Daily Alarm Report per Device Using Subreports

Build a recurring alarm report that covers a fleet of devices. You will create a subreport template that renders one section per device — showing the device name and its active alarms for the day — and a master report that runs that template across all devices in a single PDF.

1. Navigate to Monitor ⇾ Reports ⇾ Templates.
2. Click + Add report template ⇾ Create new report template.
3. Configure:
   • Name: Daily Device Alarms (Subreport).
   • Format: PDF.
   • Type: Subreport.
4. Click Add to open the Report Builder.
5. Add a Rich text component:
   • Set the datasource:
     • Create a new entity alias:
       • Name: Entity from master report
       • Filter type: Entity from master report
       • Default master report entity: Device
     • Add the data key: name (Entity field type).
   • Include ${name} in the content to show the entity name as a section header.

     The following table lists the alarms of ${name} for the current day.

   • Save the component.
6. Add an Alarm table component:
   • Set the time window to Current day.
   • Use Entity from master report alias as the alarm source.
   • Set the table heading to ${entityName} alarms.
   • Save the component.
7. Add a Divider component:
   • Drag it below the Alarm table to visually separate one device section from the next.
   • Save the component.
8. Click Save in the top-right corner to save the subreport template.

1. Click + Add report template ⇾ Create new report template.
2. Configure:
   • Name: Daily Device Alarms Report.
   • Format: PDF.
   • Type: Report.
3. Click Add to open the Report Builder.
4. Add a Heading component — enter text:

   Daily device alarms report.

5. Add a Subreport component:
   • Datasource: create an entity alias that returns all Device-type entities.
   • Subreport template: select Daily Device Alarms (Subreport).
   • Save the component.
6. Click Save in the top-right corner.

Click Generate test report in the top-right corner. The resulting PDF contains one section per device — each with the device name and its active alarms for the current day.
