Overview

 

A Report provides specific information on your site's entities - devices, operator groups, device groups, etc.

Access the available reports to check for relevant data and, if necessary, to export it.

 

 

Report View Page

 

Access: Open the "Report Management" page (Site Dashboard > Control Panel > Business Analytics module > Reporting sub-module > Report Management page) and click the name of the intended report.

 

This page is divided into a Data section, which displays the report's returned data and a "Parameters" panel (hidden by default, to the left, that can be expanded to check/edit the parameters set for this report).

 

Example of the report view page of a report:

 

Reports Details_Page_Site

 

Speech Balloon_Button_Option

 

Ex: This report is meant to return a device's configuration related data so the table is made up of columns that convey that type of information ("Device Ref.", "Device SSN", "Device Name", "Device Status", "Device Type", "Site Ref.", etc.).

 

"Data" section

 

This section displays the data returned by the selected report which is aggregated according to its defined parameters (you can expand the "Parameters" section to check which parameters, if any, have been set for the current report).

 

Tools

 

Display Tools_Buttons_C

 

•Use the search box to look for a specific item/element.

The listed columns depend on the report type/data it is meant to return.

Click Configuration Button Reports again to hide the list.

The report list is downloaded in an Excel file format. ("MP_<report name>_<time stamp>.report.csv" file - ex. "MP_Devicelist config v1_211210112045.report.csv".)

 

TIPSince the export ONLY includes the information displayed in the Data section, make sure that this section contains the intended columns and check the parameters set in the "Parameters" panel before doing a report export because they can filter the data display.  

 

•Refresh_Button Refreshes the information on the current page.

 

"Parameters" Panel

 

This panel is hidden by default - click Parameters area open (upper left corner) to expand it.

 

Reports Details_Page_Partial

Example of a report's Report View page with an expanded "Parameters" panel.

This section displays the parameters associated to the current report. Ex: This report includes 2 parameters "Device Group" and "Status" with defined values.

 

The parameter values, can be, temporarily, edited in this report view. Use the drop-down or the Report Select a_Button button (when available) to select another listed value.
