Reports
Overview
In NovaStar 5, reports are defined collections of point data and analysis options that are defined and formatted so that specific data sets of interest can be produced conveniently and even automatically by the system. NovaStar5 can create four types of reports:
- Points in Columns will display columns of point data report analyses for multiple rows of fixed time intervals.
- Intervals in Columns will display rows of point data report analyses for multiple columns of fixed time intervals.
- Points in Rows will display multiple rows of points. The report columns will display point database information and data report analysis values. The database information, data report analyses, and time intervals are programmable.
- Intervals in Rows will display columns of point data report analyses for multiple rows of programmable time intervals and time offsets.
Report List
Clicking on the Report Data menu causes the Data Request and Report List menu choices to appear. Click Report List to display the Report List page. For a new NovaStar 5 system, no reports will appear on the Report List page. Click the Add button at the upper right-hand corner of the Report List table to define a new report using the Report Add page, see the Report Add section. A new report can also be created based on an existing template report using the Report Copy page, see the Report Copy section.
The Report List table shows all of the reports that have been defined for the system and can show report details. Clicking on any of the column heading buttons will reorder the reports in the Report List, numerically or alphabetically, by that detail. The Choose details... button specifies what information is displayed by the Report List page using the Report List Details page, see the Report List Details section.
Click on the Edit button on any report's row in the Report List table to view or edit the defining attributes of that report on the Report Edit page, described in the Report Edit section.
