About the Reports Module
The module provides a range of features that enable users to define and manage reports based on different parameters, such as data sources, report types, and output formats. It allows users to collect data from various sources, including SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and other data acquisition devices.
The reports module also includes a range of pre-built templates and formatting options, enabling users to customize reports based on their specific needs and requirements. It supports different types of reports, such as trend analysis, performance analysis, and efficiency analysis, providing users with a comprehensive view of the system performance and behavior.
Moreover, the reports module includes various sharing and distribution options, enabling users to share reports with different stakeholders, such as operators, managers, and maintenance personnel. It supports different output formats, such as PDF, Excel, and HTML, ensuring that reports can be easily accessed and shared across different platforms.

Built-in Report Designer
Our platform includes a user-friendly, simple Report layout editor integrated with the engineering workspace. The rich text format uses underlying XAML flow document technology from WPF, Windows Presentation Foundation; which enables the inclusion of graphics and flexible formatting.
Runtime Display Snapshots
Runtime displays can be run in the background or saved to image files, facilitating the creation of rich graphic snapshot reports. Current displays and layouts can also be printed or saved as an image to disk.
Report Append and Text Data Logging
Leverage the report generator's capability to append files, based on project configuration and real-time tags, to create CSV and text logging files. This feature is especially useful for scenarios requiring incremental information creation, like batch reports and shift reports.
| It is possible to save reports in multiple formats: Text (ASCII or Unicode), HTML, and PDF. |
Dynamic Graphical Symbols
It is possible to include any symbol from the real-time displays in the Report. The symbol dynamic behavior, such as color, text output, and rotation, are all updated using the current tag values when generating the report. It is also possible to add user controls such as Trend and Bar.
Tables and Queries
Add contents of database tables and queries to the reports. The queries and report generation execute in isolated processes, not interfering with the real-time processing.
Data Access Toolkit
A comprehensive .NET Data Access library is available for creating custom reporting solutions or integrating with Microsoft Office, SQL Server reporting services, or other vendor tools.
