Which inspection reports can be created and exported using DataReport in SONAPHONE DataSuite?

DataReport can be used to combine measurement and inspection data from SONAPHONE DataSuite into structured inspection reports.

Reports can be created for different parts of the available asset and measurement data:

• the complete asset tree,
• selected contents of an asset tree,
• a selected inspection route,
• an individual measuring point.

Created reports are stored in DataSuite, can be viewed in a preview, and can subsequently be downloaded as PDF files.

Which data can be selected for a report?

For an asset tree report, either all contained objects can be included or the measurement data to be evaluated can be filtered.

Filtering is possible by criteria including:

• application
• status

For example, a report can therefore be created specifically for measuring points belonging to a particular application or condition.

Alternatively, a report can be created directly for a previously defined inspection route or an individual measuring point.

Which report templates are available?

The current DataSuite provides two templates:

Generic

The Generic template is intended for reports containing measurement data from different applications, for example:

• leak detection,
• bearing and machine monitoring,
• other ultrasonic inspections.

SteamExpert

The SteamExpert template is specifically designed for measurement data from the Steam Trap Testing application.

This template is only available when the SteamExpert add-on module is activated.

Can additional information be included in the report?

When creating a report, additional information can be entered, including:

• name of the report creator,
• address,
• comment.

A custom logo graphic can also be added.

This allows the inspection report to be supplemented with organizational or company-specific information.

How is a report created?

The basic process is:

1. select the required report template,
2. select the data source,
3. filter the measurement data if required,
4. enter a report name,
5. optionally add additional information and a logo,
6. generate the report.

The completed report is automatically stored in the Report List and displayed in the Report Preview.

How is the completed report exported?

A generated report can be downloaded from the Report List as a PDF file.

Previously generated reports remain available in the Report List and can be viewed, downloaded again, or deleted.

DataReport therefore provides a way to summarize structured and evaluated DataSuite measurement data in a documented inspection report.
