This page lets you choose a report from the Select report list. A report is included in the list if it has been uploaded to the server and marked as Runnable.
When you select a report, it is run immediately using the date range selected in the Period filter as parameter for the report. This means that if you change the date and time and click Show period, the report will be run again showing data for the new span of time. Please be aware that in order to run reports that cover a long time span, for instance a year, the DME server must have run without stopping for at least a full day. The BIRT round-robin database needs some time to build a reporting data foundation.
When you run a report, it is shown in a report window such as the one shown below.
The report window contains a number of buttons:
|
The TOC button toggles the Table of Contents on or off. This is not relevant for the standard reports, as they are all one-page reports. |
|
Shows a parameter window. This is not relevant for the standard reports, as all parameters are passed from the server. |
|
Exports the report data to a file with comma-separated values, which can for instance be opened in a spreadsheet application. |
|
Convert the report to PDF format and display it in the browser. This ensures a good result if you want to print the report. |
The navigation buttons on the right-hand side of the report window bar are not relevant for the standard reports, as they are all one-page reports.
