<p>CENTO is a multifunctional software platform for data collection, processing, and display. This guide describes the flexible reporting tool in CENTO.</p>

138

139

<p>It is assumed that the user, having read the User Manual, is already familiar with the basic elements of the CENTO interface.</p>

140

141

<p>Flexible reports in CENTO are designed to create, edit, upload, and download Excel reports based on collected data. This function allows reports of any form and composition to be created.</p>

142

143

<p>Flexible reports can be created both within a single time unit (day, month, year) and for a period specified by the user.</p>

144

145

<p>The manual describes the following operations:</p>

146

<ul>

147

<li>Creating and editing report templates in the web interface</li>

148

<li>Generating reports from templates</li>

149

<li>Viewing and editing created reports</li>

150

<li>Downloading and uploading report files in Excel format with version control</li>

</ul>

157

158

<p>The core of the flexible reports functionality is a query language that enables extraction of archived data from the database. Excel (.xlsx) files are used to work with this data.</p>

159

160

<p>There are two types of files:</p>

161

<ul>

162

<li><strong>Template</strong> — defines the layout and structure of a report, including queries to archived data.</li>

163

<li><strong>Report</strong> — a ready-made document generated from a template that contains the data received as a result of filling in the cells.</li>

</ul>

<p>The template is generated by the user as an .xlsx file and then uploaded via CENTO forms. Queries are entered into the cells of the template, and the system inserts the resulting value into the cell where the query was placed. Editing of the report template is also available through the web interface, as described in section 3.</p>

168

169

<p>The template can contain multiple sheets, Excel formulas, charts, conditional formatting, and a summary report. An example of the generated sheet of an .xlsx file is shown in Figure 2.1.</p>

177

178

<p>Timestamps can be specified in the query language to transmit information about the date and time associated with the report. There are four types of timestamps:</p>

179

<ul>

180

<li><code>#created</code> — displays the date and time when the report was created.</li>

181

<li><code>#related</code> — displays the date associated with the report (in flexible reports for a period, the timestamp is ignored).</li>

182

<li><code>#begin</code> — displays the start date of the report period (only for flexible reports for a period).</li>

183

<li><code>#end</code> — displays the end date of the report period (only for flexible reports for a period).</li>

</ul>

191

<p>The query is divided into 4 parts/groups separated by the <code>:</code> symbol. For reports for a day, month, and year, the query is built as described in Figure 2.2.</p>

<p class="fig-cap">Figure 2.2. Query format example</p>

196

</div>

197

198

<p>For example, the query <code>y-m-d:h10-m00:el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum</code> consists of the following parts. The last part, <code>sum</code>, is optional.</p>

199

<ol>

200

<li>

201

<p><strong><code>y-m-d:</code></strong> — means the year, month, and day values from the date associated with the report will be inserted into the query. Only part of the date can be used. For example, <code>y2024-m-d</code> fixes the year to 2024 while substituting month and day. <code>y2024-m2-d</code> fixes the year to 2024, the month to February, and substitutes only the day.</p>

202

<p>The <code>d</code> can be omitted (<code>y-m:</code>), or both <code>m</code> and <code>d</code> can be omitted (<code>y:</code>), meaning the entire interval is considered: the full annual interval if only the year is specified, or the full monthly interval if the year and month are specified.</p>

203

<p>The first two parts of the query can be replaced with the <code>#date</code> formula as described in Table 2.3 below.</p>

204

</li>

205

<li>

206

<p><strong><code>h10-m00</code></strong> — means that values for the specified hour and minute will be inserted. Omitting seconds means the entire minute interval is of interest (from 10:00:00 to 10:00:59). To sample an hour, write <code>h10</code> omitting minutes and seconds. To omit time entirely (e.g. for daily data), write <code>*</code> in place of the time: <code>y-m-d::el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum</code>.</p>

207

</li>

208

<li>

209

<p><strong><code>el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m</code></strong> has the following parts:</p>

210

<ul>

211

<li><code>el</code> — electrical data. Other measurements (heat, pressure, etc.) use <code>en</code> (energy).</li>

212

<li><code>dev-30</code> — device with ID 30. Instead of <code>dev</code>, use <code>bg</code> for billing groups (e.g. <code>el-bg-22-30m</code>).</li>

213

<li><code>ea_imp</code> — the data channel. Available electricity channels:

214

<code>ea_imp</code>, <code>ea_exp</code>, <code>er_imp</code>, <code>er_exp</code>,

215

<code>pa_imp</code>, <code>pa_exp</code>, <code>pr_imp</code>, <code>pr_exp</code>,

216

217

<li><code>3m</code> — interval. Options include <code>1m</code>, <code>3m</code>, <code>15m</code>, <code>20m</code>, <code>30m</code>, <code>1h</code>, <code>1d</code>, and others supported by the device.</li>

218

</ul>

219

<p>For energy (<code>en</code>) measurements, channels are encoded by number: <code>en-dev-30-15-3m</code> requests 3-minute data for channel ID 15 on device 30.</p>

220

<p>In query formulas, device IDs can be replaced with device codes. Device codes can contain Latin letters, e.g. <code>P22S1Y8</code>. The formula <code>y-m-d1:*:el-dev-201-ea_imp-30m:sum</code> can be written as <code>y-m-d1:*:E123457ea_imp:sum</code>.</p>

221

</li>

222

<li>

223

<p><strong><code>sum</code></strong> — aggregation function. Available functions: <code>sum</code>, <code>min</code>, <code>max</code>, <code>mean</code>. An optional coefficient can follow: <code>sum-k0.1</code> multiplies the result by 0.1.</p>

</li>

</ol>

<p>For flexible <strong>period</strong> reports, use <code>#begin-#end</code> instead of a specific date (<code>y-m-d</code>). For example, <code>#begin-#end:h10-m00:el-dev-30-ea_imp-3m:sum</code> sums the active energy from device 30 from 10:00 at the start to 10:00 at the end of the user-defined period.</p>

229

230

<p>Period reports also support time offsets by day: <code>#end+2d</code> or <code>#begin-1d</code>. Queries using only <code>#begin</code> or <code>#end</code> will fill the cell with the value for that point in time only.</p>

231

232

<p>The <code>#date</code> formula provides an extended query toolkit. The comparison between <code>y-m-d</code> and <code>#date</code> formats is shown in Table 2.3.</p>
