Browsing generated reports

Find, open and download past reports.

Every report Pyron makes is kept, whether an automation made it when something happened or on a schedule. The reports list is where you find a past report, read it again and save a copy.

The reports list

Open Setup and select Reports. The page lists every generated report with the most recent at the top, and more load as you scroll down.

The Reports page in Setup, with the search box and the Template, Created and Format filters above a table of five generated reports. Each row shows the report's name, such as Daily Site Report followed by its date, the template it came from, the date it was created and its format, HTML.The Reports page in Setup, with the search box and the Template, Created and Format filters above a table of five generated reports. Each row shows the report's name, such as Daily Site Report followed by its date, the template it came from, the date it was created and its format, HTML.

Each row shows four things:

ColumnWhat it tells you
NameThe name the report was given when it was generated.
TemplateThe template the report came from. A dash means that template has since been deleted. The report itself stays in the list.
Created atThe date the report was generated.
FormatPDF for a report kept as a PDF file. HTML for an older report kept only as a web page you read inside Pyron.

A report captures your data as it stood when it was made, so it never changes afterwards. For how a fresh one gets made, see Previewing and generating and Report schedules.

Narrowing the list

The search box and the filters above the table work together, so each one you set narrows the list further:

  • Search reports finds reports whose name, or whose template's name, contains the text you type. Capital letters do not matter.
  • Template shows only the reports one template produced.
  • Created opens a date picker. Pick a start and an end date to see reports generated on those days and every day between.
  • Format shows only PDF reports or only HTML reports.

Clear a filter to widen the list again.

Opening a report

Select a row to open that report. It opens in a window over the list, titled with the report's name, and shows the finished document exactly as it was generated.

What you see depends on the report's format:

  • An HTML report appears as a web page inside the window. Scroll within it to read the whole document.
  • A PDF report opens in your browser's own PDF viewer. Use that viewer's controls to download the file, print it or zoom in.

Close the window to return to the list, with your filters still in place.
