Exporting measurements reports

You can initiate a one-time export task of a measurement report or schedule periodic exports from the Measurements > Report page. If filtering has been applied on the Measurements page, only filtered data is exported.

For each export task, the system automatically creates a CSV file of the filtered data. The file is available in the file management area until you manually delete it, or until the file is transferred to an alternate location using the remote server data export feature. For more information about using remote server data export, see Remote Servers.

Use this procedure to export a measurements report to a file, or schedule a periodic data export task of this data.

1. Click Measurements > Report.
   For a description of each field, see Measurement elements.
2. Generate a measurements report.
   For information about how to generate a measurements report, see Generating a measurements report.
3. Locate and select the scope tab that contains the measurements of interest.
   Scopes are presented in tabular form. If the target tab is not visible in the available screen space use the scroll right/left buttons located below the tool bar area and to the right or left of the visible tabs.
4. Click Export.
5. Click to select the scope or sub-scope measurement report that you want to export.
6. Check the Report Groups boxes corresponding to any additional measurement reports to be exported.

   Note:

   This step is optional, but is available to allow the export of multiple measurement group reports simultaneously.
7. Select the desired Time Interval and Time Range.
8. Select the Export Frequency. Based on this selection, other fields may become active or inactive.
9. Enter a Task Name.
   This field is not active if the selected export frequency is once. For more information about Task Name, or any field on this page, see Measurements data export elements.
10. Optional: Enter a Description.
    This field is not active if the selected export frequency is once.
11. Optional: Enter a Filename Prefix.
    The filename prefix is pre-pended to the generated export file name for quick identification.
12. Select the Minute if Export Frequency is fifteen minutes or hourly.
    If the selected export frequency is fifteen minutes or hourly, this is the minute of each period when the transfer is set to begin. For an export frequency of fifteen minutes, transfers occur four times per hour, and this field displays the minute of the first transfer.
13. Select the Time of Day if Export Frequency is daily or weekly.
    This field is not active if the selected export frequency is once, fifteen minutes, or hourly.
14. Select the Day of Week if Export Frequency is weekly.
    This field is not active if the selected export frequency is once, fifteen minutes, hourly, or daily.
15. Click OK to initiate the active alarms export task or Cancel to discard the changes and return to the View Active page.

The data export task is initiated or scheduled.

From the Status & Manage > Files page, you can view a list of files available for download, including the file you exported during this procedure. For more information, see Viewing the file list.

Scheduled tasks can be viewed, edited, and deleted, and reports of scheduled tasks can be generated from Status & Manage > Tasks. For more information see:

• Editing a scheduled task
• Deleting a scheduled task
• Generating a scheduled task report

Note:

You cannot edit or delete those types of scheduled tasks from Status & Manage > Tasks > Scheduled Tasks.

Note:

Only one export operation at a time is supported on a single server. If an export is in progress from another GUI session when you click Export, a message is displayed and the export does not start. You must wait until the other export is complete before you can begin your export.
