Maximum report rows

This slider allows the user to define how many records should be returned from the server to generate any report; range is from 10 to 1000, with a default of 200.

Giving this a high value with a 3G network could result in long delays before the report is shown.

Reports

The following standard reports are available from within the app:-  All events last week-  All events this week-  All events today-  All events yesterday-  Expired tokens-  First and last events-  Last known position-  List all users-  Token last used-  Unused tokens-  Who's been in today?If any custom reports have been defined, they will also be listed.

To run a report just touch the relevant title in the list.

Report display

All reports run in the same way.

For example, if you wish to see when a particular token was used by its owner, selecting the 'Token last used' report will display the following screen.

Due to the limited screen size of the iPhone, only 3 columns can be displayed with an icon included where appropriate.

If the device is rotated, the report will spread out.

Columns can be sorted by touching the relevant header. Touching the same header again will reverse the sort order.

The number of rows retrieved from the server is limited to the value defined in Settings. This can be from 10 - 1000.
