Auto Report

[Bang]

Hi,

Regarding the generation of auto reporting, I see in manual that it generates reports then emails them.

Will it be possible to just automatically save reports on a designated folder without emailing it? Client only wants it to be saved as an excel file.

I already have a license for Elastic Report, do i still need auto report for auto generation ?

Thanks.

Hi Roxy,

Yes, there is an option for this.

Auto Report requires it’s own license, because it’s a different application that adds useful features. The Auto Report app does not need Elastic Report key for generating reports. But’s it’s more comfortable when you have the both licenses, because web plugin Elastic Report is handy for development reports, and sometimes a user needs report in time.

Hi Mikhail,

As there is no video or detailed manual for Auto Report installation I have stuck on testing it on version 6. Checking trial version of Auto Report. I have skipped email part as I dont need it.

Create a communication line, device, and output channel to send reports by email to the specified recipients. (Created the line, but how to create output channel?)

Create a device and an output channel to send and receive commands for generating reports. (Same version 6 does not have output channel in tables).

Add a new user, which is used to connect the application to Server. (Added)
Configure Automatic Control Module to send commands on a schedule. (Added)

Regards.

Feel free to ask here. I hope we will create videos to cover the most of questions in the future.

It’s not needed. AutoReport is a separate service that has it’s own schedule to run reporting tasks.

In case of concerns, provide screenshots of the AutoReport settings.

Hi Mikhail,

Can you please disregard and delete above message. Looks like the system was not updated in time, or it was about missing data for the previous day.
The report in XML format has generated without issues.
My understanding is to have it in XLSX format I need Elastic addon?

Regards.

Hi,

> My understanding is to have it in XLSX format I need Elastic addon?
XML format of the reports is Office XML 2003 that can be opened by Excel and Libre Office.
Elastic Report can generate reports in XLSX format.
I hope we will support XLSX for the default reports someday.
