runtime system and allow you to present this data in a customized manner.
This section provides background information on Reports of Desigo CC . For

3.5.1 Overview of Reports
A report is a formatted and organized presentation of data. The reports application
lets you configure and produce a variety of reports on the functioning of the
management platform. In order to view the reports application, you must have the
Show privilege.
You can use reports as a reference or as a troubleshooting mechanism. Reports
are helpful during system operation. For example, you can:
● View a mixed report containing:
– A table displaying details of all active events for a floor of a building
– A table displaying a history report of events
– A trends plot displaying the temperature variations gathered from
temperature sensors
● Export trend data for statistical analysis to:
– An XLS file
– A CSV file (according to the EMC requirement)
● Schedule production of a report using macros and reactions
● Send a report to someone using email, to a printer as a .pdf, or to a folder as a
file
● Export and import report definitions and logos.
Following are the important reports that you can configure using the Reports
application.
Objects Report
An Objects report contains an Objects table that displays the run time property
values of system objects. To know the property values of any object, such as
present value, high limit, low limit and so on, you must configure an Objects report.
Each object has a corresponding object model associated with it. An object model
specifies the properties applicable to the object type, configuration attributes of
properties, and additional settings like data type of the property, text group
configured for the property, commands defined for the property and so on. Each
property value has configuration attributes like property name, property descriptor,
unit, resolution, minimum and maximum value, and so on. For example, the
Present Value property has attributes such as Unit, Resolution, Type, Descriptor
and so on. The Objects report also provides information on these attributes.
