Hello.

I'm new to the form, I hope I'm asking this question correctly

Is there a tutorial with instructions on how I can create my own custom reports?

I have already managed to edit some existing reports, but I intend to create my own reports.

Hi JP,

We don't have any tutorials I'm afraid. The report writer is quite complex conceptually, and as not very many users do a great deal of report customisation, we usually offer to create reports for them, as time allows.

That said, we usually recommend using an existing report as a basis for creating new ones. Feel free to explore and ask any more specific questions here. The basic way to think of the reporting is that every report record contains all the fields that can be reported. The report template controls how these records are sorted and filtered to display the necessary information in the desired way.

You may find the attached file of some limited use - it is the help for the third party report component that we use. It is actually a CHM file, so after downloading it, rename it to "Rep8.chm" before you open it.

Good afternoon.

Regarding the travel time report, the areas irrigated with drip tubes have very irregular shapes here in our region in Brazil, and calculating the travel time is a challenge. Since the travel time in our region is mostly related to the length of the drip lines, it is not feasible to use the report models currently available.

We did some tests and I believe I found a solution for our projects, but I don't know how to change the report. Instead of using the longest time of the drip lines (this can be a problem in very short lines with low-flow pipe sections), I thought about using the average travel time of each valve in the report. This time seems to be very close to our reality.

The "Travel Time Summary Report" is very good, but it would be much better to use the average travel time of the drip lines for each valve.

The "Zone Travel Time Report" seems to have all the information needed to obtain the average. I did a test in Excel with the averages and it came out very well. Now I have the challenge of creating the report.

In the past (2012) I did a training course at Netafim on how to edit/improve some reports, but I don't remember or learn enough to do it alone, I need your help.

It would be a great help to make this improvement to the report.

Thank you
