Reports

Reports turn a plant's data for a month, a quarter or a year into a document you can send — to an owner, a lender, an investor or your own team. What a report contains is up to your organization: a report template lists the chapters, each chapter shows the data you pick as tables, graphs, lists and text, and your organization's own metrics sit next to the platform's figures. One template can serve solar, wind and battery plants, because every chapter switches on only for the plant types its data exists for.

A generated report starts as a draft that you review and publish. The published version downloads as PDF, Word, Excel, CSV or JSON, written in any of six languages.

Templates and Chapters

A report template is the ordered list of chapters a report is built from. Mirox ships a template that is ready to use — Plant Overview: plant profile, energy yield and performance, with charts — and a set of example chapters to start from. Shipped templates and chapters carry a Shipped badge. They cannot be changed, but Duplicate gives you a copy of your own to adapt.

A chapter is a part of a report made of blocks:

A data block shows what you pick in the data picker: the platform's time series (production, irradiance, availability, curtailment, battery, weather, market prices and more), events, core data and your organization's metrics. The picker marks every item with the plant types it works on and offers only what the chosen plant can deliver. It has a tab for each kind of data — time series, events and core data — and while it is open, every tab keeps what you picked in it and counts it on the tab; a block shows the kind of data of the tab you confirm on. Inside a tab, every category counts its picks as well, and changing a block's data opens the categories that hold what the block shows. The report editor shows a live preview on a real plant while you build.

The report editor draws the report the way it prints. Every chapter sits on an A4 page of its own, as in the PDF, in the report's design — its typeface, sizes, colours and margins: the numbered chapter headings, the tables with their coloured header row and alternating rows, the charts at their printed size, the title page with the plant picture, and the header and footer of every page with the Mirox logo and your company logo. What you type — a title, a description, a comment — appears in place, in the printed type. The editing tools take no room on the page: a chapter's caption and buttons sit above its page, and a block's toolbar appears when you point at the block or tap it. Every chapter starts on a new page, in the PDF and the Word file as in the editor. Inside a chapter the editor does not break pages: a chapter longer than one page shows as one long page, and once a report is generated, Pages shows the finished document with its real page breaks. In dark mode the pages stay white, like paper.

A chapter sits in a template in one of two ways:

• From the chapter library — the chapters listed under Chapter templates on the Templates tab. A library chapter is shared: change it once and every template that places it changes too. The Used in column shows how many templates place it.
• Written in the template — a chapter that belongs to this one template only.

When you change a library chapter inside a template, Mirox asks where the change belongs: Update the library chapter (every template using it changes), Save as a new library chapter, or Keep it here only.

Each chapter also decides what happens when a plant cannot deliver its data for the period (If unavailable): by default the report says the data is missing, so a gap is never mistaken for a zero; alternatively the chapter is left out.

A chapter that prints money — revenue, compensation, settlement — needs the accounting permission on the plant. Whoever generates or regenerates a report with such a chapter needs the Operator or Asset Manager job role there. The figures build on the plant's Market & Tariffs configuration.

Retire or Delete

• Retire takes a template or chapter out of use without losing it. A retired template is no longer offered when generating; a retired library chapter is left out of the templates that place it. Activate brings it back.
• Delete removes it for good, and only while nothing depends on it:
  • A template from which reports were generated cannot be deleted — its Reports column shows how many. The dialog links to those reports and offers to retire the template instead.
  • A library chapter that templates still place cannot be deleted. The dialog lists those templates, each with an Open link; take the chapter out of them first, or retire it.
  • A metric that templates or chapters use cannot be deleted either — see Where a metric is used.

Templates, chapters and metrics belong to the organization. The organization roles Admin, Moderator, Asset Manager (Technical) and Asset Manager (Commercial) create, duplicate, change, retire, delete and restore them; the other members of the organization see them and use them when they generate reports.

Private

A template, a library chapter or a metric can be marked Private when you create or edit it. Private limits only who may change it — never who sees or uses it:

• A private template, chapter or metric is changed, retired, deleted and restored only by the person who created it, an Admin or a Moderator. If its creator is no longer in the organization, only Admins and Moderators can change it.
• Everyone in the organization still sees it and uses it: reports are generated from a private template, a private chapter is placed in templates, a private metric is used in chapters and alert rules. Everyone who may create templates can Duplicate it; the copy is not private and belongs to whoever made it. Save as template from a report also creates a template that is not private.
• Only the creator, an Admin or a Moderator may switch Private on or off. An Asset Manager may change someone else's template that is not private, but cannot make it private.
• A template's own chapters follow their template; library chapters have their own Private option.

Plant Types

Mirox knows three plant types: Solar, Wind and Battery. A plant can combine them:

You never set a plant type on a template or a chapter — Mirox works it out from the data:

• A chapter needs the plant types of the data its blocks read. A battery state of charge makes it a Battery chapter; the performance ratio, specific yield or module temperature make it a Solar chapter; production and revenue work on solar and wind plants alike. Data that every plant has — weather, market prices, events, core data — needs no type, and such a chapter shows All plant types.
• A metric needs the plant types of the series it reads — see Metrics.
• A template covers the plant types of its chapters. It is offered on a plant when all of its chapters work on every plant type, or when at least one chapter that needs a plant type applies to that plant. A chapter for all plant types never makes a template appear on its own: a battery template with a weather chapter is not offered on a plant without a battery.

A chapter applies to a plant that has at least one of its plant types. When the plant has none of them, its report leaves the chapter out — whatever the chapter's If unavailable setting says — and names it on the last page of the PDF and Word file, for example "Not included for this plant: Storage (needs Battery)". One template for solar plants with and without storage therefore gives each plant exactly the report it can fill.

Where you see it:

• Plant types columns on the templates, chapters and metrics tables. The templates table filters by plant type, and a template's hint lists the plant configurations it is offered on.
• The chapter editor shows Appears on as you add data, and "Not included for plant: needs Battery" when the preview plant does not qualify.
• The report editor strikes out chapters the preview plant does not get, and lists them above the pages.
• The generate dialog names the chapters a plant will not get, and explains why a template is not offered.

Generating a Report

A report is generated for one plant and one period — a month, a quarter or a year — from a template, in the report language you choose. Generate builds it straight from the template; Customize first opens the report editor so you can change the chapters of this one report before generating, while the template stays as it is. A few seconds later the report is there as a draft.

• A period can be generated once it has ended. Data that is not final yet does not stop you — see Data readiness.
• Templates that do not apply to the plant are not offered — see Plant types.
• Each generation is a report of its own; the list can be filtered by template, plant, portfolio, language, status and period.
• A report keeps the chapters it was generated with, so a later change to the template never alters a report you already sent. Such a report is marked Out of date but keeps its content; to use the changed template, generate a new report from it, or change the report's chapters in the report editor.

Drafts and Publishing

Every generated report starts as a Draft. A draft is complete — every figure is computed — but it is not released yet: it waits for someone to check it. Look through its pages in the preview and, where needed, add your own words in the report editor: a note on the cover, a comment or text between blocks, a footnote, a renamed title, or a hidden block. Numbers are computed and cannot be edited. Then Publish it.

Publishing freezes the report exactly as it looks and makes its downloads available to everyone in your organization who may read this plant's reports. Each publish counts as a new version of the report (Version 2, Version 3 …). In the report editor, Published stands in place of the button as long as nothing has changed since; a change brings Publish back.

The list names who is behind each report: the Published column gives the date of the last publication — with Version 2, Version 3 … beside it once a report was published more than once — and, under it, who published it; the Plant column shows the plant with its plant type, its portfolio and the organization the plant belongs to. The report's Details show who published it (Published), who generated it last (Last generated), who created it (Created, when that was someone else or the report was regenerated since) and, while a draft has changes, who edited it last (Draft last edited); the preview names them in a line under the report's description. A person appears the way the rest of Mirox shows people, with their initials and their email address: point at them to see their name, organization, email address and phone number, and their roles. Dates and times follow your browser's regional settings. Someone whose account no longer exists is not named. What else happened to a report is in the activity trail.

Two markers can appear next to the status: Preliminary — generated before all of its data was final (see Data readiness) — and Out of date: the template changed after the report was generated, or an official price or market value was revised since.

A report is also marked Out of date when Mirox recomputed the settled curtailment of a month in its period after the report was generated. The note names the month and the date of the change; Regenerate the report to pick up the new values.

Regenerating Keeps the Published Version

Regenerate rebuilds a report from current data — after a late settlement, a revised market value, or once preliminary data is final. The report goes back to Draft, and the text you wrote is kept; text whose place disappeared is listed afterwards. Until you publish again, the last published version stays downloadable: every download gives that version, and the status hint says that a newer draft is waiting. The same holds when you change a published report's chapters in the editor, and when a regeneration fails.

Who may do what on a plant's reports (your organization role gives you a job role on the organization's plants — see the Permission System):

• Generate and publish — Operator, Technical Manager, Asset Manager and Viewer.
• Regenerate — Operator, Technical Manager or Asset Manager.
• Delete a report — Operator.
• A template with money chapters additionally needs the accounting permission: Operator or Asset Manager.

Data Readiness

Not all of a period's data is final when the period ends. Each kind of data becomes final at its own time:

Working days are Monday to Friday, without the nationwide German public holidays. Every template has a readiness class — the kind of its slowest data. Only chapters that apply to the plant count: a chapter the plant does not get never holds its report back.

Generating early is allowed. A report generated before its data is final is marked Preliminary: the badge tells you until which date its figures may still change, and the cover of the PDF and Word file prints "Preliminary — data may still change until date". Regenerate it after that date for the final report.

Every table and chart that reads a metric whose data is not final yet carries a footnote naming the metric and the date its data is expected to be final; the provenance page at the end of the PDF and Word file lists these metrics. When you publish such a report, the confirmation lists the affected metrics and offers Regenerate first once their data has become final since, or Publish anyway.

The Readiness Timeline

The Data readiness timeline at the top of the Reports tab answers one question at a glance: can the full report of a month, a quarter or a year be made yet?

It shows three levels on one shared time axis: the months at the top, each quarter below its three months, and the year below its twelve months. A single Today line marks the current point in time across all three levels.

The colour of a cell tells you where its period stands:

• Green — All data final: every kind of data is final. A report generated now is final.
• Amber stripes — Waiting for data: the period has ended, but some of its data is still pending. Small icons in the cell show what it is still waiting for.
• Grey — Still running: the period has not ended yet.
• Dashed — Upcoming: a period still to come.

The timeline judges four kinds of data, each on its own row with its own legend entry, so you see in detail when what becomes available — not only the slowest of them. The legend lists them under Data it waits for:

• Monitoring data — final when the period ends.
• Satellite data — final up to 72 h after the period ends, and Mirox checks that every satellite day of the period has actually arrived: a day the satellite archive publishes late is waited for up to 14 days after the month, and the row reads satellite days overdue until it is in. After that, a missing day is no longer waited for and the tooltip names it.
• Settled curtailment — the digital twin settles each curtailed day once a suitable reference day is available, usually within 1–3 days; final for a month once the settlement deadline, the end of the 4th working day of the next month, has passed, and Mirox checks that the settled values are actually there. This row never waits for prices.
• Official prices — the market value around the 10th working day of the next month, the blended price (Mischpreis) published on netztransparenz.de, at which settled curtailment is priced, about two months later, usually 25–30 working days after the month; Mirox checks that the price is actually available for that month.

A quarter or a year needs every one of its months on every row, and it shows settled curtailment overdue or official prices unusually late as soon as one of its months is overdue.

Satellite days, settled values and official prices are checked, not assumed. Each time the page loads, Mirox checks whether the satellite days, the settled values and the official prices have actually arrived — none of these rows relies on a calendar rule alone. Point at a month, quarter or year to see where each row stands.

The settled curtailment row — the digital twin settles each curtailed day once a suitable reference day is available, usually within 1–3 days — reads:

• settled curtailment present — provisional until date — the settled values are there, but the settlement deadline is still ahead. Once it has passed, it reads settled curtailment final since date.
• settled curtailment expected by date — the month has ended and its last curtailed days are still being settled. The date is an estimate: the end of the month plus the time the slowest settlement method in play needs, at the next settlement run.
• settled curtailment overdue — a curtailed day is still open at the digital twin (reference day pending or no settleable measurement data): the estimate has passed, but at least one curtailed day of the period has no settled value yet; the tooltip names how many plants have an open settlement. The cell keeps the orange overdue icon, and the legend shows Settled curtailment overdue, until the day is settled or the curtailment is marked as ignored.
• no curtailment to settle — no plant was curtailed in that period, so there is nothing to wait for.
• settled curtailment could not be checked — Mirox could not reach its store just now, so the row follows the settlement deadline alone.

The official prices row — the blended price is usually published 25–30 working days after the month ends (working days without the nationwide German public holidays), and Mirox imports it once a day — reads:

• official prices available — final since date — the price is in. While the market value's date is still ahead, it reads official prices available — final on date.
• official prices expected around date — not published yet. The date is an estimate: 30 working days after the month.
• official prices unusually late — expected within the next days — the estimate has passed, but the price is still missing. The cell keeps an orange overdue icon, and the legend shows Official prices overdue.
• availability could not be checked — official prices expected around date — Mirox could not reach its price store just now, so the dates shown are estimates. Once the estimate has passed, the period counts as final by the estimate and says so.

Outage losses are judged per template rather than on the timeline: the generate dialog tells you whether a report would still be preliminary. A report whose template reads them can therefore stay preliminary longer than the timeline shows.

Point at a cell, or move the keyboard focus onto it, to see all four kinds of data — monitoring, satellite, settled curtailment and official prices — each with its status: final since date or final on date, and for settled curtailment and official prices what Mirox found in its stores. Every kind of data is shown and judged, whether or not a template currently reads it.

Which periods are shown. The timeline shows the current year in full. From earlier years it shows only what is not final yet, plus the newest ready month, quarter and year: these three are always shown and marked with a check (Newest ready). In January 2027, for example, the timeline shows December 2026, Q4 2026 and the year 2026, but no longer January 2026.

Generating from the timeline. Click an ended cell — green or striped — and the generate dialog opens with that month, quarter or year filled in, and with the template too when only one template is in play, for example when the list is filtered to one template. Generating early is allowed: the report is then marked Preliminary until you regenerate it after its data is final. Clicking a running or upcoming cell keeps its explanation open instead.

When the list is filtered to a single plant, the timeline judges only the templates that apply to that plant and counts the others underneath. You can fold the timeline away with Hide.

Template Versions

Every saved change to a template creates a new version: its name, its description, which chapters it has and in which order, the chapter titles, the content of chapters written in the template, its header and footer, its design and its company logo. Retiring or activating a template is not a version, and neither is a save without a change. A library chapter keeps its own history — its name, description, blocks and If unavailable rule — so changing it is a new version of the chapter, not of every template that places it.

You open the Version history from three places:

• on the Templates tab, from the menu of a template's row or of a chapter's row under Chapter templates;
• in the report editor while you edit a template, and in the chapter editor: History in the header, next to the version it is at (v4, for example);
• in the Details of a report that is out of date because its template moved on: What changed in the template.

The history lists the versions newest first. Each shows its number, the date and time, who saved it, how many chapters (or blocks) it has, and what changed — Name, Description, Chapter list, Chapter titles, Chapter content, Header & footer, Design, Company logo; for a library chapter Content and Missing-data rule. Current marks the version in use, and Restored from v2 a version that came from a restore. A template or chapter that existed before version history was kept starts with a single version, dated to its last save before then.

Opening a version shows it read-only, as it was: its name at that time, its description, and its chapters with their blocks. A library chapter appears in its wording of that time (Library chapter · v2 then), with a note on what a restore does with it. Data that no longer exists is named at the top.

Restoring an older version never rewrites the history: Restore version 2 saves its content again as a new version, so you can always go back again.

• Library chapters that still exist are placed again, with their current content and the title the template gave them.
• Library chapters deleted since come back as chapters written in the template, with their content from that time.
• Data the old version reads that has been deleted since — a metric, for example — is named before anything changes, and the confirmation then offers only Restore without them: blocks that showed only that data are left out, and a chapter left without blocks is dropped.
• If another template has taken the name in the meantime, the template keeps its current name.
• Whether the template is active or retired stays as it is.

Afterwards a note above the list gives the new version number and names anything that was adjusted: a name that was kept, chapters that came back as the template's own, data that was left out. Restoring from within the report editor or the chapter editor replaces what is on screen, so save your changes first.

Library chapters have the same history and the same restore. Restoring a library chapter changes every template that places it at once — its history names those templates — while their own version numbers stay as they are; reports generated from them show Out of date.

Reports record the template version they were generated with. Once the template has more than one version, the list shows it under the template name — Template v4, followed by now v5 when the template has moved on — and the report's Details show the Template version. Such a report is Out of date; its hint names the cause ("Generated with template version 4; the template is now at version 5.", or a library chapter changed since), and the report keeps its own chapters.

Everyone in the organization can read the version history. Restoring needs the organization role Admin, Moderator, Asset Manager (Technical) or Asset Manager (Commercial) — on a private template or chapter, its creator, an Admin or a Moderator. Shipped templates and chapters have a history you can read, but they cannot be restored: Duplicate to edit gives you a copy of your own, with its own history.

Title Page

The first page of a report is its title page — Cover in the report editor. It carries the report title and, if you add one, a subtitle, the plant picture if you switch it on, the plant, the period, the template and when the data was read, and at the bottom a note of your own. It has no header or footer and does not count in the page numbers; in the PDF, the Mirox logo still sits at its top right, together with a company logo placed in the header. A company logo can also go on the title page itself, above the title. The title page belongs to the report, not to the template: set it in the report's editor, or with Customize first before generating — the new report takes it along.

The plant picture. Switch on Plant picture above the title page to print the plant's picture under the title; it is off until you do. The picture is the one on the plant's Core Data page (Edit Park ▸ Picture). While the plant has none, the switch stays off and the editor says where to add one.

• Size and place. The picture is centred and keeps its proportions. It is as large as the width of the text and a height of about 10.6 cm allow — a wide picture fills the width, a tall one the height — but never larger than the picture itself, so a small picture stays sharp instead of being blown up. The editor, the PDF and the Word file show it at the same size in the same place; with Narrow or Wide margins in the report design, its width follows the text.
• Frozen when published. A draft shows the plant's current picture. Publishing freezes it: the PDF and the Word file keep the picture they were published with, even when the plant's picture is replaced later. To print a new picture, Regenerate the report and publish it again.
• Reports published before the Word file carried the picture show it in the PDF only; regenerate and publish such a report again to add it to the Word file.

Header and Footer

Every page of a report except the cover carries a header and a footer, in the PDF and in the Word file alike. Unless you change them, the header names the plant, the template and the period, with the Mirox logo at the right edge; the footer says when the data was read, numbers the pages ("Page 2 / 9") and prints the copyright line on a second line.

You can write your own:

• Three places per band. The header has Left, Centre and Right on one line. The footer has Left and Right on its upper line and Second line, centred below it. A place prints the platform text — marked default — until you type your own; a place you empty prints nothing.

• Placeholders in braces are filled in from each report, in the report's language:

  Button and placeholder	Prints
  Plant {park}	the plant's name
  Period {period}	the report period, for example "July 2026"
  Template {template}	the template's name
  Report title {title}	the title on the cover
  Organization {organization}	the organization the plant belongs to
  Data as of {data_as_of}	when the report read its data
  Year {year}	the year of that date
  Page number {page}	the number of the page
  Page count {pages}	the number of pages

  The cover is not counted. Text in braces that is none of these prints as you typed it.

• Switches. Print the header and Print the footer leave out a band's texts and its line; the Mirox logo still prints, and so does a company logo placed in that band. Page numbers at the right end turns off "Page 2 / 9"; when the right place has text, the page number follows it after a " · ".

• Logos. The header's settings show the Mirox logo locked — Mirox logo at the right edge, Always shown — because it cannot be removed. Your organization's own logo is added under Company logo.

• Length. Each place holds one line of up to 160 characters. When a text does not fit its place, the PDF shortens it with "…" — never the page number.

Where the header and footer come from — the badge in their settings says which applies:

With Customize first, a header and footer you set before generating go into the new report as its own when you click Generate report. Save as template in a report's editor takes the report's header and footer into the new template.

The PDF and the Word file print the same texts in the same places, and a published report keeps the header and footer it was published with. In Word, the page number and the page count are Word's own page fields, so they stay right when you edit the file. The chapter editor shows the platform's header and footer for orientation only: a chapter prints with the header and footer of the template that places it.

A template's header and footer are changed like the rest of the template, by the organization roles Admin, Moderator, Asset Manager (Technical) and Asset Manager (Commercial). A report's own can be set by everyone who may generate and publish the plant's reports.

Report Design

A template's report design decides how its reports look: the typeface, the text sizes, an accent colour, the page margins and the lines on the page. The PDF and the Word file print the same design, and the report editor shows it on its pages while you change it. The page itself is always A4, portrait.

• Font — Sans serif (the default) or Serif, for all text of the report, the header and footer included; charts keep their own lettering. The PDF prints DejaVu Sans or DejaVu Serif, the Word file Arial or Georgia.

• Text sizes:

  • Title, 20 to 44 pt (default 32): the title and subtitle on the title page;
  • Headings, 11 to 24 pt (default 16): chapter headings and block titles;
  • Body text, 8 to 13 pt (default 10): paragraphs, chapter descriptions, the lines of the title page, notes, comments and the last page;
  • Tables, 6 to 11 pt (default 8): tables and lists.

  The line spacing grows with the size. The header and footer keep their size.

• Accent colour — one of nine colours, or any colour as #RRGGBB, for the report title, the chapter headings, the table header band and the lines beside comments and written text. The table header prints white text on this colour, so it must be dark enough for that: a contrast of at least 4.5:1. The editor does not take a lighter colour — it shows the contrast and asks for a darker one. Links and charts keep their own colours.

• Margins — Narrow (12.7 mm left and right, 25 mm top and bottom), Normal (20 mm and 30 mm, the default) or Wide (30 mm and 35 mm). They set how wide the text, the tables, the charts and the plant picture can be, and where the header and footer begin and end. Wider margins make a report longer.

• Lines on the page — Frame around every page: a thin grey frame close to the edge of every page, the title page included. Line under the header: a thin line under the header of every page that has one. Line above the footer: the thin line between the page and its footer, on by default.

Platform design brings back the platform's design: sans serif, the default sizes, the platform's violet, normal margins and only the line above the footer.

The design belongs to the template. You change it while you edit the template in the report editor: Design in the header, next to History, opens the Report design panel, and every change shows on the pages at once. Save template keeps it; until then, an amber dot on Design says the design is not saved yet. A change to the design is a new version of the template (Design in the version history), and restoring an older version brings its design back. Duplicate copies the design along with the template, and Save as template in a report's editor takes the report's design into the new template.

A report prints the design its template had when the report was generated. After the template's design changes, the reports generated from it earlier show Out of date and keep their design until you Regenerate them; a published report keeps the design it was published with. A report has no design of its own: in a report's editor, Design shows the design the report prints, and Open the template takes you to the template, where it is changed. With Customize first, save a changed design with Save template before you click Generate report — otherwise the new report prints the template's saved design, and a note tells you so.

The editor shows the pages in the PDF's own typefaces and sizes. Word sets the same sizes in Arial or Georgia, so a line can break a little differently there. The chapter editor shows the platform's design: a chapter prints in the design of the template that places it. Changing a template's design needs the organization role Admin, Moderator, Asset Manager (Technical) or Asset Manager (Commercial); everyone who opens a report in the editor can see the design it prints.

Company Logo

Every page of a report carries the Mirox logo at the right edge of the header. Next to it — or in the footer, or on the title page — a template can print your organization's own logo, the company logo. The PDF and the Word file print it in the same place at the same size, and the report editor shows it on its pages while you choose.

The image. The logo is an image in your organization's file storage: upload one in the report editor — it is stored in the Branding folder — or choose an image that is already there. It must be a PNG or JPEG file of at most 2 MB and 4096 pixels per side; other formats, such as SVG, GIF or WebP, are not accepted.

Where it prints. There are five places to choose from:

The Mirox logo always keeps the outermost place on the right. Texts beside a logo keep clear of it: a text that no longer fits is shortened with "…" rather than printed over the logo, and the page number is never shortened. A logo in the header or in the footer prints even when that band is switched off.

Size. Three sizes: Small, Medium (the default) and Large. The logo is fitted into a box of that size and keeps its proportions: a wide logo fills the box's width, a tall one its height, and a small image is enlarged to fit — so an image with more pixels prints sharper.

On the title page, a large logo moves the title down a little.

It belongs to the template. You set it while you edit the template in the report editor: Design opens the Report design panel, and its first section, Logos, holds the company logo. Save template keeps it; until then, the amber dot on Design says the change is not saved yet. A change of the logo is a new version of the template (Company logo in the version history), and restoring an older version brings its logo back. Duplicate copies the logo along with the template, and Save as template in a report's editor takes the report's logo into the new template.

In reports. A report prints the logo its template had when the report was generated; after a change, the reports generated earlier show Out of date and keep their logo until you Regenerate them. A draft shows the image as it is in the file storage. Publishing freezes it: the PDF and the Word file keep the logo they were published with, even when the file is deleted from the storage later. A report has no logo of its own — in a report's editor, Logos shows the logo the report prints, read-only.

When the file is gone. If the logo's file has been deleted from the file storage, or cannot be read any more, the report prints no company logo, and its last page says so ("Company logo — Not printed"). The editor tells you too: choose or upload another image and save the template.

Changing a template's logo needs the organization role Admin, Moderator, Asset Manager (Technical) or Asset Manager (Commercial). The image lives in the organization's file storage, which the organization roles Admin, Moderator, Asset Manager (Technical) and Asset Manager (Commercial) can open. Everyone who opens a report in the editor sees its logo; on a template's pages, someone who may not open the file storage sees the logo's place marked instead, and the logo still prints.

The Mirox Logo

The Mirox logo prints at the right edge of the header on every page of every report — in the PDF also on the title page — even when the header is switched off. It cannot be removed: the header's settings show it locked as Mirox logo at the right edge, Always shown. Templates and reports that had switched the logo off before print it again; a PDF published before keeps its pages as they were.

Downloads

A published report downloads in five formats. All of them are made from the same published version, so the figures match in every file:

Download from the list, from the preview or from the report's Details. A download always gives the last published version: a report that was never published has no downloads yet, and a report back in draft keeps serving its last published version until the draft is published. A very large report can exceed what Excel accepts; the report editor tells you when that is the case.

The Excel, CSV and JSON downloads deliver the report's tables exactly as the published version froze them; they never change later. For any metric as a time series — for any plants you can read, any time range and a step from 1 minute to a year, read at the moment you ask and also as a link for Excel or a script — use Data Export in the main navigation. Both read the same metric collection, so a metric has the same name, unit and definition in a report and in an export.

The report's Details also show when the published version read its data, how often it was published (Published versions), and its Provenance: the report format version and a template version code that support may ask for. The last page of the PDF and Word file lists where the figures come from, which chapters were left out for this plant and, if it happened, that the company logo could not be printed.

Report Languages

A report is written in one of six languages: English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano or Português. You choose the Report language per report, in the generate dialog next to the plant; it starts at the language of your interface. The language covers headings, labels, dates, number formats and the texts of shipped templates and chapters. Text you write yourself — comments, notes, renamed titles, your own chapters — stays exactly as you wrote it.

The language is fixed when the report is generated. To switch it, change the language on the report's cover in the report editor and save: the report is regenerated in the new language, and after you publish it the downloads follow. Reports in different languages can stand side by side; the list shows each report's language and filters by it.

Activity Trail

Everything done with reports is recorded in the Activity & Audit Trail: who did it, when, whether it worked, and what changed.

Report entries have the category Report. An entry keeps the details that matter afterwards: a regeneration says whether it followed a change of the chapters or of the language, a publication which state of the draft it froze, a deletion whether a published version went with it, and a change to a template, chapter or metric which parts changed, with their old and new values. Not recorded are the edits in a draft as you type — the report's Details show who edited it last —, previews, and downloads.
