Creating Reports
About Datasets
In order to keep report creation times short while the system collects more and more
data, calls are stored in datasets that span one month. A second set of datasets is also
maintained that includes calls from the middle of one month to the middle of the next.
Reports cannot span datasets.

History reports contain information about calls, alarms, and system faults. To create a
history report, click the
History Report
button on the reporting home screen.

reporting system is configured to provide a report that contains all information about
all calls and events.
Select a date range for the report by choosing one of the options from the

This Month

many more.
