Overview

 

Reports are a very useful tool for data analysis - a report can return specific information about the devices paired to your MCL-Mobility Platform account and other entities such as sites, operators, etc. ( = the account's masterdata).

The data displayed by the reports are retrieved and organized via the "Reporting Service".

The returned device info is kept up-to-date due to periodical synchronizations between MCL-Mobility Platform and the paired devices via the MCL-Agent software installed in each device.

 

MCL-Mobility Platform provides a list of report templates you can choose from to get the information you need. For instance, there is a report template that returns a list of devices paired to your account with the corresponding static info (status, SN, model, installed firmware, device group it is included in, etc.), a report template that returns a list of the account's sites with details on each one, another one that lists the operators, etc.

 

The available report templates are categorized into "Masterdata" (= reports that return static data related to the account's entities), "DeviceStatus" (reports that return dynamic data which are constantly updated due to the generated business data/account activity) and "Operational" (reports that provide dynamic operational data from "enabled" devices).

For more details on each report template, check our MCL Knowledge Base for the corresponding article - "Reporting Service's Report Templates". (You must register/log in to access this article.)

 

Once you create the intended report (based on one of the available templates and with the parameters you have set), you can check it and/or export its data whenever you want.

You can create as many reports as necessary.
