4.3 WebWare Reports 4.3.1. Reports Page

Overview

The WebWare Server Reports page allows you to choose data sources from a list of available timers and counters, select a report graphic style, and apply custom labels, headers, footers and explanatory text. Reports are printable, and can be saved as templates for future use.

With WebWare Reports, you can:

• Create new reports

• Customize report appearance

• Save reports as templates

• Customize data generation criteria

• Display the reports as a part of a web page

• Add textual information to the report page in the form of HTML snippets

• Select a report from a list of existing reports and run the report

• Preview the display elements of the report before running it

• Select a report from a list of existing reports and edit the report

• Create Custom Queries that query the WebWare database and return the data to be assembled into a table or chart for display.

User Interface

The Reports menu provides three choices:

Viewer - A display page that allows you to select a report and run the report. When you click the View Report link (magnifying glass), WebWare Server updates the source data and renders the report on screen.

Manager - A display page that lists the reports and report modules currently on the server available for processing. The Manager page allows you to add, delete or edit reports or report modules from the system.

Service - A display page that displays service information for robots that have Service Information System (SIS) installed.

Report Components

A report is assembled from basic parts, or modules. There are three different types of modules available:

• Chart Module

• HTML Module

• Table Module

Each report is divided into five physical areas or panes. By default, when you add a component to your report, the system places the component in the center pane. You use the arrows to move the component from pane to pane to its desired location.

Query Page

The Query page provides a familiar interface for creating and modifying database queries.

For more information, see How to Use the Query Builder Page on page 178.

The Query Builder is a sub-component of the Chart and Table modules. The Query Builder helps you build a query that is run against the database to return the desired data.
