Report TemplateThe template that should be used when generate Specifies one of the JS7 - Reports - Templates that will be applied when creating the report
IntervalThe report period Report Period is defined by an interval of month-from and month-to. It is possible to define the report period relative a Report Period by using presets like such as "Last Year" or using Unit/From/Count.
Example: Unit: Year, From: 3, Count: 2 will set month-from to the january 3 years back and month-to to december 2 year back.

Month FromStart Begin of the report period. The Report Period. Absolute and relative values can be absolute or relativespecified. Absolute values are follow the <yyyy>-<mm> where  pattern in which yyyy specifies the year and <mm> mm specifies the month. Relative values are xy|m|q where x specifies a count make use of the <n><y>|<m>|<q> pattern in which n specifies the count, y: year offset, m: month offset, q: quarter offset. If y is used, then the month is always 1. If q is used, then the month is one of 1, 4, 7, 10.
Month To

End of the report period. The Report Period. Absolute and relative values can be absolute or relativespecified. Absolute values are <yyyy>follow the <yyyy>>-<mm> where  pattern in which yyyy specifies the year and <mm> mm specifies the month. Relative values are xy|m|q where x make use of the <n><y>|<m>|<q> pattern in which n specifies a count y: year offset, m: month offset, q: quarter offset. If y is used, then the month is always 12. If q is used, then the month is one of 3, 6, 9, 12.

Sort

Highest: The report will return the top n highest values.

Lowest: The report will return the top n lowest values.

HighestFrequencies
Report Frequency

A The Report Frequency divides the Report Period into equal units of time, e.g. monthlyfor example months, and creates reports per unit

Possible values are

Examples for frequencies include:

  • weeklyWeekly
  • every 2 weeks
  • monthly
  • every 3 months
  • every 6 months
  • yearly
  • every 3 years
For each split a report is generated.

Controller IDThe Data used for the report can be filtered by the controller Controller ID
HitsSpecifies the number of top entries in the report10

Step Duration

Step Overlap

The Report Template divides the Reporting Period into steps. The duration of one a step is determined by the "Step Duration" setting in the JS7 - Reports - Configuration. The start time of the next step is determined by the "Step Overlap" setting in the Report Configuration.top n periods with highest/lowest number of workflows executions

In these reports, the reporting period The Report Period is divided into steps in order to count the orders/jobs that run in during these steps. The Each next step starts will start at start+step_overlap and ends at end+step_overlap Start Time+Step Overlap and will end at End Time+Step Overlap of the current step. Each step has a duration of "step duration"lasts for the duration specified with the Step Duration setting.

Example:

  • Step Duration: 5m
  • Step Overlap: 2m
    • 00:00-00:05
    • 00:02-00:07
    • 00:04-00:09
