The Reports menu controls creation of overviews from all entered and processed data in the control system. You may easily control the finished work of your guards through it. Individual records, described in detail can be found in this chapter. Each type of report will also show what such report looks like.
The recorded checkpoints and patrol officers are recognized by the program from the time, they are entered in the program and they cannot be recognized retroactively. As the result of this, it is impossible to retroactively enter patrol routes, shifts, etc. Only sensors are recognized retroactively.
All types of reports have the same control elements.

When creating all types of reports, besides shift and week reports, you will also encounter a similar first dialogue window, with the selection of interval. If you select any of the report, with the exception of those already mentioned - the shift and week reports, the following dialogue window will open.
In this window, you may select for what time period should the program print out the data, and that will be done by several ways.
The selection As entered in PC provides for other, specific types of selection of data entered. If you opt for this selection, the program will show all transfers from data chips in the PC in the interval selected. Marking specific information and confirming by clicking OK, will select one type of data transfer.
The next dialogue window you will encounter while creating reports, is statistics.
Statistics is only of information nature; it does not offer any selections. Opening statistics can be disabled in the Settings – Options window.
Statistic shows clear summary of a given report: type of report, time interval, number of entries about patrol officers, control chips, sensor and its number, ANTI-VANDAL® system information and other data. Close statistic by clicking on OK and then you will see the required report.
This function represents new type of creating reports, which in the near future, will be completely replaced by the preset system of independent selections for individual type of reports. Moreover, it enables you to compile your own type of a report, where you may define, what type of information it should include, for what time period, etc.
Some selections are not yet accessible for now. They will be activated in the next program update.
The basic dialogue window will open when you click on icon.
Four basic types of reports cannot be deleted or edited.
Double clicking on the name of the selected report will open it. The program will ask you to select a time interval (in your own case, it depends on the pre-sets, if the selection will appear). The report will open.
Reports contain several control elements.

The program already contains 4 pre-defined report types.
In evaluating a patrol routes with missing points / extra points, are at a disadvantage, as compared with other, correctly downloaded routes.
Detailed report is any basic report, as it contains complete information about the patrol system. This report shows all data entered in a given time period: individual checkpoints, guard information, route information, all records from the Anti-Vandal ® system and when the data was entered in the PC, etc.
Example use: Detailed report is the best type in the event you don’t have patrol routes entered and you need to show the list of all downloaded checkpoints. It will also be of use, if the guard insists that he / she covered the route, but made mistakes in sequence and this is why the route does not show in reports. In this case, you may want to verify the guard’s statement by checking the Detailed Report.
A brief report will show only the basic overview of entered data. It does not report on any checkpoints, it only shows the guard’s name and the route information, Anti-Vandal® information and relevant time information. For easy use and control, we recommend entering the routes system since it is the routes themselves and their correct coverage that this report describes first and foremost. The program then informs you with single line, if the route has been covered and how.
Tip: If you click in the report and press the space bar, the program will enable you to designate one specific item and after pressing the Enter key, you will get its detailed report.
Example use: A brief report is ideal for quick control. Individual checkpoints are not printed out, only the guard’s name, time of data entry into the PC and event recorded by keypad / chip. If you have a system of routes in the program, the Brief report will clear information about the route (time, and if it was correctly covered).
This report serves for clear showing of information from the Anti-Vandal ® system from your sensors. You will clearly see, when and how did the guard try to damage the sensor.
Identification of a specific guard is subject to the guard’s placing his identification chip to the sensor, before each route.
Example use: You suspect that guards are trying to intentionally damage the sensors; this report will give you detailed information from the Anti-Vandal ® system for a period selected, including the names of guards attempted that and when.
This type of report is used to show data downloaded by one specific sensor. Its structure is same as in detailed report.
Example use: if you wish to check detailed data, read by one particular sensor. For example, a sensor assigned to the shift, where you suspect it does not do the job the way it should.
Anti-Vandal® report for sensor is similar as Anti-Vandal ® report, but data is written only from one specific sensor.
Example use: If, for example, you suspect that certain shift is trying to destroy its assigned sensor, then this type of report is ideal for you. . It will show the Anti-Vandal ® systen information of particular sensor for a specified time period.
This type of report is used to show downloaded data of one specific guard.
Example use: If you wish to check the work of one of your guards: for example, if you wish to reprimand him / her, you will need a solid proof about his / her bad job.
Checkpoint report clearly shows, which guard and with what sensor checked in at the selected checkpoints.
Sample use: If, for example, an unusual situation occurs, and you need to check who and when had controlled the checkpoint in the next immediate vicinity.
This report will help you determine if the selected checkpoint was controlled by the guard in the time fram eselected.
Sample use: This type of report will help you verify, if the selected point is checked often enough so that you could eventually make changes to routes / shifts of your guards.
The type of report will show clearly, brief information about a specific and correctly downloaded route.
If the guard insist that he / she had covered the route but made an error and you do not see the route in the report, you may locate it through Detailed Report.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: Route report may be used for simple check of your guards' work. Report for a given time period shows detailed information about routes covered, relevant time information and whether or not the route was without incidents.
As opposed to the Route report, the Detailed route report displays information about a specific route in detail, including individual checkpoints.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: If you wish to check routes covered, including individual checkpoints, included in those routes.
This type of report will search out and display checkpoints that do not belong in the selected route but the guard had nevertheless downloaded them. The checkpoints list also the guard, who has made this error.
Note: Moreover, if the downloaded checkpoint is not registered in the program, it will write out only its number and is designated as an Unknown checkpoint.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: If the guard had reported that he / she had also downloaded checkpoints not belonging to the route in error, you may verify his / her statement with this report.
This type of report will search out and display checkpoints that do belong in the selected route but the guard had not canned them in. The checkpoints report lists also the guard, who has made this error.
A route may not be missing more than 2, or rather 10% of checkpoints. If there are more checkpoints missing, the program will not be able to indenfify the route. The Route report with missing checkpoints will state that Checkpoints do not match the selected route.
You may pre-set a missing points limit in Options.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: If the guard reports to you that he / she had not downloaded some checkpoints in error, but had otherwise covered the route, you may check his / her statement with this report (or a detailed report).
Routes with missing checkpoints are somewhat more complicated so this is why we present only some illustrative points. Illustrative, properly downloaded route looks as follows (the letters represent 20 checkpoints in the correct sequence).
A – B – C – D – E – F –G – H – I – J – K – L – M – N – O – P – Q – R – S – T
Possible number of missing checkpoints in the route is in the initial settings. 2 checkpoints and 10% The guard will download during his / her walk:
A – E – F – G – H – I – J – K – L – M – N – O – P – Q – R – S – T
(The Guard had missed 3 checkpoints out of 20).
There are more than 2 and more than 10% = route will not be recognized and the program will designate it as Unknown.
You have changed the possible number of missing checkpoints in the route to 3 and 10%. The guard will download the checkpoints in the same way as in the first example (there are 3 checkpoints missing out of 20).
10% of checkpoints is exceedded, but there are only 3 permitted checkpoints = route will be recognized. In evaluating route, the program always selects the lesser of both limitations.
You have changed the possible number of missing checkpoints in the route to 3 and 20%. The guard will download the checkpoints in the same way as in the first example (there are 3 checkpoints missing out of 20).
No maximum number of permissible missing checkpoints had been exceeded = route will be recognized.
It is inappropriate to pre-set lower limits without reason for route recognition. Minimum number of checkpoints is also the minimum number of checkpoints in the route (it is greater by at least one). In pre-setting the number of missing checkpoints to 3, it does not make sense to enter routes with less than four checkpoints. The system would always consider them as completed; all checkpoints may be missing from the route. The inner logic of the program considers such route for very inappropriate and will show preference for other (routes) where possible. If however, a more suitable route is not found (two unknown checkpoints), it will declare (as up to three checkpoints may be missing) that this short route had been completed. The shortest route in the system should be greater by at least one than the maximum number of missing checkpoints. Second setting (percentage of checkpoints which are permitted to be missing) does has no influence on route recognition; it speeds up data processing.
Illustrative, properly downloaded route looks as follows (the letters represent 26 checkpoints in the correct sequence).
A – B – C – D – E – F –G – H – I – J – K – L – M – N – O – P – Q – R – S – T – U – V – W – X – Y – Z
10% and 2 missing checkpoints are permitted. The guard will download the checkpoints:
A – E – F – G – H – I – J – K – L – M – N – O – P – Q – R – S – T – U – V – W – X – Y – Z
(Again, 3 checkpoints in sequence are missing).There are 3 checkpoints missing but less than 10% of the whole number = route will be recognized.
This report will search out checkpoints that do belong in the route, but were not download by the guard and at the same time, checkpoints that do not belong in the route, were still download by the guard. In other words, this report is a combination of two preceding types of report.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: If the guard had reported that he / she had also downloaded checkpoints that do not belong in the route and did not download checkpoints that do belong there, you may verify his / her statement with this report (or a detailed report).
Aggregate report will print out routes without consideration of checkpoints sequence, that is, in case where all checkpoints were downloaded in but the guard did not download them in in the correct sequence.
Processing this type of report takes a whole longer, as the program checks many combinations.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: If the guard reports to you that he / she had downloaded the route in the wrong sequence, but has otherwise covered the route, you may verify his / her statement with this report.
Will print out one selected route, without regard for sequence of checkpoints, i.e. checkpoints may be downloaded randomly. This report, different from the preceding one, is used in cases you wish to search out a specific route, where the guard had made a mistake and downloaded the checkpoints in the wrong sequence.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
If the guard reports to you that he / she had downloaded the route in the wrong sequence and you know the route in question, you may verify his / her statement with this report.
Shift report displays the accuracy of route coverage by specific shift for specific day. It represents easy means for daily control of the guards' work.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: Shif report is an ideal tool for fast and simple control. It only shows brief information about routes belonging in the shift and if they were properly covered (designated OK) or not (KO).
Will print out list of shifts for selected week and if they were any incidents (designated OK) or not (KO). Represents an easy weekly conrol of guards' work.
In case you highlight another weekday, the system will automatically shift the start of the time interval to the previous Monday. You will be informed of this change by notification Date has been moved to Monday, which you may close by clicking on OK.
Tip: If you click anywhere in the report and press the spacebar on the keyboard, the program will highlight one specific item and after hitting the Enter key, its detailed report will open.
Sample use: Shif report is an ideal tool for fast and simple control. It shows only brief information about shifts, belonging in that week and whether or not they were properly covered.
