Reports and Charts
- Dominik Lindenberger
Overview
Through reports and charts, you can get insights about an individual part’s AM suitability for printing or get an overview of the entire part portfolio.
A report can contain one or multiple charts. Charts get their input from one or several scores.
Defining Reports
Reports are defined in the admin panel at
Home › B3_Ampi › Reports
The following fields are available when defining a report
Name
The display name of the report in the UI. Can be multi-language.
Description
Additional description for the report. Displayed together with the name in the UI on the Reports view. Not displayed on the Part Detail view. Can be multi-language.
Show in part details
When selected, this report will be a selectable choice on the Part Detail view. Otherwise, it will be hidden.
Show in reports
When selected, this report will be a selectable choice on the Reports view. Otherwise, it will be hidden.
Sort priority
Defines the relative order of items in the UI. E.g. an item with Sort priority = 100 is displayed before an item with sort priority = 110.
A report can have multiple charts configured. Charts can be created directly while configuring a report.
Defining Charts
Charts are best created through the report form while creating or configuring a report.
The following fields are available within the report form when adding or configuring charts
Type
The type of chart. Choose from Scatter Plot, Histogram, Text. See below for more information on the types
Name
The display name of the chart in the UI. Can be multi-language.
Description
Additional description for the chart. Displayed together with the name in the UI on both Reports and Part detail view. Can be multi-language.
Show in part details
When selected, this chart will be shown on the Part Detail view if the corresponding report is selected. Otherwise, it will be hidden.
Show in reports
When selected, this chart will be shown on the Reports view if the corresponding report is selected. Otherwise, it will be hidden. Charts of type Text often make sense to show only on the Part detail view but not in the Reports view across all parts.
Sort priority
Defines the relative order of items in the UI. E.g. an item with Sort priority = 100 is displayed before an item with sort priority = 110.
Within each chart, one or several scores need to be linked so that the chart can display data. To navigate to the chart from the report configuration use Change.
Chart types
The following chart types are currently supported
Scatter Plot
Scatter Plots depict data on an X- and Y-Axis. Therefore, they require exactly two numerical scores as an input. The name of the score is shown as the axis label.
Example of a scatter plot shown on the Part Detail view. The chart contains only information about the current part.
Example of a scatter plot shown on the Report view.
The dots are clickable and take you to the Part Detail view of the corresponding part. Larger dots indicate that there is more than one part at this location.
Histogram
Histogram charts require one or several numerical scores as input. Selecting one of the bars in the chart displays a list of the parts that are included in that bar. Clicking on the score in the top left can hide or show the respective bars.
Example histogram with three input scores
The same chart with only one of the scores selected
Text
Text charts display the results of text scores. Text scores, unlike numerical scores, produce a text result (string). The text chart displays the content of the string. Text charts can interpret Markdown-formatted strings and display them accordingly. The Markdown version used is VueMarkdown.
