Download a Historical Report
This is a procedural topic for supervisors and administrators describing how to download a historical report from the dashboard to your computer.
Prerequisites
- You have logged in to storm with your user log in credentials and then launched the VIEW application. See Log in to storm and Launch VIEW.
- A historical dashboard has been set up by an administrator. See Create a Dashboard for Historical Reports.
- You are familiar with the VIEW Dashboard Interface.
Procedure
-
On the dashboard, run the report and display the results in the desired format.
-
Click the
button below the title bar of the report you want to download and then, if prompted, select the desired download format (this will depend on the displayed format).
A graphical report is downloaded to your computer's Downloads folder as a PNG file; other display formats can be downloaded in CSV (Comma Separate Value) or in XLS (Microsoft Excel) format.
Note: downloading a very large report in XLS format (100,000 cells or more) is a memory-intensive process. Such a report is automatically queued, re-run and then downloaded as a background task. See Run historical reports in the background.
