Configuring Reports
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 247
Specific Time Period
To define a fixed time period for the report:
• Enter the start and end dates in the format DD-MMM-YY. For example,
02-Feb-97 for 2nd February 1997. (You can also use the numerical
equivalent for a month. The system will automatically change your
entry into a three-letter month abbreviation.) To specify the current
date, leave the field blank.
• Enter the start and end times in the format HH:MM. For example, 10:24
for 10:24 am. (Note that some time fields allow you to enter seconds
(SS) also.)
Relative Time Period
To define a time period relative to the time of requesting the report:
• Enter the number of hours and minutes prior to the present time in the
Length field. For example, 1:30 means “from 1 hour and 30 minutes
before the present time up to the present time”.
• The time period cannot exceed 24 hours.
Controller Offline Time
If a controller has been offline, the field times of events might be different
from the times allocated to the same events in PlantScape. To extend the
time span of the search, and retrieve events whose times were affected by
controllers being offline, enter the length of time that the controllers were
offline in this field.
Modifying Report Configuration Details
If necessary, you can change report configuration details. For example, you can
change the name of a report by typing in a new name in the Title field.
Note If you change the report type by making a new Type selection from the
Definition tab, the report configuration details for the old report are erased.
