WebReports Installation Overview
The Building Operation WebReports is installed using installation package. Before you install the WebReports installer, you must ensure that the computer on which you want to install WebReports (the Reports Server) meets the hardware and software requirements for WebReports, and that you have installed or enabled certain prerequisite items of software.
For more information, see WebReports Installation Overview .
The basic WebReports components are a web browser, the Reports Server (running WebReports and prerequisite software), the Enterprise Server (running WorkStation) and (optionally), one or more SmartStruxure server devices.
For more information, see WebReports Components .
WebReports Configuration
You configure WebReports to create and view reports in the Work area of WorkStation. You need to create and configure user accounts to have access to WorkStation and to run, view, and customize reports in WorkStation and the WebReports Web Site.
For more information, see WebReports Configuration .
When WebReports is installed, a collection of factory supplied reports is installed on the Reports Server. As a result, the reports are available in both WorkStation and the WebReports Web site.
For more information, see Reports in WorkStation and the WebReports Web Site .
Reports are available in three different categories: factory supplied reports, custom reports and default reports.
For more information, see Report Categories .
In WebReports, you can view and create two types of report: prompted reports, and dashboard reports.
For more information, see Report Types .
Report Output
When you have generated a report, you have a number of options for preserving the data contained in the report, for example you may want to print the report, or save it in a particular format such as a spreadsheet format.
For more information, see Report Output .
Report Images
WebReports provides an image library where you can upload and preview images to be used in your reports. You can also delete images from the image library.
For more information, see Report Images .
Report packs contain reports. You can use report packs to upload new reports to WebReports, and to provide portability of reports from one Reports Server to another.
For more information, see Report Packs .
Reports in Report Builder
Report Builder is a separately downloadable part of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012, and provides the facility for you to create, modify, and deploy your own reports to the Reports Server, based on selected parts of the Building Operation database.
For more information, see Reports in Report Builder .
