How to Generate Reports
The report is generated as a Comma Separated Value (.csv) text file.
Depending on the amount of activity, text files can be excessively long and difficult to interpret when printed so it is advisable
to import the file into a spreadsheet and use the spreadsheet tools to organise the data.
Webserver (if used) can save or automatically open the report in Microsoft Excel or in a text editor.
Microsoft Excel 2003 is limited to a maximum of 65,526 entries so, if the report is too large, a ‘
File not loaded completely
’
message may be generated. Microsoft Excel 2010 has no such restriction.
To generate a report:
1. From the
System Status
screen navigation bar select
Tool Box
, then
Report
2. Select the type of report required (see section above), and if applicable select the channel required
3. Select required start and end dates and times
4. Select
Save
or
as required
Note
: The Save/Print option is disabled until a channel is selected.
Note
: TPPR does not adjust automatically for daylight savings time. Be aware that if the date and time are changed to a time
in the past, (for example ending daylight savings time) TPPR will retain a backup of the previous data.
