[Workflow]: Logging and Analyzing Loudness
There are several tasks you can perform related to both logging and analyzing loudness data
in iControl. Certainly, before you do anything else, you must make sure your system is properly
configured. You must also make sure you log before you analyze. While the sequence of these
tasks may seem obvious, the sequence of other required tasks may not be. The following is an
approved workflow for configuring, logging, and analyzing loudness data in iControl.
5. Perform one of the following two tasks:
• Create a new report template to customize the filtering parameters of your reports, then
generate a report (see "Creating a Report Template" , on page 192).
• Select an existing report template to generate a report (see page 193 ).
6. If desired, display the report in a Web browser (see page 193 ).
7. If desired, download the report as a PDF file (see page 194 ).
8. If space is an issue on your Application Server database, and you no longer require the use
of any of the Availability default report templates, disable the SQL Event Log Plugin’s
automatic incident clearing functionality (see
"Enabling and Disabling the Automatic
Incident Resolution Function for iC Reports" , on page 191).
1. The Availability default report templates are as follows: 10 Channels with Highest Availability Last
24 hours, 10 Channels with Highest Availability Last 7 days, 10 Channels with Lowest Availability Last
24 hours, 10 Channels with Lowest Availability Last 7 days
