Schedule Reports to Run Automatically
The Reporting Module allows you to schedule reports within the Ignition Gateway. You can
schedule a report to run on a regular basis; for example, on every Monday at 5:00 p.m. Then,
your report will run as scheduled whether or not any Ignition clients are open.
You also have the option to set up triggered execution, which means that reports run on-
demand when triggered by an event such as a tag change, a shift change, the finish of a
production run, etc.

Scheduled reports can be automatically delivered in many ways: print, email, save to a file
server, upload to an FTP server, or use scripting to customize the method of delivery. Have
your reports distributed in the way you want, every time, automatically.

The Reporting Module has a powerful drag-and-drop query interface that allows you to build
complex SQL queries easily. The new query structure allows you to create complex nesting
which can correlate relational data and process-historian data in a seamless fashion.
