Querying and Filtering a Point Log Report
Point Log reports can be queried on the point name and point type. Use the query
fields (Panels, Name, Type, Search MSTP) in the top section of the Point Log Report
window to query the report.
 The Point Name query string allows wildcard characters: (*) replaces any text, (?)
replaces one character only. For example, (Temp*) returns all points starting with
“Temp”. For more information, see the TALON Controllers User's Manual (588-
580).
 The Point Type drop-down field functions the same way as the Panels drop down
field. See above.
Point Log reports can be filtered on the status (in alarm, fault, out of service,
overridden, or unacknowledged alarms) of the points queried. Click the check boxes in
the second row of the report pane filtering area to filter on a specific status.
Filtering on multiple status filters will return points that fulfill both filter criteria. For
example, checking the In-Alarm and the Unack. Alarm check boxes will result in a list
of points which are BOTH in alarm AND unacknowledged.
Generating a Point Log Report
Click Go. The Point Log report results will display as a table in the report pane. To
cancel a report in progress, click Cancel.
The width and order of the report table columns can be changed in the report pane.
The report information can also be sorted by column.
 To change the width of the columns, click and hold the vertical edge of the column
header and move the line to the desired width.
 To change the order of the columns, click and hold the column and move it to the
desired location within the table.
 To sort the report information by column, click the arrow in the column header. The
numbers next to the column names indicate the sorting priority.
Exporting, Saving, and Printing a Point Log Report
The Point Log report can be exported to the system printer with a preview, or exported
