Each report includes a Report Editor pane on the left hand side of the report that allows users to configure which nodes to use in the report, the Data (tag, tag group or algorithm), and the Time Range, Baseline and Normalization properties. Some reports may not include all of the configuration properties.

To get started, drag one or more points into the Node pane.

 NOTE: If you modify any node using the configuration editor (nav tree of the station) and that node is part of a report, the node selection editor shows red text for that particular node. This indicates that the node was modified and needs to be re-configured on the report. 

When you right-click a node in the node selection editor, four options for managing nodes and groups open in a drop-down list.

Option Node Description

Ungroup Not applicable. Converts all nodes inside the group to multiple nodes.
Rename Not applicable. Renames the group.
Delete Deletes the node from the group. Deletes the group and the nodes it contains.

Clicking the colored square next to the record type in the Node selection editor opens the color picker.
