Configure the SSRS Reports in the Web Application

If needed, you can configure the Report submenu to hide a report, change the order of the report, or integrate the custom reports to the AVEVA Mobile Operator web application. To make these changes, you need to update the ssrs-config.json file.

To Change the Order of the Report:

1. In the system, navigate to \AVEVA\Mobile Operator\Web Application folder and then select the ssrs-config.json file.

2. Edit the file in a Notepad as an administrator.

3. To update the order of a report, navigate to the required report and update the order in the Order field.

   For example: If you want a report to appear in the 4th position in the Report submenu, then set the Order as 4:

   {

   "Name": "<Name of the report">,

   "Path": "<Path of the report>",

   "IsVisible": true,

   "Order": 4

   },

4. To hide a report, navigate to the required and set the IsVisible field to false.

   Note: To make a report appear on the Report submenu, set the IsVisible field to true.

5. Save and close the file.

6. From the Services application, restart the Mobile Operator Data Server.

7. Log in to the AVEVA Mobile Operator web application and access the SSRS Reports.

   The reports must appear in the order you have defined in the JSON file.

   If you chose to hide the report, then the report must not appear in the submenu.

   Note: In case the reports do not appear on the submenu or you are not able to view the reports and you are getting the 'access denied' error message, then do the following:

   - Clear the Browser cache and login to the web application again.

   - Provide the user with Browser permission in the SSRS folder setting. To know more about permission, see the Microsoft website (MSDN).

To Add a Custom Report:

You can integrate the custom reports in the AVEVA Mobile Operator and list them in the Report submenu. To integrate the custom reports, perform the following steps in the ssrs-config.json file.

8. Access the ssrs-config.json file and open it in the Notepad as an administrator.

9. Using the following code snippet, add the custom report by providing the details in the Name, Path, Order, and IsVisible fields.

   Note: Before adding the code snippet for custom report, make sure that you add a comma at the end of the braces ({ }) of the previous report. If you do not provide a comma, the Report submenu will not appear. Verify the ssrs-config.json file after making the changes to ensure that there is no syntax error.

   ,

   {

   "Name": "<Enter the name of the report>",

   "Path": "<Enter the path of the report>",

   "IsVisible": true,

   "Order": <Enter the required order>,

   }

   Where,

   • Name: is the name of the custom report.

   • Path: is the location from where the custom report can be accessed.

   • IsVisible: Set the value true to display the report in the Report submenu. You can hide the report by setting the value to false.

   • Order: is the order at which you want the report to appear in the Report submenu.

10. Save and close the file.

11. From the Services application, restart the Mobile Operator Data Server.

12. Log in to the AVEVA Mobile Operator web application and access the SSRS Reports through the Web application.

    The reports that you have added must appear in the Report submenu at the order you have defined in the JSON file.

    Note: In case the reports do not appear on the submenu, then you may have to clear the Browser cache and login to the web application again.
