The SF Cloud has an automated reporting function that can send either a snapshot of data or a historical CSV data dump to a group of recipients on a schedule.

To create a report, go to the Reports tab, click on the “Add Report +” button, and set the report filename and display name. Next, select the type of report which can be either a snapshot or history report. The enabled checkbox enables the report to run automatically on the configured schedule.

Filename – This is the name given to the file when exported.
Display Name – The name of this report in your reports list.

Type – Report type from the list below. Combined value reports allow you to select an interval

• snapshot (PDF) – Snapshots only allow 6 columns per report
  • Snapshot reports can be configured to show the current values at the time the report was generated for up to 6 columns of data for the RANGERs selected.
• history (CSV) – All columns are included in the report. You can select devices for each report.
  • The History report includes historical data for all data points for the selected RANGER devices for the selected time interval. For example, if this report is selected to run daily each report will include the previous days’ worth of data. The data from each RANGER is provided as a .csv file for that Ranger. If multiple RANGERS are selected a .zip file containing the .csv files for each RANGER will be provided
• combined value (PDF) – Combine values from multiple devices onto the same report.
  • This report generates a .pdf file containing the most recent values when the report was generated. Each row of the table contains the configured data point from a single RANGER unit.
• combined history (CSV for Excel) – A CSV file for use with applications like Excel
  • The combined history report can be configured to contain the historical data for up to 64 columns worth of data. The data is provided at the interval selected for the configured schedule. For example, selecting a 5-minute interval and a daily report will generate a report containing the most recent data point for each device over the previous day.
• combined history (CSV for Database) – A CSV used for importing into databases or applications.
  • This report contains the same data as the combined history (CSV for Excel) report in a tag/value format for importing into databases or other applications

Schedule Set the schedule for how often you want these reports emailed to the recipients list.

Change Recipients allows you to configure one or more email addresses that the reports will be sent to. These can be emails that do not have a signal-fire.cloud account.

Change Columns Allow the user to select what data they want in reports.

Change Devices allows the user to select which set of RANGERS the report could contain.

Note that history reports generate one .csv file per selected RANGER containing all historical data for that RANGER. If multiple RANGERS are selected one .csv file for each RANGER will be included in a .zip file.
