You can View past reports as far back as there are online ODBC Database records. The Data Log Maintenance defines how long records are kept.
If the current Shift, Day or Month is incomplete, then you will see a partial report containing the hours and days so far, with Totals, Averages, Minimums and Maximums reflecting only the data recorded so far.
To see Scheduled Reports using the web browser VIEW,

Figure 5.48 - Scheduled Report - Shift, Daily and Monthly Scheduled reports.
1. From the List of Scheduled reports, select View under the Column for the Report Type and in the Row for the Report Name for the Report desired.
2. Wait. It can take a while for the report to be generated, averages, totals, maximum and minimum values for all recorded data for the period of the report will be calculated. The more columns in the report (tags) and the more data records for each tag (how noisy it is) the longer it will take. Monthly reports can take 5 or 10 minutes to appear (a months worth of minute and hourly records must be read and calculated).
Tip – have your reports emailed to you or a common account. Save them in your email program or as HTML file. It is a faster way to look up past reports.
3. The report for the Current Day appears.
For Shift Reports - The first Shift Report of the current Day appears (Figure 5.49).
For Daily Reports – The current day’s Daily Report appears (Figure 5.50).
For Monthly Reports – The Current Months Report appears (Figure 5.51).
Note -If the current Shift, Day or Month is incomplete, then you will see a partial report containing the hours and days so far, with Totals, Averages, Minimums and Maximums reflecting only the data recorded so far.
4. To navigate to past or future reports:
Shift Reports - First Date, Prev Date, Next Shift, Prev Shift and Last Shift (Figure 5.49).
Daily Reports - First Date, Prev Date, Next Date, Last Date
Monthly Reports – First Month, Prev Month, Next Month, Last Month
(Note – Last Month means most recent month on record, usually the current month).

Last is always the most recent record (usually the current date).
