Data Sets
The Report Studio is still under development and has not officially been released. Be warned that code may change such that reports you create with this pre-release trial version might need to be updated in order to continue working after your next VTScada update.
Until the official release, documentation for the Report Studio will open in response to the F1 key but will not be shown in the menu system. To view a table of contents for the complete chapter, navigate to The Report Studio
Data Sets define the content of the tables and charts in your reports. You can save a Data Set in a report for quick recall without having to reconfigure. The default maximum number of Data Sets that can be saved to a report is 30. Create new Data Sets as you configure components or use the Data Set Manager to add new, rename, copy or delete Data Sets.
Data Set Types
Time - Configure Time ColumnsSee Also
Data Sets of type, "Time", can be chosen within the data cell properties for a column. When a table component is added, the default column is a "Timestamp" column by default. You might create additional Time Data Sets if you need to display time or data information in varying formats for different reports. Otherwise, you might simply adjust the Timestamps Data Set to suit and use it for all your reports.
Tag Query - Create Tag Queries
Data sets of type "Tag Query" define both the tags to include in a table or line chart and also which data columns to include such as maximum, minimum, or average. Data is always retrieved for time intervals defined by the overall table or line chart unless you select the option, "raw data values".
Recipe Batches - Create Reports for Recipe & Batch Management
Use this type of report to create your own version of a Recipe Batch Report
Alarm and Events - Create Alarm & Event QueriesSee Also
Any alarm or event property can be shown in a report. Filters that you assign to the Data Set will define which alarms or events are included.
Row Labels - Pivot Tables
When Pivot Tables are used, the Timestamp column becomes a column of row labels, identifying the parent tag of multiple child tag columns.
Transaction - Create Transaction Logger Reports
Link this Data Set to a Transaction Logger tag to retrieve values from Transaction Logger tags and their child tags.
