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 create as many as you need and reuse them across reports. Currently, data sets cannot be renamed or deleted but they can always be edited.

The Four Data Set Types

Time - Configure Time ColumnsSee Also

Data sets of type, "Time", are used for a time or data column in a table or the time axis in a line chart. One named "Timestamps" is included 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 selection tags to include in a table or line chart and also the calculations to apply to those tags. Data is always calculated 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.
