This document describes the general reporting functionality of the InfoEx application. Detailed descriptions of how to customize InfoEx reports are included in separate documents that are linked at the bottom of this page.

Background

The report functionality is the central piece of the InfoEx application. It is this part of the application that allows subscribers to develop a better understanding of the conditions around them.

InfoEx reports can be accessed by clicking on the 'REPORTS' menu in the top left corner of the application. When you log into the application, the reports section automatically opens and the tabular view of the default report CAA and CAC Messages is loaded.

In comparison to the old InfoEx system that only produced a single report, the new system allows subscribers to fully customize their report to better fit their information needs and allow them to absorb the information in an efficient manner.

In addition to the traditional Tabular view of the InfoEx report, the new application also provides a Map view and a Chart view of the InfoEx data to visualize the available data. The following paragraphs provide short overview of the functionalities of these of these report views.

Tabular view

The tabular view is the default view of the InfoEx report. It is the view in which users can fully customize the content and layout of their InfoEx report. The choices made in this view determine what data is shown in the Map and Chart view of the InfoEx report.

The tabular view of the InfoEx offers the following options for customizing the content of an InfoEx report:

The tabular view of the InfoEx also offers the following options for customizing the layout of an InfoEx report:

Once the content and layout of an InfoEx report has been specified, users with Operation Administration levels or higher can save the customized InfoEx report as a template for future use.

These templates are then accessible to all users of your operation in the 'REPORTS' sections of the application. In addition, the application contains a number of standard reports that are accessible to all users of the system

The same templates are also accessible through the Report workflow module and all users of your operation can sign up for the nightly email delivery of these reports.

Map view

Click on the Map to access the map view of the Infoex report. This view offers a geospatial perspective of the data included in the tabular view of the InfoEx report.

In addition to specifying the content of the map in the Tabular view, users can also change its content directly by :

The map view currently supports the following layers:

NOTE The currently supported map layers are intended as a starting point, but the possibilities for additional map view layers are endless. We depend critically on the input of InfoEx subscribers to develop meaningful map representations of the information exchanged within the InfoEx. Please let us know your thoughts.

Chart view

The intention of the chart view is to provide summary graphs and time series charts of the data included in the tabular view of the InfoEx report.

NOTE We have noticed a few inconsistencies between the data included in the tabular report and what is shown in the chart view. To avoid any confusion, we have currently disabled the chart view. We will include the chart view in the application again as soon as these issues have been resolved.
