Algorius Net Viewer Manual | Report Creation

You can create reports through the application interface, through the Web interface, or through the command line. It is possible to create scheduled reports using the Windows scheduler.

Reports might be unavailable if they are disabled or deleted in the application settings. See Configuring Reports for additional information.

Application

To run a report through the application interface, use one of the following ways:

• Double-click the required report in report tree.
• Select the required report in report tree and press Enter.
• Select the required report in Reports menu in the main application window.
• Press a hotkey if it is assigned to the report. See Configuring Reports for additional information.
• Monitoring and inventory reports can be chosen from devices context menu in the map editor.

To create a report through the application interface for one or several devices, select the required devices on the map and run the required report using one of the above ways.

Web Interface

To create a report through the Web interface, use one of the following ways:

• On the left side of the Web interface select the required report in report tree;
• In the header of the Web interface select the category, the type and the template of the required report. The report template can be not displayed, if it is the only one for this type of report. In this case it is selected automatically.

Please complete the following steps to create report for one device in the Web interface: go to map scheme, click the required device, select the required report by one of above-mentioned ways.

Command Line

Reports can be created from the command line using the following command:

powershell -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://localhost/InventoryChangeLog.doc?map=Algorius&access_token=TOKEN', 'Test.doc')"

where:

• https://localhost/InventoryChangeLog.doc?map=Algorius — a link for report creation; it can be copied from the report export menu in the Web interface.
• Test.doc — a file in which the report will be saved.
• TOKEN — an access token, for example gAMAemqi2IgzVvlTZcAYFxvfw0IA6DyQQjpN60NyZWF0b3I. Required if the server uses password authentication. The access token can be copied from the browser cookies (cookies can be viewed from the browser’s address bar, in the page information).

When you run this command, the report will be saved to the specified file.

Scheduler

With Windows Task Scheduler you can create reports on a schedule, for example daily. To do this, save the above command to a bat-file and add this bat-file to the Windows Task Scheduler.
