Reports Monitor (Reference) provides real-time visibility into server-side report generation operations for ReportForms and WebData objects during runtime. The Reports Monitor displays:
- Report generation status
- File save operations
- Error tracking
- Execution results
- Server-side operations only

Access the Monitor page at Reports → Reports Monitor.
| Runtime Access | ||
|---|---|---|
| Name | Report identifier | @Report.Form.<Name> |
| Disable | Object disabled state | @Report.Form.<Name>.Disable |
| SavedFileName | Output file path | @Report.Form.<Name>.SavedFileName |

Runtime Property Access
Access monitor properties in displays or scripts:
ReportForm Properties
csharp
// Get report status
string status = @Report.Form.ProductionReport.LastStatus;
string fileName = @Report.Form.ProductionReport.SavedFileName;
string error = @Report.Form.ProductionReport.LastStatusMessage;
// Check for errors
if (@Report.Form.ProductionReport.LastStatus == "Error")
{
LogError(@Report.Form.ProductionReport.LastStatusMessage);
}WebData Properties
csharp
// Monitor WebData operations
string apiStatus = @Report.WebData.APIReport.LastStatus;
bool isDisabled = @Report.WebData.APIReport.Disable;
// Validate execution
if (@Report.WebData.APIReport.LastStatus == "Success")
{
ProcessReport();
}Status Values
| Status | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Success | Report generated successfully | Process/distribute report |
| Running | Generation in progress | Wait for completion |
| Error | Generation failed | Check LastStatusMessage |
| Disabled | Object disabled | Enable or skip |
Monitoring Scope
Server Operations (Monitored)
- Report generation triggered by server
- Scheduled report creation
- Server-side save operations
- Batch report processing
Client Operations (Not Monitored)
- Local report generation
- Client-side PDF creation
- Display-triggered reports
- User-initiated saves
Using Monitor Data
Health Monitoring
csharp
// Check all reports health
public void CheckReportHealth()
{
if (@Report.Form.DailyReport.LastStatus == "Error")
{
SendAlert("Daily Report Failed: " +
@Report.Form.DailyReport.LastStatusMessage);
}
}Batch Status Tracking
csharp
// Monitor multiple reports
string[] reports = {"Daily", "Weekly", "Monthly"};
foreach(string report in reports)
{
string status = @Report.Form[report].LastStatus;
if (status != "Success")
{
// Handle failure
}
}Error Logging
csharp
// Log all report errors
public void LogReportErrors()
{
if (@Report.Form.MyReport.LastStatus == "Error")
{
string error = string.Format(
"{0}: Report {1} Error: {2}",
DateTime.Now,
"MyReport",
@Report.Form.MyReport.LastStatusMessage
);
WriteToLog(error);
}
}Best Practices Guidelines
- Monitor critical reports - Check status regularly
- Log all errors - Track failure patterns
- Set up alerts - Notify on failures
- Verify file creation - Check SavedFileName
- Handle running state - Implement timeouts
- Document issues - Keep error history
- Create dashboards - Display report status
Troubleshooting
Report shows "Error":
- Check LastStatusMessage for details
- Verify file path permissions
- Review report configuration
- Check data availability
Status stuck on "Running":
- Check server resources
- Review report complexity
- Monitor database queries
- Implement timeout logic
No monitor data:
- Verify server-side execution
- Check Designer connection
- Confirm runtime active
- Review object configuration
File not created:
- Check SaveFileName path
- Verify write permissions
- Review disk space
- Check antivirus settings

The monitoring table will show the status of the Server (not clients) operations performed by ReportForm and ReportWebData objects.
In addition to the monitor table, report information can be accessed via Display CodeBehind or Scripts, using the following syntax.
|
Report Monitor Table | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Name | Unique name to identify the report entry. |
Disable | Flag to indicate the object is disabled. |
SavedFileName | Specifies the file name for storing the report's output data. |
LastStatus | Checks the most recent status of the report entry, which could be "Success," "Running," or "Error." |
LastStatusMessage | Access a detailed message that elaborates on the latest status of the report entry, providing further insights. |
