CHAPTER 6 • REPORTS PAGE

The Create as a scheduled report box should be checked if this is to be a regular report,

run consistently on a given interval. Uncheck this box if this is to be a singular report that

is run manually just once.

Options Tab

The Options tab contains any additional properties that are needed for the selected report

template.

Many reports do not require additional properties and pushing the Next button on the

Report Type tab will skip the Options tab in those cases. For report templates that require

additional properties, see the appendix for more information on valid values for any given

template properties visible on the Options tab.

Data Source Tab

The Data Source tab (see Figure 6.5) allows you to select the data source for the report.

Figure 6.5 – Data Source Tab

Reports can be drawn from any available data source, including the raw, imported data,

workbook data, or published data; however, reports can only be created from one single

data source. For reports from imported data, choose the Imported Data radio button and

select a data aggregation (5 minute, 15 minute, Hour). For reports from workbook or pub-

lished data, select the appropriate option and select the specific data source from the drop-

down list.

As before, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the chosen data source contains an

appropriate amount and type of data for the selected report.

Time Tab

The Time tab (Figure 6.6) allows users to select the date range for data within the chosen

data source that will be used within the report. By default, the start date and end date values

will be set to the beginning and ending time ranges for the chosen data source, although

users can always choose to adjust the time ranges to only use a subset of the data in the data

source for the report.
