Wonderware HMI Reports is a tool that allows users to easily extract and transform data from sources like InTouch and Wonderware Historian into custom reports without needing IT or programming skills. Key benefits include reduced effort in report creation, automated distribution, and a secure web portal for access. The system supports various data connectivity options, report generation conditions, and offers a user-friendly design studio for creating templates.

8. Studio Report Design
► Studio allows you to design, create and
modify report templates
► Drag and drop “Report Elements”
▪ Graphs, Trends
▪ Tables
▪ Calculations
► Define report distribution
► Define report generation conditions

9. Terminology
► Report Templates
▪ HMI Reports comes with many templates
▪ You can easily create your own templates
▪ Reports are created and then associated to a
template
▪ Templates are NOT counted against the license
► Reports Loaded in Runtime
▪ Report is created in Studio
▪ Report is „Loaded‟ into Runtime
▪ The count of „Loaded‟ Reports is licensed
▪ “Loaded” means that the Reports can be
generated on schedule or on demand

10. Statistical and Analytical Value
Extraction
► HMI Reports integrates a user friendly object
library to extract Data statistics and analysis to be
displayed in multiple views like Tables, Bar
Charts, Pie Charts and more
► The Analytics do the work for you
► Toolbar allows you to easily extract data analysis
using 16 different Report Elements:
▪ 3 Text Report Elements
▪ 6 Table Report Elements
▪ 3 Graphical Report Elements
▪ 4 Information Report Elements

11. Studio Logger
► Define the connectivity to all data sources
required, and then the logging rules for the
Data to be collected
► Enables logging data aggregated from
InTouch and Historian to any standard
database such as SQL Server 2005, SQL
Express, Oracle, Access, My SQL
► The logger is limited to 500 internal tags,
for more than 500 Tags, you will need to
use Wonderware Historian

12. Configuration
► Security
▪ Many aspects of HMI Reports can be secured
to a list of individual users
▪ Reports can be restricted (on an individual
basis) to a series of users
▪ Very flexible!

13. Dynamic Report Generator
► Users can select any report template running in Runtime
and generate a new report on demand instantly
► Enables you to change report settings and execute new
reports on demand without opening and making any
change from the Studio
► Report Generation On Schedule
▪ Yearly based
▪ Monthly based
▪ Weekly based
▪ Time based (every hour for example)
► Report Generation On Condition
▪ You would simply define the event condition
▪ When TRUE, HMI Reports Runtime will generate the report

14. Web Portal
► HMI Reports contains its own Web Portal
▪ Uses Microsoft IIS (5.0 or greater)
► Easy to Implement
► Secure
▪ Uses HMI Reports User configuration lists
▪ Different control over visibility, generation
► Note!
