Several annual, monthly, daily and special summary reports come standard with DataSight and are a fixed type reporting solution. You can simply select the date ranges, levels and variables from your database and the type of summary (total, average etc) that you wish to view in a report. You cannot change the report layouts but you can determine the output file type and save them to Saved Views.
For the most part, the reports are tabular summary statistic reports (such as average, maxima, minima and totals) for a designated time period as indicated in the table below and are therefore sometimes referred to as Tabular Reports. More specialised report templates have been built for Meteorological and Hydrological Data, such as Rainfall Intensity, Wind Roses, IDF Curves and Pentads.

Note |
In preparing a Summary Report, DataSight operates only on numeric values, extracted from the value string. For example, <0.1 is treated as 0.1 for the purposes of generating the report. Only records that are able to generate a numeric value are included in the record count. Records whose data values are non-numeric will be ignored. |
