Mit der Workflow Manager-Lizenz verfügbar.

ArcGIS Workflow Manager (Classic) provides a simple reporting engine that allows you to build reports about the work being managed in your Workflow Manager (Classic) system. The Report Manager is used to build and edit the reports in ArcGIS Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator. The reports are executed in the Workflow Manager (Classic) application.

Profile tab

The following options are available on the Profile tab.

• Display Name—The display name is used to identify the report in the report table of contents.
• Title—The title that will appear at the top of the report when generated.
• Description (Optional)—Allows you to enter more descriptive information about the information being summarized in the report. This text will be displayed under the title when using the report style sheet provided with Workflow Manager (Classic).
• Category—The category serves as an organizational tool for the reports. Use this property to organize your reports. The information provided here will be used to build the report table of contents.

Report Fields tab

The fields selected on this tab represent the information that will be displayed in your reports. These fields are also used in summarizing and grouping the report results.

Display Names tab

You can replace a field name with an alias—your own descriptive text—to help clarify its meaning. Also, you can choose the order in which the fields will be presented.

Input Filter tab

You can specify queries and conditions to limit the information used in the report results. For example, you may only want to report on active jobs or work assigned to a particular user or group of users. Dynamic reports can be created using the token [REPORTUI:value] in the value field of the filter. When the report is previewed or executed, a Filter Report dialog box is displayed to input a value to filter the report. The name of the filter to be displayed on the dialog box is based on the value provided in the token; for example, [REPORTUI:Start Date] would display Start Date on the dialog box.

Hinweis:

A value in the reporting token is required.

Hinweis:

When defining the filters for your reports, if you switch to the SQL view, you can no longer view or edit the SQL statement formed in the design view.

Row Summary tab

With this option, you can group records together and calculate summary statistics. For example, you may want to know how many jobs there are for each unique combination of job status, job type, and assignment.

Report Sections tab

You may want to further organize your report by creating groups of records based on a specific field. You can do this by checking the Enable Report Sections check box and choosing which report field the groups should be based on. To summarize information for this group of records, choose the field and calculation type.

Output Style tab

When a report is executed, Workflow Manager (Classic) returns XML. Workflow Manager (Classic) uses XSLT stylesheets to transform the XML into a more user-friendly format. A couple of different stylesheets are provided with Workflow Manager (Classic) in the <installation location>/Config/Reporting/Stylesheets directory. You are presented with a preview of the report by clicking Preview Report.

Permissions tab

You can control who accesses the reports by restricting access for certain groups in your Workflow Manager (Classic) system. For example, you may want only users that belong to the managers group to be able to view reports in the system. By checking the Restrict access to the following groups check box and enabling the Manager group, you make users in the Technician group unable to see this report listed in the application when they activate the report view.

Hinweis:

Users that have admin access will be able to view and execute all reports in the repositories they have admin access to.

Manage Workflow Manager (Classic) reports

You can create customized reports, modify existing reports, and delete the reports that are no longer required in the Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator.

Create a report

You will define the look and feel of your reports in Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator. These reports will be available to the users via the report view in the application.

1. Start ArcGIS Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator and connect to your Workflow Manager (Classic) database.
2. Right-click Reports and click Add Report.

   The Report Manager dialog box appears.

3. Provide a display name, title, and category.
4. Click the Report Fields tab.
5. Double-click or drag the fields you want to add to the report to the column on the right.
6. Click the Display Names tab.
7. Update the field Presentation Names as necessary.

   For example, you can change the alias from JTX_JOB_TYPES.JOB_TYPE to Job Type.

8. Click the Input Filter tab.
9. Define the query you want to apply to your reports.

   For example, you might want your reports to show only high-priority jobs.

10. Optionally, click the Row Summary tab and choose how to calculate summary statistics for each unique combination of records specified by the report fields selected.

    You can calculate the maximum, minimum, sum, count, average, and standard deviation for any numerical field in the Workflow Manager (Classic) system tables being used in the report.

11. Click the Report Sections tab and choose the field on which you want to group your results.
    1. By checking the Enable Record Sections check box, you select the first field in the Report Fields tab as the group field.
    2. Select a calculation type from the drop-down list and specify a label.

       The calculation is performed on the first field on the Report Fields tab.

12. Click the Output Style tab to choose a stylesheet for your report; by default, Standard is selected.

    The sample template provided by Workflow Manager (Classic) is located in the <Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator installation location>\Config\Reporting\Stylesheets directory.

13. Click Preview Report to make sure information is presented the way you want.
14. Click the Permissions tab and restrict report access to a certain group or groups by clicking Restrict access to the following groups and selecting the groups.
15. Click OK.

    The report is added to the list of reports in Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator. It is also available to users in the Workflow Manager (Classic) application.

Edit a report

After reports have been created, you can still make changes to them.

1. Start Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator and connect to your Workflow Manager (Classic) database.
2. Click Reports.

   A list of existing reports is displayed on the right view.

3. Right-click the report you want to edit and click Edit Item.
4. Update report settings as necessary.
5. Click OK to save the report.

2. Click Reports.

   A list of existing reports is displayed on the right view.

3. Right-click the report you want to delete and click Delete Item.

Create dynamic reports

Dynamic reports can be created using the reporting token [REPORTUI:value]. When the report is previewed or executed, a Filter Report dialog box appears and provides the value to filter the report, and the name of the filter is based on the value provided in the token. The report can be configured to input a range of values or one value. The token can be added either to the input filter or the SQL query.

Report with dynamic filter ranges

Job reports can be based on a range of values; two input filters are added with the reporting token to indicate the range. For example, to display the jobs created in a date range, one filter is used to indicate the start of the date range and another to indicate the end of the date range.

Multiple ranges can be used to filter the report by adding additional filters. For example, to filter jobs based on job ID and creation dates using a range, the following four filters can be added as input filters:

Job.Created Date > [REPORTUI:Start Date]	JTX_JOBS.CREATED_DATE > '[REPORTUI:Start Date]'
Job.Created Date < [REPORTUI:End Date]	JTX_JOBS.CREATED_DATE < '[REPORTUI:End Date]'
Job.Job Id > [REPORTUI:From Job ID]	JTX_JOBS.JOB_ID < '[REPORTUI:From Job ID]'
Job.Job Id < [REPORTUI:To Job ID]	JTX_JOBS.JOB_ID > '[REPORTUI:To Job ID]'

Report with one dynamic filter

Job reports can be generated based on one dynamic value when a range of values is not required. For example, to display jobs started before a certain date, only one filter is added.

Job.Started Date < [REPORTUI:Jobs Started Before]

JTX_JOBS.STARTED_DATE < '[REPORTUI:Jobs Started Before]'

The report will be generated to display jobs that started before the date provided on the Filter Report dialog box.
