In NorCloud it is possible to design your own report templates, and generate daily reports based on data collected by your sensors on NorCloud.
The Report setup function is found in the left menu in the Project view.
The reports can be generated by NorCloud's own Report Generator that results in a report customized to fit the Company or a Project profile.
The top menu consists of these choices in addition to the normal Save and Cancel buttons:
•Report template, click on this to handle the report templates.
•Report designer, clicking on this will open the Template designer where you can design your own report templates.
•Text Reports, click on this to setup Text reports.
•Transfer Sites, click on this to setup automatic transfer of reports to FTP(s) or HTTP(s) sites.
