Reports
Reports let you build multi-page PDFs from your project data and send them on a schedule by email. You choose the data period, layout the pages with tiles (charts, tables, maps, text), then preview, generate, and optionally email the report to selected users.
Overview
Before building a report, it helps to understand three main settings:
- Name — The title of the report. This name appears in the report’s cover page, the header, and in the email when the report is sent.
- Data period — The date range of data included in the report (e.g. last week, last month). All tiles in the report use this same period.
- Schedule — When the report is sent by email and which users receive it. You can send reports automatically on a schedule (e.g. weekly or monthly) or generate and send them manually.
- Headers — When enabled, the report header shows the organisation logo and project logo. These logos are uploaded in Project settings.
- Page numbers — Page numbers are shown on each page of the report.
Report pages
A report is made up of one or more pages. You add and remove pages from the report builder.
- Add a page — Use the + (plus) control at the bottom of the last page.
- Delete a page — Use the trash icon for that page.
- Add tiles to a page — Use the + icon on the side of the page to add layout tiles. Tiles can be resized once placed.
Layout tiles
Each page is built from tiles. You choose the tile type and configure what data it shows. Tiles are added to a page and can be resized.
Cover page
A single full page showing the project name, report name, the period the report covers, and the project image. The project image is uploaded in Project settings. The cover page always occupies one full page.
Text box
Allows formatted text for introductions, contents, titles, and comments.
Chart
A chart for a single sensor. The options match the charts configured in that sensor’s Blueprint.
Custom chart
Add any Custom chart created in Custom chart setup. Custom charts let you show outputs from multiple sensors on one chart.
Readings table
Choose a sensor’s outputs to show in a table. Tables do not overflow the page; choose which outputs to include so the table fits.
Alarms table
Shows alarms for the selected sensors that occurred during the report’s data period.
Location
Shows selected sensors on a street map. A toggle is available to switch to satellite view.
Map image
Shows a chosen map image view with the selected sensors on it. Map images are uploaded images with sensors placed manually. Only sensors that have been placed on that map view are shown.
Preview
After laying out the report, use Preview to see how it will look. The preview uses data from the report’s period, based on the last complete day of data. You can print the preview to PDF to get a local copy.
Generate
Use Generate to create a report for a specific period. You can then:
- Preview — View it and print to PDF yourself.
- Send — Email it to users on the project. The default list of recipients is the set of users who are configured to always receive the report.
Generated reports
A history of previously generated reports (both automatic and manual) is available. You can download any of them as PDFs.
