How to sort and save Clever Logger report emails

Did we make reports obsolete?

Probably.

With old-fashioned loggers, it was vital for users to regularly download data reports from the logger and save them to their computer. This was necessary for two reasons…

  1. If the logger’s memory filled up, old data could be overwritten
  2.  If there were out-of-range temperatures, the user needed to read the report to find out about them.

Clever Logger overcomes all these issues.

  1. There are no memory issues because the data is automatically downloaded to the Clever Logger database.
  2. Users are notified immediately if there are temperature breaches.
  3. Users can generate an instant report on any date range with just a few clicks. This is far quicker that searching through old saved report files.

So, Clever Logger reports are still something a lot of people want, but not many people need.

This post will show you how to filter these emails into a special folder so they are not clogging up your inbox.

Report email subject lines

When Clever Logger emails you a report, the subject line changes depending on the content of the report.

If there has been a breach, this will be reflected in the email subject …

New Report: ACME Fridge (2022/06/04) :: 7 alarms found

If there have been no alarms, you can see this at a glance …

New Report: ACME Fridge (2022/06/04) :: No alarms found

We can use this subject line to filter the emails.

Click on the Settings icon () at the top right of the page.

Then click on See all settings.

In the Subject field, type the following (including the quotation marks) …

“:: No alarms found”

… and click on the Create Filter link.

Gmail is not a big fan of having the colons in the search, so it askes you to confirm. Just hit OK.

Next, you need to choose what to do with the emails.

You have various options. We suggest you mark the email as read and apply a label. You will want to create new label e.g. Clever Logger No Alarms
