Can an operator create the shift report with a button on the SCADA page?

[DataStream]

In our water treatment plant the operators fill in a paper log at the end of each shift with flows, tank levels and chemical dosing. We already log all these tags in Omnivex SCADA and I have prepared a report under Tasks in the editor that contains exactly these values.
At the moment only I create this report from the editor. I would like the operators to press a button on the overview page at the end of their shift and get the report, without opening the editor or the report screen. Is it possible to link a button to a report, and what do I need to set up?

[Technical Support]

Yes. Buttons in Omnivex SCADA run actions through the Event Functions of the component, and Report is one of the available function groups (next to Pages, Recipe, Tag and Value). So the same report you created under Tasks can be triggered from a button.
Steps in the editor
1. Open the overview page and add a Button component from the components list. Give it a clear text such as "Shift report".
2. Select the button and open its Event Functions tab in the Properties Window.
3. Add an event for the button click under EventHandlers / Events.
4. As the function, choose Report and select the report you prepared under Tasks.
5. Save the project and load it on the server so the client receives the new page.
Things to check
- The report can only contain values that are actually logged. Make sure every tag in the report has Log Status set to "Periodic" with a suitable Log Time.
- Use the page's User Access setting if only certain users (for example shift leaders) should see this button's page.
- Test it once from a client station, not only from the editor, so you see exactly what the operator gets.
If you want the report to be created even when nobody presses the button, a scheduled report is the better choice; the button is ideal for "on demand at shift end".
