Data Connections

Alarm Management metrics are brought into reports by configuring sub reports as data connections in templates within the project. Each metric sub report is a unique data connection, so you are free to connect these in any cell in any sheet in the report. For those who have used this module in the past, this has changed. Previously, multiple metric sub reports were configured as a single connection with the target defined as part of the sub report configuration.
