Reporting - Function - Duration
From VersaVision Support
Reporting is where the user can generate reports based on the data collected by the VersaVision software. There are multiple components inside Reporting, this page is focused on the Duration Function.
When the user selects to setup a Mixed or Pie Chart report and selects to add a Data Series, the Function option will be enabled. This Function allows the user to define what type of data will be used in the Data Series.
The Duration Function allows the user to show the total amount of time a Monitoring Point was active. Generally this would be used on a Process or Alert Monitoring Point.
After adding a new report or editing an existing report, the user will need to select or setup a cell with a Data Series selected. When this is selected the Function field will be available.
