Instant Reports

Clever Logger reporting engine allows you to either create a report immediately, or have a report automatically sent to you periodically. The process is very similar.

This article covers the creation of an Instant Report.

This is useful if you have had an incident and need to give someone a report. 

Step 1 Icon

Go to the Reports page

Open the Clever Logger Dashboard.

Choose Reports from the main menu.

Click on the Add Report button in the top right corner of the page.

Step 2 Icon

Preset or Custom?

custom report

There are a couple of common presets available, but for this example, we will create a Custom Report.

Step 3 Icon

Select report type

There are three options here …

Min/Max

A simple report showing the daily minimum and maximum temperatures.

This is an “industry standard” because you can see that something complied in a very small number of lines. 

min max extremes

Min/Max + Extremes

The daily minimum and maximum plus a list of any out of range temperatures. 

For example, you will see something like:
15/2       3.5°       12.2°
          11:35AM       9.2°
          11:40AM      10.3°
          11:45AM       12.2°
          11:50AM       8.3°

This has the benefit that the report is very compact when all is fine, and detailed when there is a possible problem.

all readings

All Readings

This report will output all readings that have been recorded – by default, this will be at 5-minute intervals.

If you need to produce a report for an auditor or inspector, this is probably the best option.

Step 4 Icon

Select the Locations to include

You can include multiple locations in the same report. Or you can create separate reports for each location.

To select a location, click on it to place a tick next to it.

Step 5 Icon

Select the file type

There are three options here as well …

The PDF format is the most useful option. It can be easily viewed on all computers and mobile devices. It can be printed on a standard piece of paper. It can also be easily shared with others. 

 If in doubt, go with PDF.

Excel

This is the native Microsoft Excel format. This will create an editable spreadsheet of values. This is particularly useful if you need to sort or edit data. You will probably only use this with the All Readings report type.

CSV

There is a 3rd option, CSV, that is only used by expert users.

Step 6 Icon

Give the report a name

When the file is created it will use this name as part of the filename.

e.g. Let’s say that you name the report “My Report”.

The file name will be something like 202408080000_My-Report.pdf

The first part of the file name is the date of the report, and the second part is the name you chose.

Step 7 Icon

Choose your date range

The calendar on the left is the date and time of the first reading of the report.

The calendar on the right is the last reading of the report.

In this example, the report will span two days from 2pm on the 8th until 12pm on the 9th. 

Confirm the time zone

Once you have selected a date range, you will be asked to confirm the timezone.

Step 8 Icon

Email the report, or download it, or both

You can choose to email the report to any of the users in your site. This is optional. 

To select a user, click to place a tick next to them.
