Trend Reports

A Trend Report displays a system's historical data in a trend (line) and table formats. Trend reports can include one or more devices and one or more topics. A Trend Report can include all available topics.

NOTE: The report is optimized for up to five topics. If you choose too many topics, the chart legend can become unreadable.

To set up a Trend Report:

  1. Browse to the Trend 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 name(s) of the device(s) for the report.
    6. Click the topic(s) 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 trend for each topic included (selected data points over the period of the trend) followed by a table with every timestamp in the period selected. You will probably have to page forward in the report to see all of the information.
