Multi Device Usage Reports

A Multi Device Usage Report displays historical energy data for multiple devices and one topic. A multi device usage report includes only usage and consumption topics.

NOTE: If you choose too many topics, the chart legend can become unreadable.

To set up a Multi Device Usage Report:

  1. Browse to the Multi Device Usage Report in the reporting web application. When prompted, enter your Power Operation user account information. Click Login.
  2. At the next screen, complete the following:
    1. Type a report title.
    2. In Reporting Period, choose the date range for this report, for example, last week.
    3. If you choose Custom..., the Start Date/Time and End Date/Time fields display. Enter the date and hour:minutes:AM/PM. (The date/time fields do not apply for the other reporting periods.)
    4. From Period Grouping, choose the interval by which you want to see the data reported. (The options here vary, depending on the date range selected.)
      If you leave the default By Interval, you will get every data point in the selected date range.
    5. Click the names of the devices for the report.
    6. Highlight the topic to be included.

      7. If you require two different sampling interval trends for the same variable tag, you must create a duplicate of the existing variable tag and confirm that:

      • Tag Name, ItemName, and Comment are unique for each tag.
      • Trend tag names should be the same as the variable tag name.

  3. Click Generate Report.

After the report is generated, it displays on the screen. It includes a usage summary, a value table by interval for all of the devices selected, and a pie chart. You will probably have to page forward in the report to see all of the information.
