Type a title for the report in the text box.

The Source Selector dialog provides options to show Devices or Views:

Use the Devices option to select the devices you want to include in the report.

From the Grouping list, select the way in which you want to display the sources (for example by device type or by group name). Click + and - to expand and collapse items in the navigation tree. Click the check box beside a device (or group of devices) to select it. Click Select All or Select None in the top-right corner to select or clear all the check boxes.

After selecting the devices, click OK.

Use the Views option to select a hierarchy view (a tree of relationships) or virtual meters. The hierarchy views and virtual meters are configured in the Hierarchy Manager component. (See the Hierarchy Manager Help for further information about hierarchies, virtual meters, and views.) Click + and - to expand and collapse items in the tree. Click the check box beside any hierarchy item in the tree or any virtual meter to select it.

Click OK after making your selections.

Use this input to select the measurements you want to include in the report.

Click Select Measurement to open the Measurement Selector dialog. Click + and - to expand and collapse items in the navigation tree. For reports where you can select multiple measurements, click the check box beside a measurement (or group of measurements) to select it. For reports where you can only select a single measurement, click the measurement name to select it.

After selecting the measurements, click OK.

Use this input to select the timeframe for the data you want to view in the report.

Select the reporting period from the dropdown list. The timeframe options in the timeframe dropdown are relative to the date the report is run. To run a report that starts and ends in the past, select the fixed date option. Type a start and end date in the date boxes or click the arrows beside the dates to display a pop-up calendar and select a date. Type a time in the time boxes or click the up and down arrows beside the time to adjust the hours or minutes up or down. You can also run a report that starts and ends in the future. You must manually add the future data. You can use any tool to generate future data. For example, use Manual Data Editor to manually enter measurement data.

Select the timezone you want to view timestamps in.

Use this input to select the interval for the data you want to view the statistics in the report.

Select the statistics period from the dropdown list. The available options are Entire Period, Day, Week, Month and Year.

Select if you want to use a time of use (TOU) schedule with this report. If you want to use a TOU schedule, select a TOU schedule from the list. The list shows the existing TOU schedules that are configured in the system. If you have not created a TOU schedule, the field shows that no schedule is available.

Click Yes to include the Time of Use interval selections for non-cumulative measurements. If you click No, the report excludes the Time of Use interval selections. For cumulative measurements, the Time of Use interval selection is always considered.

Select the sort options of the tabular data from the dropdown list. The available options are Source Name, Period, Maximum Value, Minimum Value, and Total. The selection applies to the entire table. For example, if Maximum Value is selected, then all maximum values across all measurements and Time of Use periods are considered.

Select Ascending or Descending to show the tabular data based on the Sort By selection.

NOTE: For Measurement Aggregation Export Report, you can use the Export Format parameter to select the export format. For Measurement Statistics Export Report, you can export the report output files in CSV format only. No specific parameter is available for selection of export format.

Enter a path or file share on the PME server where the report output files will be saved to. If you do not provide a file name as part of the path, the system will use the default file name DefaultExport.csv for the export file. You do not need to include an extension with the file name.

NOTE: The WebReporterAppPool application pool in IIS must have write permission on the Export File Path location. This application pool is running under the NetworkServices Identity when PME is installed with SQL Authentication. When it is installed with Windows Integrated Authentication, then the Windows account that is used to access the databases is used to run the application pool.

Examples:

Path, including file name: C:\Temp\test.

Path, without file name: C:\Temp\. (NOTE: Do not forget to include the \ at the end of the path.)

NOTE: This note is applicable for Measurement Aggregation Export Report. When the CSV (RepGen Compatible) Export Format is selected, the report output is organized by source and saved to a file with the source name. If multiple sources are selected, one output file for each source is created.

Select an option for the format of the label describing the source. The options are Source Name, Source Description, and Combined Name/Description.

NOTE: The source description is the description that was entered in Management Console or Device Manager for a source, when the source was added or edited.
