The “Report Settings Editor” will be displayed:

3. Click “Show Products and Results for Specified Time Range” if you want to show “Products”, “Measurements”, and “Runs” that pertain to the time range specified in the above step.

Training Guide


4. Otherwise, select “Show All Products and Results” to show all “Products”, “Measurements”, and “Runs” that are in the database. These options are highlighted in red.

5. After making the above selections, one or more line names should be displayed in the “Lines” box. Select one or more lines by clicking on their respective names to display product names produced on the selected line (or lines):

If you selected “Show Products and Results for Specified Time Range” and no lines are displayed, try selecting a different time range or select “Show All Products and Results”.

Training Guide


8. You may also pick the “Select Specific Runs” option if you want to use data from specific runs for your report. If specific runs are selected, all data from the run (or runs) will be presented in the report and the “Start Date”, “Start Time of Day”, “End Date” and “End Time of Day” will be ignored.

9. Next, select one or more “Report Types”.

10. The “Use Averaged Minute Data” option is selected by default. This option will produce reports much more quickly than the “Use Object Data” option. However, the “Use Object Data” option will show more detailed trend graphs. Also, Pareto charts and Histograms are not available for “Minute Data”.

11. Click “Save As” if you want to save the report settings you have just configured. The settings will be displayed in the main window of measura Analytics.

12. To create a PDF report, click on the “Run Report” button.

Measura Analytics makes a rough estimate of how long it will take to generate the report and displays the estimate in a message as follows: This estimate is only displayed if the estimated time is more than 15 seconds. Reports that span a long time period and use “Object Data” may take a long time to generate.

After a brief period, the report will be displayed in the report window:

13. To save this report as a PDF file, click the blue diskette icon near the top left corner of the window.

14. If you do not wish to save the report, click the “X” in the top right corner of the window or choose “File->Exit” from the menu. This will bring you back to the “Report Settings Editor” window which displays the settings for the report. These settings allow you to recreate the report whenever you would like.

These report options let you choose which types of data you want to display in your charts.

5. Reports that span a long time period and use “Object Data” may take a long time to generate. However, using object data will give you a more comprehensive and accurate display of the data.

6. After a brief period, the report will be displayed in the report window.

Training Guide


Automatically Generated Reports

NOTE: If you would like to have reports generated automatically on a regular basis, you should pick relative dates such as “Yesterday” or “Monday” of “this week”. Also, “Specific Runs” should not be selected because these are also tied to specific dates and times. Instead, the “Use All Runs” option should be selected.

NOTE 2: Once you have finished setting up a scheduled report, you must set up a task scheduler entry with the corresponding date and time for it to work. See “Creating Task Scheduler Entries” for a guide on how to do this.

Automatically generated reports can be scheduled to run at any time.

1. To schedule a report, go to the main screen and select the report setting you would like to schedule. Click on the report name to highlight it.

2. Right click and select “Schedule Report…” or click the “Schedule Report…” button.

3. Choosing “Schedule Report…” will display the “Schedule Report” window.

4. Choose an option from the dropdown list and click “OK”. Note that the chosen option is displayed in the “Scheduled” column:

5. If you want to schedule a report for a time other than “Daily”, “Weekly” or “Monthly”, you will need to set up a shift time. To do this, click on the “measura Analytics Settings” tab in the main window and click on “Define Shifts”.

6. From there, you will be able to add, remove, and modify shift times that you can later use to schedule reports.

Training Guide


7. Once the report is scheduled, you may add email recipients by clicking the “Add/Remove Email Recipients…” button in the main menu to display the “Email Recipients” window:

8. Click the “Add…” button to add a recipient.

9. Type the email address of the recipient and click “Ok”. You may add multiple email recipients for each report.

When the scheduled report is run, a copy of the report will be sent to all the email recipients.

Creating Task Scheduler Entries Once you have your reports scheduled in measura Analytics, we need to tell Windows when to launch measura Analytics to deliver the reports.

1. Click on Start

2. Browse to All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Task Scheduler.

3. In the Task Scheduler window, click on “Create Basic Task”.

5. Ensure Daily is selected and click Next (also select Daily when using a custom shift time)

6. Set the time that you’d like your daily reports delivered and click Next. You can also set how often you want this task to happen in the “Recur every: __” field.

7. Under “Action”, ensure Start a Program is selected and click Next.

8. Set the Program/Script field to C:\Measura Analytics\measura Analytics.exe.

9. In the Arguments field, type “daily” or the name of the shift you would like to use (make sure to put the name in “double quotation marks”).

10. Click Finish.

11. Repeat steps 3 through 10 for your weekly and monthly reports.

Repeat this for “Date” and “Time” under the “End” section (clicking on the “now” button will select the current date/time displayed on your PC).

10. “Run Data” provides the same run information as a left mouse click (see above).

Training Guide


11. “Production Report” will quickly provide you with a production report using minute data for all measurements for the run.

Run Log

The run log displays the events that occurred on a system for a given time frame. These actions are displayed in chronological order.

1. Similarly to the run chart, the run log can be opened by navigating to the “Run Info” menu item and selecting “Run Log…” from the list of options.

2. Under “Start”, click on the “Date” field to select your month, day, and year (you may also select the date by clicking on the calendar icon on the right side of the bar).

3. Next, click on the “Time” bar and enter the time of day you want to begin at (NOTE: 24 hour time is used for this field). Repeat this for “Date” and “Time” under the “End” section (clicking on the “now” button will select the current date/time displayed on your PC).

4. Select the columns you would like to display (site name, line name, and run times) in the log by checking or unchecking the corresponding boxes. This can also be done for the events you would like to appear in the log under “Show Events”.

5. Once you have configured your settings, click the “Refresh” button to display your run log.

Individual or multiple rows from the run log can be selected. Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-C, the selected rows can be copied to the Windows Clipboard. These rows can then be pasted into Excel, Word etc.

6. If you would like to export a run log, or automatically generate a run log report on a regular basis click “File” in the main window of measura Analytics and select “New Run Log Report”.

Training Guide


7. The settings for the run log are the same as they were under the “Run Log” window, however you now have the option to save your settings so that you can generate run log reports automatically.

The saved run log report settings will appear in the main window of measura Analytics.

8. To generate the run log report, click the “Run Report” button.

9. Contrary to the previous method of displaying the run log, you can save the log as csv file by clicking on the “Save as CSV” button. You may then choose the location you want to save your report to.

This report can be scheduled and emailed the same way that production reports can. See “Automatically Generated Reports” (above).
