Q How do I create Reports and HTML reports?
CX-Supervisor provides a simple yet powerful report generation facility. Using the same 'Points
Substitution' format, a text based template file may be used to generate a report. Good formats are
.TXT, .RTF and .HTML. Binary formats like Word .DOC can be problematic although RTF can
usually be used in these cases.
These generated files may then be viewed, or distributed using a file server or web server. Note that
although information may be textual or graphical in nature these reports are intended for non real-
time output of data only, and not for monitoring or control.
See documentation for "GenerateReport" script function for more information, and the "Coffee
Tutorial" Step 12 in the CX-Supervisor Getting Started Manual.
See -> "How do I make an HTML report update and refresh automatically?"
Q How do I make an HTML report update and refresh automatically?
CX-Supervisor supports the generation of dynamic text and HTML reports from a static template -
see "GenerateReport" script function for details.
However, Web Browsers views all pages as static pages. There is a very simple HTML trick that will
force the browser to reload or "Refresh" the HTML report that would then show any updates,
assuming GenerateReport had been called again e.g. On Condition when the data changes.
To an existing HTML page add the following line. This must be inserted between the <head> and
</head> markers:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=Report.htm">
