The Summaries Tab

Summary reports provide information of saved summaries. Click the Summaries sub-tab on the Reports tab of the System Reports screen.

Select a saved summary report from the Report Selection drop-down menu to view it.

Use the Search filters to define the time period or related data for which you want to generate a report. You can also filter the data by selecting column-level values. For details on filtering reports with column-level values, see Filtering Reports on page 1.

To create new, view or delete existing summary reports, click Edit Summaries.

There are two ways of creating a summary report. You can either do this manually or by using the supplied wizard.

Note: Your Synergy must be configured to use the Data Summary Service as well as the wizard. See your Synectics system administrator for details.

For details of how to create a new report via the wizard method, see Creation by the Wizard Method on page 1.

Under Select Group by Columns, click Add Group By. Here you define the way that the information should be categorized in your report. For example, you can define that the report can show a data summary per alarm or per point of sales station.

Left-click the newly displayed cell under Column Name and select the required column.
