Data

Connect

The Connect option is used to define the data connections for a report template.

Note that if the Report Period and Interval were specified when the template was created, the Time Period of the data group (if history) and the Target settings of the connection are defaulted accordingly.

For more information, see Data Connections.Data Connect

If clicked, the entire list of data connections is displayed. The button also has the following drop down options:

  • Add/Modify

    This option opens the dialog to configure a Data Connection.  If the cell selected already contains a Data Connection, this allows you to modify that connection otherwise on OK a new one is added.

    If the Report Period and Data Interval were specified when the template was created, the Target section for a new connection may be defaulted based on those settings.

  • Data Group

    If the Default Connector was specified when the template was created, this option is available.  When selected, the Data Group Builder for the connector is opened. If the cell selected contains a Data Connection to a group of the connector, it is opened to modify, otherwise a new data group is configured.

    If this is a new data group, on close of the group builder, a new Data Connection is created targeted to the cell selected.  The other target settings are based on the Report Period and Data Interval as specified when the template was initially created.

Manage

The Manage option is used to define the management functions for a report template.

For more information, see Data Management.Data Management

If clicked, the entire list of management connections is displayed. The button also has the following drop down options:

  • Add

    This option opens the dialog to add a new Management Connection.  The range selected is used as the default range for the selected Type.

  • Data Export

    From this option, a set of Data Export management functions can be selected.   Each option opens the Data Management dialog to configure a new connection with as many settings defaulted as possible.
