CHAPTER 6  DATA PAGE 77

Follow the steps below to create a custom automated data export in report form:

1 Select a report template. e Re por t Te mpl ate drop-down list contains all currently

created report templates on the system. Select the desired template to use as the basis

for data export. If a new template was just created on the Reports tab before switching

over to the Export tab, the new template may not be visible in the drop-down list; click

the Refresh button to reload the templates.

2 Assign a schedule using either the Basic or Advanced tab in the Schedule box. e Ba-

sic tab handles simple schedules consisting of a constant interval between data outputs;

the Advanced schedule tab allows for more complex and robust schedules, including a

start date, end date and user-dened options for days of the week or months of the year

on which to run. Click the Add button once the schedule is dened.

3 Select Sequential or Overwrite as the le operation. Selecting Overwrite from the File

Operation drop-down list will overwrite the previous le with the new le every time

the data export operation is run; selecting Sequential will save a copy of the report

under the same le name with a timestamp attached. ese les will not be overwritten

and will remain in the le system.

4 Set any desired options such as XSLT or email. To use these options, click the appropri-

ate checkbox and ll in a le name or email address in the proper eld. Multiple email

addresses can be added by separating each address with a semicolon.

e XSLT option is used to transform an existing XML document into a new document.

is new document can be in the form of any text-based document including XML, HTML

or plain text. e most eective way to create an XSLT le is to use a commercially available

tool that assists with designing and debugging. Once a correct XSLT le is created, Col-

lector can process that le against a Collector XML export le in order to create the nal

desired format.

Note

Collector is unable to determine if there are problems with the XSLT transformation

(the ﬁle is not compatible with the produced export ﬁle). If there are problems with

the XSLT transformation, the end result ﬁle may be blank. Additional custom XSLT

development may be necessary to debug any transformation issues if the export

ﬁle is not in the proper form when applying a transformation.

5 Click the Create Export Schedule button. Only one automated export can be dened

for Collector at one time. Creating a new export schedule will fail unless the previous

schedule is cancelled rst. Once a schedule is created, it will appear in the Current

Automated Export box.

Current Automated Export

Details about the current automated export will be visible anytime you open the Export tab

in the Current Automated Export box (see Figure 6.13).
