Customer would like to be able to Reject a generated report.

Attaching the files rather than sending the link

The RtReport batch end time and duration should show N/A or * while the batch is still in progress. Users might be generating the report and commenting on it before the batch ends. The current format could cause confusion for the user by showing the time that the report has been generated as the batch end time for a batch that has not been completed yet.

As mentioned in case 00677743, we wish to be able to format the X axis also.

For example 15 minutes step. Or 4 grid-lines per trend.

Also the time value is formatted as integer, e.g. 11.75 hour(s).
would be nicer if 11 hours 45 minutes.

Cosmetic things.

Thank you

Allow an option to have objects to be displayed on a specific page in the Page Footer

all the report's approval, verification status saved in the Annotation of the PI Tag, we want to develop a customized application to monitor the tag value to report the system administrator the status of the batch report approval in real-time. That approval and verification information is encrypted as a byte array in the annotation, we hope Osisoft can help us to transfer that byte array to readable string.

Some customers are using the same RtReports Server to connect to both PI Data Archives (for batches) and Asset Framework Servers (for Event Frames) since they are using both at the same time. They'd like to be able to store both DA and AF/Database in the Generator, so there's no need to click around selecting them.

A table row with wrapped text can be split across multiple pages. Provide the ability to shift the entire table row to the next page if it would be split across pages.

Provide the ability to filter report templates in the RtReports generator by primary referenced element for event frame reports.

It would be useful to have the possibility to include EFs in a Time Based Template.

For example:

• if downtime events are recorded as Event Frames, I would like to report on all the downtime EFs occurred in the last month (for example), including acknowledges and annotations.


• Using PI Connector for Siemens Simatic PCS7, conditions end-up in PI Event Frames accompanied with a related set of static and dynamic attributes. Having the possibility of including Conditions EFs in a time based report could be useful.

Provide the ability to show a Time Zone Information with date time on a Report.

The current RtReports does not have any "next line" control character/object that customer is using Text object: </br> which is not recommended by OSIsoft developer

As a RtReports user, I would like the context level I select in the RtReports Generator to be the context used in the generated report. For example, if I click on a PIUnitBatch I would expect to see only data from within the start and end time of the PIUnitBatch. The current behavior is to crawl up to the top level of the batch structure and use that for the context of the generated report.

Provide the possability to send notifications based on the approval-cycle status of the report.
For example: In a "two-steps" approval cycle, send a notification to the final approval group when the first group approved the report.

When editing the report Criteria in RtReports, editing the text fields leaves the "OK" button grayed out. In the attached screenshot, the user has edited the "Recipe" criteria field and then clicked into the "Product" criteria field. The "OK" button remains grayed out. The same behavior also exists if you use the Tab key to change fields.

Currently, the user must hit the Enter key in order to have the changes picked up, which enables the "OK" button. This can be confusing, especially for new users that do not know of this requirement.

As a PI User, if I comment and approve a report in RTReports, I would like to have the ability to view those comments approvals, etc in other PI visualization tools like DataLink and PI Vision. 

If Comments, approvals, esigs could be attached to the associated EF and stored in the AF database, this data set would be more easily consumed by others in my organisation.

As an RTReports administrator I would like to have the ability to incorporate comments and annotations that users attach to Event Frames .  For example, I would like generate a notification report for a unit over a period of time - PI notifications now stores acknowledgments, comments, approvals and I think severity in the AF database.  when generating my notification report I would like to incorporate this data into my report.

As an report designer, I would like to be able to choose the position of the legend on Trends.

As an RtReports administrator, I would like to set my reports to only require the review cycle to be completed if the batch data is flagged as questionable. Otherwise, no manual review should be required.

Provide the ability to change the position (bottom/top/left/right and so on) of the Approvals Table in the Report. Currently, it always shows up on the top of the report.
