For each module, AVEVA Instrumentation is supplied with a number of "fixed" pre-defined reports that you are not able to edit.
AVEVA Instrumentation is also provided with facilities that enable you to create, modify, and customize reports.
The list of fixed, user-generated and custom reports, and the facilities for creating and editing them, are available from the Reports grid, which is available in each module.
To open the grid
-
Click Select in the Grids and Schedules section of the Home tab.
-
Select Reports from the list of grids that is then displayed.
The Reports grid is then opened:
The grid shows a list of all previously defined reports for the module, including those supplied with AVEVA Instrumentation.
Note: Refer to Data Grids in AVEVA Instrumentation Projects for information on the grid controls, including how to select a record (a Report).
Access Rights to Reports
As with other Project data, different users may have different levels of access rights, as specified using the Security Manager module.
In addition to the standard access rights that may be associated with all types of Project data, users may have the following access rights to reports:
-
Full Access (No Edit Query) - users with this level of access have full access rights except that they cannot edit the SQL queries that reports are constructed from (see Create and Edit Custom Reports).
-
Read Only (Allow Issue & Revs) - users with this level of access cannot edit or delete reports but they may issue them (see Report Issues) and create revisions for them (see Report Revisions).
For further details of access rights, refer to the Security Manager module guide.
