Device Total QTR Report Templates

Device Total QTR (Quantity Transaction Record) report templates contain a ReportDefinition page and a ReportSheet page, that together describe the reports you can produce. CygNet provides a sample report template file DeviceTotalQtrTemplate.xlsx for reference. It is stored in the CygNet\Services\FMS\ReportTemplates\Samples folder on your host server.

The ReportDefinition sheet includes the following parameters to describe the type of report to build.

The ReportSheet sheet includes the following sections and corresponding tokens to describe the specific format of the report to build. Valid tokens will be replaced by the values they represent. You may also include additional information you wish to see in the report.

Displaying Additional (Non-Token) Values

You can enter additional (non-token) elements such as logos, labels, or text into reports. Elements that are not valid token values will be displayed as entered.

Note: This means that tokens with typographical errors, therefore not "valid" tokens, will also be displayed as entered.

Example

[Volume] is a valid token. If you use [Vol] (not a valid token) instead of [Volume], the value will be displayed as "[Vol]" instead of displaying the volume value desired, since [Vol] is not a valid token.

[Vol]

Displaying Beginning or Ending Values for a Record

Data item tokens have variants you can use to display the beginning or ending values for a record. Append _Begin to the token text to show the beginning value for the record period. Append _End to the token text to show the ending value for the record period. You can then view data values or configuration settings in effect at either the beginning or end of each record span (e.g. hourly, daily) as desired. If neither _Begin nor _End is appended, the default is the ending value for the record.

Displaying Flow-Weighted Average Values for a Record

Some tokens for gas metering process variable values have a variant you can use to display the flow-weighted average value for a record in your report. Tokens utilizing this version are valid for [Energy_Average_FW], [Mass_Average_FW], [Volume_Average_FW], and are listed in the Data Table Tokens table, below.

Configuring the ReportDefinition

The ReportDefinition uses parameters to describe the type of report for the service to build. The following parameters determine the described characteristics of your report.

Device Total QTR Report: ReportParameters

Report parameters, which appear between #ReportParameters# and #End#, can be defined by the following values.

Parameter Description Value

ReportName

The value defined in this cell will be used for the report name, as it will appear in drop-down menus in FMS Explorer and CygNet Explorer.

See Using the Reports Control and Scheduling FMS Command Tasks in the MSS for more information.

Enter a value to be used for the report name.

Example

Device Total QTR

CommandName

The value defined in this cell will be used by the service to determine which specific report command type to execute.

See FMSClient Methods in the Scripting section for more information.

Enter a value to specify the report command name.

Example

DTQTR

Note: Maximum of 7 characters; letters or numbers only, no spaces.

Device Total QTR Report: Worksheet Parameters

Device Total QTR report worksheet parameters, which appear between #Worksheet# and #End#, can be defined by the following values.

Parameter Description Value

ReportType

The value defined in this cell will be used to represent the standard FMS report type you are configuring.

Enter a value to be used to indicate the type of the report.

Example

Device Total QTR

NullToken

The value defined in this cell will be used to represent null values in your report.

Enter a value to be used to indicate a "null value" cell in the report.

Example

[-]

MixedValueToken

The value defined in this cell will be used to represent mixed values in your report.

Enter a value to be used to indicate a "mixed value" cell in the report.

Example

[Mixed]

NoCmdGroupToken

The value defined in this cell will be used in your report to represent the value for the Group name or Group description fields when either of the following is true.

  • command is not run against a group Node
  • command is run against multiple group Nodes

Enter a value to be used to indicate the Group name or Group description when the command was not run against a single group Node.

Example

[Invalid Group]

NodeSortOrder

The value defined in this cell will be used to specify the order in which to display Node results in the report.

Enter one of the following options.

  • Name ascending
  • Description ascending
  • Name descending
  • Description descending

Default value is Name ascending.

This parameter is optional.

RptStDate

Note: If you use this parameter in your report template, the RptStDate parameter will no longer appear for configuration in FMS Explorer or CygNet Explorer.

See Device Total QTR Report Definitions (FMS Explorer) or Reports: Device Total QTR (CygNet Explorer) for more information.

If used, enter a valid start date value for the report. RptStDate and RptEndDate must be the same configuration parameter type.

Notes:

The report will display data in Device time (D), although the report command parameters are configured relative to Contract time (C).

The report will only include records that exist entirely within the specified date range.

See Selecting Date and Time for more information.

This parameter is optional.

RptEndDate

Note: If you use this parameter in your report template, the RptEndDate parameter will no longer appear for configuration in FMS Explorer or CygNet Explorer.

See Device Total QTR Report Definitions (FMS Explorer) or Reports: Device Total QTR (CygNet Explorer) for more information.

If used, enter a valid end date value for the report. RptStDate and RptEndDate must be the same configuration parameter type.

Notes:

The report will display data in Device time (D), although the report command parameters are configured relative to Contract time (C).

The report will only include records that exist entirely within the specified date range.

See Selecting Date and Time for more information.

This parameter is optional.

RptUnitSet

Note: If you use this parameter in your report template, the RptUnitSet parameter will no longer appear for configuration in FMS Explorer or CygNet Explorer.

See Device Total QTR Report Definitions (FMS Explorer) or Reports: Device Total QTR (CygNet Explorer) for more information.

If used, enter a valid unit set value for the report. Valid unit set values defined in the service can be viewed through the Admin menu in FMS Explorer.

See Configuring Unit Set Definitions for more information.

This parameter is optional.

Configuring the ReportSheet

The ReportSheet uses tokens to describe the format of the report you want to run. The following tokens determine the report content, and will retrieve the corresponding values for display in your report.

Note: Enter report tokens carefully, as the tokens are case sensitive. Typographical errors (therefore not "valid" tokens) will be handled as "additional values" and displayed as entered; the non-token value will appear in your report instead of the actual value(s) the correctly entered token would have retrieved. See Displaying Additional (Non-Token) Values above for more information.

Possible values are as follows.

  • Open
  • Closed
  • PPA
  • Mixed
[Energy] Energy value
[Energy_Average_FW] Energy value: flow-weighted average

See Displaying Flow-Weighted Average Values for a Record for more information.

[ExceptionCount] Total number of exceptions for the record

Note: Time spans with partial data (for example the current day) will be Mixed status, even if all available values have been edited. This occurs because the status for any data that has not yet been returned is "not requested" and that status is included in the evaluation of the resultant token value.
