Item Description
TIP
You can filter your data based on multiple shifts. For example, if you
select Shift 1 and 2 as field values for filtering, your report will return
data on Shift 1 and 2.
Select the Use Shift Start check box if you wish to filter data by shift
start, instead of the start and end time of each record. If you specify a
period of time for a report (see Selecting Date/Time (page 79)),
Report Expert will return data records of shifts started in the given
period, instead of records containing start and end time which
belong to this period).
For example, let's assume that Shift 1 runs from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00
p.m., Shift 2 runs from 2:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., and Shift3 runs
from 10.00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. the next day. If you set Data Range
to Yesterday and select the Use Shift Start check box, Report Expert
will return data collected between 6 a.m. the day before and 6.a.m.
that day. Data records collected during Shift3 have the date of the
current day, but their start of shift has the date of the day before, and
therefore they also appear in the results.
The Grouping parameter allows you to create one or more grouping
filters that specify how the information in a report will be combined
and physically arranged.
Each row in the Grouping parameter consists of:
• A grouping field list (page 85).
