Attention! This module is licensed separately and can be not included in your package.

To switch to the Reports Mode, select the appropriate item in the modes panel. As a result reports window will open. Here you can generate reports in real time and view them right in the browser or export them to files of various formats like PDF, XML, XLS (Excel), HTML, CSV.

The Reports Mode window can be separated into four sections:

• In the top left-hand corner the basic parameters to generate a report are adjusted.
  
• In the bottom left-hand corner you create and store your report templates. After an online report is generated, this section changes for the navigation bar.
  
• In the top right-hand section there is the map.
  
• In the bottom right-hand section you see the report itself if it has been generated online. A report appears in the form of tables and charts.

The sizes of the sections are changeable. Click on the horizontal or vertical slider and holding the left mouse button drag it up/down or left/right.

To generate a report, set the following parameters:

Report template
Choose a template from the dropdown list. On the right of the selected template there is a button to display template settings for viewing and editing. If you have no templates, it is impossible to generate a report. Templates are created and stored below (see Report Templates for details).

Object
Each report can be dedicated to unit or unit group. This choice is defined when creating the template. So, depending on the selected template, you will be offered to choose an object from the dropdown list of units or unit groups. If the report is dedicated to unit group, all groups appear in the dropdown list (unit groups must be created beforehand - in the Unit Groups panel). If the report is dedicated to unit, not all units are displayed in this dropdown list but only those which are in the work list of the Monitoring panel at the moment. If the group monitoring mode is selected, the units included in the groups chosen in the Monitoring panel are displayed in the dropdown list.
As in case of templates, on the right of the selected object there is a button to check object properties.

Interval type
Select a type of the interval and fill in the required fields to indicate the reporting period. Three ways to specify the interval are possible here:

• Specified interval: specify date and time (to seconds) of the interval beginning and end.
  
• Starts 'From' until today: specify the beginning only, and the and will be set automatically as the current date and time.
  
• For previous [select the number] days/weeks/months/years. The current day (week, etc.) can be included to the interval or not depending on the state of Include current checkbox.

To generate a report online, adjust the parameters described above and push the Execute button. If no tables or charts appear on the right, it means there is no data about the selected object for the selected period or poor report content is selected in the template.

After executing a report, the Report Templates panel changes to Report Results which displays report contents and provides navigation through the report. Usually, a report contains several pages. To switch between them, use navigation links in the Report Results panel. The name of the active page is bold and highlighted by a yellow background.

The information in reports can be presented in the form of tables or charts. Some information can be visualized on the map, for example, tracks and markers.

To adjust the number of rows to be displayed on one page, choose the number in the dropdown menu: 25, 50, 75 or 100. To navigate between the pages, use the blue buttons:

go to the next page,
go to the previous page,
go to the first page,
go to the last page.

The page number can be entered manually. After entering a number, push <enter> on the keyboard to go to the required page.

To delete an online report, push Clear. The map and the report itself will be cleaned, and the Report Result panel will be replaced by Report Templates again. However, you can switch between these two panels manually. To do this, just click on the header of the corresponding panel.

After generating an online report, it can be printed without saving it to the disk. To do this, press the Print button which becomes accessible only when there is a report in browser window.

In the left part of the Print Report dialog you see the list of sections which are included in the report. Check those of them which you are going to print. At the right you can preview all these tables, charts, map, etc. To start printing, press Print. To exit, press Close.

Hints:

• Reports can be generated and sent by e-mail automatically according to a preset schedule - see Jobs for details.
• Reports can be sent to you in case of event - see Notifications for details.
