RtReports generator search pages

The RtReports generator has two types of search pages: the Batch Search page and the Report Search page.

After you sign in, the default search screen opens. You can select an alternative search screen from the Quick Links list on the RtReports toolbar.

Optionally, you can apply an immediate filter to the search screen by specifying an attribute from the Search Attribute list on the toolbar. The list of available search attributes depends on the search screen specified in the Quick Links list.

For instance, if you select Report from the Quick Links list, select Name from the Search Attribute list, and enter ACME* in the text field, then the report search page opens with the initial search defined as Name = ACME*.

Search batches and generate RtReports based on time zone

When the ReportTimeZone configuration is set to "client", users search for batches and generate RtReports based on the client time zone. In this case, a time zone must be specified in the URL parameter during login. To login use the client mode URL https://ServerName/RtReports/WebPages/logins/logon.aspx?TZ=TimeZoneParameter.

The time zone specified must be both a valid Windows time zone, and also match one of the <StandardName> values defined in WindowsShortName.xml. For time zones that are not supported, or when users try and login without a time zone, an error message similar to the following will appear: URL time zone context is not recognized. Please contact your administrator for the correct URL. See Configure ReportTimezone.

When the ReportTimeZone configuration options is set to "server" (the default value,) users search for batches and generate RtReports based on the PI data server time zone.

To login use the server mode URL: https://RtReports_Server_Name/RtReports.

When you view report search results in the Search page, reports will have a status.
