Chapter 5
Analyzing FactoryTalk Metrics Data
FactoryTalk Metrics provides a graphical environment for analyzing
production and process data. In this chapter you will learn how to
use FactoryTalk Metrics to create and view RSBizWare reports
containing OEE charts (bar, pie, and line) and tables.
In RSBizWare, a report is a complete, formatted document that is
made up of one or more report objects that have been placed in an
HTML document along with text, graphics, and hyperlinks. A
report, saved as an .htm file, is created and edited using the
Configuration Console with a FactoryTalk Metrics Author license.
RSBizWare reports can also be edited using Web-authoring tools
such as Microsoft FrontPage.
An RSBizWare report object shows the data from a database table
or view in a meaningful graphic or tabular presentation. The report
object defines how the data is to be shown to the user. It defines
both the visual representation of the data (e.g., pie chart, bar chart,
table) as well as the data sorting and summarization.
The data for the report object comes from an RSBizWare report
data source. A report data source is a connection to a table or view
within the RSBizWare database or an external database.
The data in the report object may be restricted by a query (a filter),
made up of one or more search criteria, that determine which
records from the report data source will be shown. The use of a filter
is optional.
