Reporting
Event Management Report
A new report called Event Management Report provides a list of generator runs for a period of time by site and system. Check out this help article,
How to run a Report, and select the new report to check it out.
Event Compliance Reports
There have been incident reports of the event compliance reports missing vital data. We have discovered that the timing of creating the report after an event ends needed to be delayed to allow for the data to be stored in the database. A delay of 10 minutes has been put in place to create a buffer to allow the data from the event to get stored before the reports are created and emailed out.
Entity Description
Fire pump has been added to the ATS service branch list to select at the time of adding or modifying the entity configuration in Aurora Admin. The ATS service branch is displayed in the ATS Entity Details of the application, on the Operations Report in the ATS specifications, and in the Event Compliance Report on the ATS page.
