Note! FuelsManager Historical
Reports are created using
Seagate’s Crystal Reports
software package, and access
data from the FuelsManager
Archive Database (See
ArchiveManager). If order to
modify the existing Standard
Historical Reports or to create new
reports, you must purchase and
install Crystal Reports, version 7.0
or greater. Crystal Reports is not
included in the FuelsManager
product.
Historical reports
Historical reports are created using Seagate Crystal Reports. In order to modify or
create new historical reports, it is necessary to purchase Seagate Crystal Reports.
There are nine default report types that can be utilized for the Operate program.
• Current Tank Inventory Report
• Tank Inventory Repeat by Date
• Active Tank Report
• Inactive Tank Report
• Last Full Day Tank Change Report
• 7-Day Tank Change Report
• Last Full Week Tank Change Report
• Last Full Month Tank Change Report
• Month to Date Tank Change Report
By default, FuelsManager installs the Crystal Report Print Engine (the files
necessary to preview and print Crystal Reports). This means it is not necessary to
install Crystal Reports on your FuelsManager machine in order to view and print
reports. It is only necessary to edit existing or create new reports.
In order for new reports to be available in the Operate program, they must be
placed in the FMProject\Reports\Historical Folder.
Historical reports run against the FuelsManager Archive database (see Archiving
Information section). If the necessary data has not been archived, the report will
be incomplete. For example, running a last full month report before the archive
database has accumulated a month (or more) of data will result in an incomplete
report.
All the default FuelsManager historical reports access the archived information
through an ODBC data source called “Historical Reports.” This data source must
point to the FuelsManager archive database. This can be confirmed and, if
necessary, edited with the Windows Administrative Tools, Data Sources (ODBC)
applet.
