Analyzing FactoryTalk Historian Classic Data Chapter 4

NOTES

By selecting this option, you are granting the specified
user’s application privileges to the runtime user for this
report object. Because the Save Report Object Contents

to File, Add Time-Series Comment, and Edit/Delete
Time-Series Comment application privileges allow action

on report objects, it is important to consider whether the
specified user has these privileges and whether you want

the runtime user to have these privileges.
If you use this option across many report objects and the
security policy for the user is very strict (that is, the

password must be changed frequently), you will need to
change the password setting separately for each report

object. Consider using a less strict security policy (such as
never requiring the password to be changed) for this

user. For more information on security policy, consult the
RSAssetSecurity documentation.

For this tutorial, make sure the Use Global Credentials

option is selected.

3. Click OK to close the dialog box and save your changes.

You will be adding more report objects to this report. If you want
the rest of the report objects on this report to use Global

Credentials, you will need to specify this option for each report
object when you insert the report object.

An important feature of the Configuration Console is the ability to
create bar, pie, and line charts from data stored in a report data
source. The purpose of this tutorial is to walk you through the steps
that are necessary to create a chart with the New Chart Wizard. For
this tutorial, you will use the Historian Data Point View report data
source to create a chart showing the average running time per hour
for work cells. This tutorial will also demonstrate how to create a

prompt-at-runtime filter so that the end-user of the report can
choose the work cells that will be charted. Your chart will look
similar to the one shown below.
