You can run a report on startup.Citect SCADA searches for a report called "Startup" when it starts up, and if locates this report, it is run automatically. You can change the name of the default report with the Setup Wizard.

The period determines when the report is run. You can specify the period in hh:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds), for example:

Period	Comment
1:00:00	Run the report every hour
6:00:00	Run the report every six hours
72:00:00	Run the report every three days
Monday	Run the report each Monday
15th	Run the report on the 15th of each month
25th June	Run the report on the 25th of June

You can also specify the time of day to synchronize the report, for example:

Time	Comment
6:00:00	Synchronize the report at 6:00 am
12:00:00	Synchronize the report at 12:00 midday

The time synchronizes the time of day to run the report and, with the Period, determines when the report is run, for example:

Time	Period
6:00:00	1:00:00

In this example, the report is run every hour, on the hour. If you start your runtime system at 7:25am, your report is run at 8:00am, and then every hour after that.

You can use any Cicode expression (or variable tag) as a trigger for a report. If the result of the expressionA statement (or group of statements) that returns a value. An expression can be a single variable, a mathematical formula, or a function. (in the Trigger field) becomes TRUE, and if the Time and Period fields are blank, the report is run. For example:

Time
Period
Trigger	RCC1_SPEED<10 AND RCC1_MC

This report is only run when the expression (Trigger) becomes TRUE, i.e., when the digital tag RCC1_MC is ON and the analog tag RCC1_SPEED is less than 10. The expression needs to become FALSE and then TRUE again before the report is run again.

If you use the Time and/or Period fields, the trigger is checked at the time and/or period specified, for example:

This report is run each hour, but only if the expression (Trigger) is TRUE (i.e., if the digital tag RCC1_MC is ON and the analog tag RCC1_SPEED is less than 10).

Time	6:00:00
Period	1:00:00
Trigger	RCC1_SPEED<10 AND RCC1_MC

This report is run each hour, but only if the expression (Trigger) is TRUE (i.e., if the digital tag RCC1_MC is ON and the analog tag RCC1_SPEED is less than 10).

If the Time, Period, and Trigger fields are blank, the report can only be run by a command that calls the Report() Cicode function.
