Managing Reports

For a general overview, watch the video below. For up-to-date, important details, consult the following written information and linked subsections.

About Reports

Using Reports , you can configure parameters for reports of the following types:

All Points: Presents all points of interest in a project as a list.
All Points By Device: Presents points of interest in a grid view. Device names are the rows and point names are the columns.
Energy Usage (Continuous Accumulators)
Energy Usage (Hourly Accumulators)
Energy Usage (From Power)
Manual Override
Out of Range
Runtime

You can use the parameters to view report results once, or name and save the parameters as a report setting to be run again later. A snapshot of the results of a report setting can be downloaded as a CSV file.

Once a report setting is saved, you can display the report on a dashboard using either a Report Card or Report module. A Report Card displays a single report in several sizes. (See Creating a Report Card.) A Report module always spans the entire width of a dashboard, but easily switches between report settings. (See Adding a Report Module).

Important to Know

Each time you create or open a report setting the report runs and displays the available data from that moment. See the notes in the following sections of this guide for details about how to see subsequent changes to point values.

When running a saved report setting, if checkboxes next to particular points were selected before the initial save the report will only include results from those points. See the note in Running a Saved Report Setting for how to determine which points are included. Add a new report to search all points of interest in the project again.

When running an Energy Usage report, for accurate results you must choose the right type (Continuous Accumulators, Hourly Accumulators, or From Power) for the device and/or situation. See Choosing the Right Report Type for guidance.

The results of a Manual Override report setting are based on the last time KMC Commander read the priority. If KMC Commander was used to make all overrides, then the report results will be up-to-date when you run the setting. However, if overrides may have been made by other means you will need to make KMC Commander read the priority again to ensure up-to-date results. See the notes in Configuring a Manual Override Report for how to check and update the Priority Last Read time.
