Value Scale Units.

Trends Plot

You can drag a Trend View Definition from System Browser onto a Report Definition to insert a trends plot. The system behaves the same way as when inserting a graphics plot. For more information on the Trends Plot and its configuration, see Configuring a Trends Plot.

Values are displayed as per value scaled units (if configured). For more information, see Value Scale Units.

 

Textgroup Box

Displays a label that you can add to a Report Definition. You can insert labels (Blank, Page, and Report) in the header/footer section or anywhere in the Report Definition.

Using labels, you can type text to be displayed in the Report Definition or insert keywords. By default the labels display all the languages configured in the system.

Keyword Group Box

Keywords are pre-defined templates that can be added anywhere in a Report Definition. They are replaced with actual data in Run mode and when the report document (PDF, XLS) is created.

There are two types of keywords:

  • Content-specific, which can be inserted only above tables/plots.
    For example, content-specific keywords, such as Content Type, Name filter or Record Count, cannot be inserted in the header/footer section of a Report Definition.
  • Generic, which can be inserted anywhere including the header and footer of the Report Definition

For example, you can add the Date keyword in the Report Definition header to display the date on which the report is executed.

A default report template may contain generic and content-specific keywords. Creating a new Report Definition displays generic keywords, but not the content-specific keywords.
The applicable content-specific keywords are automatically inserted above an inserted table and/or plot; however certain keywords are not applicable for certain types of tables/plots.
For example, if the default template contains the content-specific keyword Time Range and you insert the Active Events table in the Report Definition, the Time Range keyword will not be
inserted above the Active Events table in the Report Definition as the Time filter is not applicable for the Active Events table.

The following keywords are supported by Reports:

Form controls are controls that you can edit in Run mode. There are four form controls - Editable Field, Custom Text Selection, Text Group Selection, and Comments Table. These controls are accessed from the Form Controls group box within the Insert group box in the Home tab of Reports.

The Editable Field control displays a watermark text that enables you to perform the required action. You can change this text if you want the control to display a different text when the report is executed. These controls can also be used to provide event treatment related information in reports for operating procedures.

Following is an overview of the form controls:

Editable Field

Use the Editable Field control, to enter text in Run mode. This field does not support keywords.

Custom Text Selection

The Custom Text Selection control provides a drop-down list that enables you to add, modify, and delete text entries in Edit mode and select entries in Run mode.
