Reports - Forms and WebData (Concept)

Configuration Workflow

This module gathers data from several sources and levels coming from different locations. This data is organized and transformed into relevant information, providing a valuable resource for the decision-making process.

Runtime Execution

Providing Query Results

The Reports Module enables the solution to interact with Reports configuration seamlessly, acting as a Service to other modules.

The data retrieved or saved can be utilized in various ways throughout your solution. For example:

• In the Displays Module: Visualization tools like DataGrids can show JSON and CSV data. PDF can be visualized on displays. 
• In the Scripts Module: Custom scripts can activate reports triggers and contents.
• Devices:  Getting data from field equipments to save, or loading JSON/XML recipes to send to controllers

Visualization and Interaction 

During runtime, the DataGrid component can show JSON data, Components to visualize  PDF are available:

Features Highlights

The Reports Module simplifies the creation, saving, and visualization of text and PDF reports, as well as the generation of WebData definitions to manipulate JSON, HTML, text, and XML data. It supports runtime server execution and client-side web service requests, offering customizable advanced features.

• PDF and Text Reports: Generate visually appealing and informative reports in PDF or text format. Reports come complete with charts, tables, and other graphical elements, allowing users to effectively communicate insights from their data.

• Forms: Design customizable and interactive forms to display real-time or historical data and capture user input. This allows you to streamline data presentation and management.

• WebData: Users can exchange data between external applications or services using web-based communication protocols like HTTP and RESTful APIs.

• XML, HTML, and JSON Support: Easily exchange data between external systems. This module supports importing and exporting information in plain text files, or in standard XML, HTML, or JSON formats, facilitating seamless data integration and management across various systems.

• Web Services Integration: This integration allows users to access, manipulate, and share data in real-time using protocols like HTTP and RESTful APIs. It also ensures compatibility with diverse software systems such as ERP, BI tools, and custom applications, thereby enhancing data sharing and collaboration.

• Scheduling and Notifications: Keep stakeholders informed by setting up report schedules and email notifications. These automated processes ensure the timely delivery of reports, providing recipients with essential insights and updates.

• Template Customization: The Reports Module also offers a feature to create and modify report templates. This capability ensures that users can meet specific project requirements, guaranteeing consistent and accurate data presentation.

• Architecture Implementation: The web services integration is designed to support various architectural implementations, including Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and microservices. This adaptability allows for easy integration within existing IT infrastructures and addresses the unique requirements of each project, paving the way for a scalable and modular approach to system design.

Manage WebData

WebData encompasses all functionalities necessary for exchanging JSON, XML, Text, or HTML data with external applications or saving data contents to a file.

External Application Data Exchange: Utilize web services to interact with external applications or systems, enabling our platform to access, modify, and share data using standardized communication protocols like HTTP and RESTful APIs. This facilitates integration with diverse software systems such as ERP, BI tools, and custom applications, enhancing data sharing and collaboration.

Architecture Implementation: Our platform’s web services integration supports various architectural implementations, including Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and microservices. This adaptability enables seamless integration within existing IT infrastructures, catering to the specific needs of each project and fostering a scalable, modular approach to system design.

Built-in Report Designer

Our platform offers a straightforward Report layout editor seamlessly integrated with the engineering workspace. Easily create visually appealing and informative reports in PDF or text format, featuring charts, tables, and other graphical elements.

Scheduling and Notifications

Schedule report generation and set up email notifications to automatically deliver reports to stakeholders. This ensures they stay informed of crucial insights and updates without manual intervention.

Data Access Toolkit

Using our platform, you have access to a comprehensive .NET Data Access library, which you can utilize to develop tailored reporting solutions or integrate with various tools like Microsoft Office, SQL Server Reporting Services, or other vendors' tools. Additionally, a Rest API is available for integration with Web Services.

Create Forms

Create customizable and interactive forms to showcase real-time or historical data and gather user input, simplifying data presentation and administration.

You can incorporate any symbol from the real-time displays into the report. These symbols retain their dynamic behavior, such as color, text output, and rotation, by updating them with the current tag values during report creation. User controls like Trend and Bar charts can also be included. You can also add contents from database tables and queries to the reports. These queries and report generation processes operate in isolated processes, ensuring they don't disrupt real-time processing.
