Analyzing FactoryTalk Metrics Data Chapter 5

Item

Description

Select Which
Toolbars to Show
options

Select the check box near the toolbar name which you want
to display on the report. The check boxes allow you to add
toolbars to the report object. The end users of your report

will use these toolbars to adjust the report object to suit
their needs.
The following toolbars can be selected:

• General
• Time Selection
• Status Bar
• Report Data Source
• Report Object
• Filter

4. From the Report Data Source list, select FactoryTalk

Metrics Workcell History. This is the data that will be shown

in the report object.

5. From the Report Object list, select Workcell History.
6. For this example, we will not select a filter, so leave the filter

list blank.

NOTE

Filters are grouped by the report data source for which they have
been created.

7. Select the Status Bar check box. This will cause a status bar to

display at the bottom of the report object. Because each report
object on a report can connect to a different server, the status
bar will indicate the user and server to which the report object
is connected at run time.

8. Click OK to add the report object to the report. The report

object is shown as a simple box outline.

9. Double-click inside the box outline to see the table, and click

Refresh. You may not see any data in the table. This is because

the default time range for the table is the past 2 hours, but the
sample data was collected over several days in May 2000. In the
next section of the tutorial, we will learn to control the time
range for the data that will be displayed in the table.
