Reports

Tamaki MES adds custom components to Ignition's Reporting module so MES data can be presented in printable, schedulable reports. Report components are placed on a report in the Designer's Report Designer and bound to a data source (typically a Script data source that calls a system.mes.* Script API function and returns the result as the report's dataset).

The general pattern for every MES report component is:

  1. Add a Script data source to the report whose script calls a system.mes.* function and returns the data.
  2. Drop the MES component onto the report and set its Data Key to that data source.
  3. Map the component's key properties (column names) to the fields of the returned objects.

Components
