Reports

Report generation

EVA ICS Vendored UI applications provide built-in capabilities to generate various reports.

An example trends report

An example trends report, includes charts and a table with historical item data.

Unlike classic SCADA approach, when a dedicated reporting tool is provided, EVA ICS vendored UI applications allow users to use any page as a report source.

All application pages are optimized for printing and exporting as PDF. The applications automatically add required information, such as date/time (both server and client) of the report and hide sensitive data, such as user logins.

To generate a report, click on “Print” button on a page. Then select either a printer or a PDF file to write report into.

Print report

If a page does not provide a dedicated button to print itself, it can be still printed using Ctrl+P or by selecting File->Print operation in the menu of the web browser.

Report kinds

Reports provided by Node system dashboard:

Reports provided by Operation centre:

  • Inventory items and their current states (including real-time chart snapshots)

Additionally, all dashboards created with IDC can be used as reports as well.

Data export

Certain pages also offer exporting data into a CSV file. To export data, click on “CSV export” button.

Print report

The exported data can be later used in spreadsheet programs (such as Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc) to generate custom reports or perform additional calculations.
