About Reports in the Workbench

A new data reporting ability has been added to GENESIS64 via a new provider within the Workbench. Reports are integrated in the system, similar to how alarms or historical data are treated.

 

Reports Configuration in the Workbench

 

Reports in the Workbench in GENESIS64 contains multiple features, including:

Report Dashboard

Data Integration

Report Server

Report Server Architecture

Report Sources

Report Generation

Reports can be scheduled at specific times or under specific conditions. Actions (Workflows, Schedules, Triggers) can be used to execute reports.

 

Reports can also be manually generated. A Report Control Page can be utilized on any glass, similar to ICONICS Health Monitoring System.

Report Execution

Report Execution is performed when the server retrieves the template from the configuration. The OpenXML SDK is used to generate the reports. (Note that Microsoft Excel is not required on the server side.) The generated report is saved in a runtime database, which is not tied to the configuration database.

 

Users can use the system to deliver customized reports anywhere automatically. In addition, generic commands can be executed when reports are successful, are failing or simply when completed.

 

ICONICS' commanding abilities have been enhanced to support the ability to attach reports. For example, a "Send Email" command could forward a report to AlertWorX.
