overview
The daily report functionality of FA-Server is provided by the logging, aggregation, and reporting functions of the summary action.
To display the daily report screen, the FA-Client daily report screen is used. The daily report screen connects to the summary action registered in FA-Server to obtain the daily report data (aggregated data) to be displayed and displays it on the screen. Logging and aggregation processes (Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report) are performed by the summary action.
Below is a brief explanation of the logging and aggregation functions of the summary action, as well as the reporting functions.

Summary action logging/aggregation function
To create a daily report, you need to log the values of the tags you want to include in the daily report. This logging process is performed by the logging function of the summary action. The log data (raw data) logged by the summary action is then aggregated as Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report. This aggregation process is performed by the aggregation function of the summary action.
By using the Summary Action aggregation function, you can automatically aggregate the logging data (historical data) saved by the Summary Action logging function using various statistical methods such as average, total, maximum, and minimum values according to a pre-specified aggregation period (daily, monthly, yearly, etc.), and save the aggregated data separately in a CSV file or ODBC database. The aggregation period unit can be flexibly set to other units besides Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report, and for example, the 1-second historical data generated by the Summary Action logging function can be aggregated in various periods such as 5-minute or 30-minute intervals.

The Summary Action aggregation function only processes historical data saved by the Summary Action logging function. It cannot be linked to historical data generated by other functions such as the Logger Action. |
Summary action reporting
To create a daily report, use the Summary Actions report function.
The report function is a function for creating summary reports (Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report summary reports) and is provided by the Summary Action and Daily Report screens.
FA-Server automatically performs aggregation processing based on historical data (raw data) logged by summary actions, and generates aggregated data for Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report. If necessary, reports can be automatically printed at the aggregation timing of Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report, or report data can be automatically output (sub-report function) as CSV or Excel files. In addition, FA-Client can connect to the summary action of FA-Server via the daily report screen, and can view, modify, and print reports.
The set of Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report summary processing and report generation function using layout masters is collectively referred to as the "report function." The daily, monthly, and yearly summary processing used to create Daily/Monthly/Yearly Report is the same function as that described in "Summary Function" in the Action Reference.
