Report Filters
All the parameters that permit detailed report generation have been spread across seven different tabs to allow for a more straightforward configuration. By default, all filters are disabled (i.e., either blank or unselected); to enable them, it is enough to configure at least one parameter inside. Available filters include:
•Date
Indicate the time criteria to be used for filtering events; it is possible to define any of the following methods:
- Interval: It permits to specify if the days to be included will be taken from a given custom date or one of the standard filters (i.e., 'current day', 'this week', 'next week', 'current month', 'current year', 'today's month date', 'today's year day', 'previous month', 'previous year', 'last 30 days, 'following 30 days' or 'all dates'),
- Time: Indicate if the report will include the whole day scheduling or only a specific time range.
•Object
Indicate the event type (s) that will be used to filter the events included in the report. Use the 'hide groups and system types' option to display only those types defined by the station and hide those created by default Etere.
•Agency
Set there the field from which the agency information will be retrieved:
- Air Sales agency: The agency specified in the order (only for Air Sales contractual events),
- Asset Form agency: The agency is specified as the tapeless supplier in the asset form.
•Status of scheduled events
Here, it is possible to indicate the status that the events scheduled within the given time range must have to be included in the report. Possible status are:
- Event to be checked: Those events selected to be reviewed but which have not been reviewed yet,
- Checked events: Those events selected to be checked and which have been successfully checked,
- No need to check the asset: Those events which don't require to be reviewed,
- All scheduled events are independent of their status (default).
•Splits
Select the split networks on which the events to be retrieved must have been transmitted to be included in the report:
- Principal network: It's the leading network on which events are mainly scheduled,
- Secondary networks: Those split networks configured in the Etere Configuration | Settings | Air Sales | Splits section,
- All networks: If selected, the report will include the events scheduled across all the leading and split networks. In this case, adding the 'split' column under the properties tab is suggested to identify the network to which events belong.
•Properties
This tab permits the customization of the layout of the report by selecting the complementary information that will be displayed on it. You can also decide to include some standard info, such as:
- Print date: Enable it to display the date (and time) in each page footer,
- Pages Number: If active, a progressive number will be displayed in the footer on all pages across the report,
- Operator: It is the login name of the person who performs the report,
- Station name: The name of the station from which the report is being performed,
- Multiple lines text: Enable this option to continue printing a detail in another line instead of truncating it (as by default).
- Interline: Enable this option to increase the space between lines to 1.5 cm (one-and-one-half). By default -when disabled- this space is set to 1 cm (single).
- Columns: It permits to specify the database fields that will be included in the report. The column headers in the top part of the columns window will be displayed as shown in the report. It is possible to arrange them just by using drag and drop.
•SMPTE Metadata
This tab allows filtering only those events matching a set of one or more SMPTE metadata fields (e.g. campaign, agency, etc).
NB: Please note that the "SMPTE Metadata" tab will be available only if at least one SMPTE metadata field is configured in the system.
Report Preview
The [Settings] permits configuring the page layout of the outgoing document; once filters and settings have been set, it will be possible to select between displaying a preview using the related [Preview] button or printing the document directly using the [Report] button. Please note that some reports permit the export of the generated document in the most common formats (pdf, CSV, doc, xls, XML, etc) just by using the [Export] button.
