Step-by-step description

ISSUE

Please note that in order to properly configure the location status table in your history report template, it is necessary to have some data in this report. This means that you may have to enter some avalanche and/or snowpack observations and complete a workflow with a run list step and submit the ratings to the server before setting up the history report template. We are working on finding a better solution for this. JIRA: -Issue Number (Date)

This step-by-step description will create a history report that includes avalanche observations, snowpack observations and location status information for the last 30 days.

NOTE

While the history report template is not specific about the locations included in the report, the report will by filtered by individual locations when used within the run list and avalanche control workflow modules (i.e., you will only see the history for the particular location or avalanche control route.
