7 Reports
A r eport 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
building control system.
To compose a report, you configure a Report Definition that specifies:
 The elements that you want to include in the report (such as tables, plots,
logos, form controls, text and so on), and their layout.
 Appropriate filter(s): Name, Condition, Time, and/or Row to populate the
elements of the report with information. For example, if you want a report on a
room's activity data over the past month, you could define a Name Filter as well
as Time Filter in an Activities table.
 The formatting you want to apply to the report elements, and the page layout.
You can also configure a Report Output Definition to specify the type of output
(PDF or XLS), and the output destination (file, email, or printer).
Once you configure a Report Definition, you can save it for later use, run it, or
schedule the report to be run at a specified time.
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
You can also export and import Report Definitions and logos.
Pre-configured Report Definitions and associated logo files are available at:
...\GMSProjects\GMSMainProject\Data\Reporting
You can also create and configure reports for operating procedures. These reports
are used during Assisted Treatment to enter information about how the alarm or
event is being handled.
NOTE:
You cannot use trend plots and trend tables in reports for operating procedures,
because these elements do not display any data when the report is executed from
Assisted Treatment.
