Creating a Notification Report Template
You create a notification report template to get a notification report when an alarm or a variable triggers a notification.
You can configure notification reports to include important information on the Building Operation system. Notification reports are distributed when a notification is triggered.
The notification report content is configured in a notification report template that can be used and reused in notifications.
You define the contents of the notification report by configuring the following:
Text adapted for the notification report
Properties
Trend log records
The notification report template text can consist of any printable characters, blank spaces, line feeds, and substitution codes.
You configure data type groups for the properties and trend logs you want to include in the notification report template. The data type group names become substitution codes that you can add to the notification report template. A data type group can be, for example, a list of trend log values or properties.
You can use Quick filter to find a specific substitution code in a list of available substitution codes.
An auto-complete feature helps you complete the name of a substitution code when you start typing. You can add a substitution code to the notification report template text by dragging it from the list of substitution codes.
By default, when a notification report is triggered it attempts to retrieve all the values and log data for up to 5 seconds. The timeout property is configurable.
Absolute Path or Relative Path to the Objects Connected to the Trend Log or Property
You can configure properties or trend logs to point to a specific object (absolute path) or to be relative to an object (relative path).
When used in an alarm triggered notification, a relative path is relevant only when there are several identical structures of objects, for example, folders representing room or a devices. The contents of the report depend on which alarm in the structure that triggered the notification.
When used in a variable triggered notification, you can configure the path the notification report is generated relative to.
If you have more than one Relative Trend Log or Relative Properties data type group in the same notification report, you can only have one relative reference point for them all.
Example:
A notification report template including a trend log with a relative path to an alarm is used, 'Room 1'. There are two more folders in the system with content identical to the contents of the 'Room 1' folder. When an alarm is triggered in 'Room 3', the trend log data related to the triggered alarm in 'Room 3' is presented in the notification report.
If you use an absolute path for the property, you can move or rename the property without any data loss when the notification report is generated.
If you use a relative path for the property and move or rename the property, you will lose data when the report is generated.
Properties Substitution Codes
Properties substitution codes represent the information you want to display when a notification report is triggered. The information is dynamically filled in from the properties that are included in the notification report.

Trend Logs Substitution Codes
Trend logs substitution codes represent the information you want to display when a notification report is triggered. The information is dynamically filled in from the trend log records.

Date and Time Formatting
You can customize how date and time are presented in a notification text or a notification report text.

Notification Report Example 1
In the example Building Operation system, we have created Building A and Building B with a number of identical rooms. Building A has three rooms: Room 1, Room 2, and Room 3. Building B has three rooms: Room 1, Room 2, and Room 3. Each room has a value and a trend log that logs the room temperature. Each room also has a value and a trend log that logs the CO 2 percentage in the air. The values are connected to alarms.

Notification Report Example 2
In the example Building Operation system, we have created Building A and Building B with a number of identical rooms. We have also created a folder for the repeption area in Building A. In the Reception folder, we have created an analog value and a trend log that logs the temperature in the reception area. The value is connected to an alarm. A notification report that contains the log data is to be displayed in a web browser when a user manually triggers the notification.
