6.9. Enhanced Reports

Eventide NexLog DX-Series™ has two reporting mechanisms. The Basic Reporting feature is available on all NexLog DX-Series™ recorders and provides a mechanism to run simple pre-defined reports inside of a web browser.

Unlike Basic Reporting, Enhanced Reporting allows complex custom reports to be designed by the end user. This is done by choosing and configuring Report Templates from provided report components called Report Blocks. Some of these correspond to the reports available in the Basic Reporting feature, while many others are only available in the Enhanced Reporting Package. In addition, even when the same building block is available in both, the Enhanced Reporting version will often have additional parameters and configuration options, providing more flexibility and power.

The Enhanced Reporting Package provides many other features not available with Basic Reports. For example, it allows reports to be designed once and then run later, even to be run automatically on a schedule such as nightly or weekly. It also allows reports to be automatically emailed out when they are run. Enhanced Reports can be available not only in HTML format to be viewed in a web browser, but also as PDFs. It is also possible to export the raw data from the reports in Excel format for further customization. Enhanced Reports also provides permissions on a per-report basis, so a user can be given permission to run and/or view specific reports, without being able to see others.

The Eventide Enhanced Reporting Package software add-on and its use are detailed in the Eventide Enhanced Reporting Package Manual (Eventide P/N: 141268).
