Overview of Reports
The heart of Production Monitoring™ is the ability to generate reports on the wealth of data provided by
your Welding Power Sources. To help you get the most of the reports, several features and functionalities
apply to all or most reports.
Generating Reports
Production Monitoring™ stores the data generated by your Welding Power Sources in a database on the
server. When you generate a report, Production Monitoring™ goes to that database and submits a query.
The data comes back, and the system displays the report for you.
TIP | In-depth information about each report begins on page 5.7.
To generate a report:
Procedure Details
1. From the Asset Tree, select the Welding
Power Source or Group for which you want
to generate the report.
For more details on navigating the Asset Tree,
please see page 5.2.
2. Click the appropriate report tab.
3. Click the appropriate individual report. The report automatically displays for you. Use the
Criteria to customize the data to your needs.
Report Criteria
The Criteria section on an individual report displays the options used for generating the report you
currently see on the screen. If you want to display the data on the report for a specific date or shift (or a
variety of other filters), you can click the Criteria link (Figure 5.4 on page 5.3).
The Criteria window (Figure 5.5) displays the filters available for the individual report. Not all the Criteria
windows are the same, and some reports do not need to be filtered so have no criteria available.
