Report Logs
The Report Logs section offers a transparent and structured overview of all reports generated across applications like Face Recognition System and License Plate Recognition. It allows users to track generation history, monitor processing progress, and download completed reports efficiently.
Purpose
The Report Logs page helps users:
- Monitor the status of report generation in real time.
- Identify and troubleshoot failed or cancelled report generations.
- Access previously generated reports for auditing or review.
- Understand performance indicators like total count, file size, and processing time.
Report Logs Table Overview
The Report Logs table includes the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Id | Unique identifier assigned to each report log entry. |
| Application Name | The application (e.g., License Plate Recognition, Face Recognition System) associated with the report. |
| Report Name | The filename or generated name of the report (PDF, XLSX, or HTML). |
| Date & Time | Timestamp when the report was generated. |
| Created By | The user or email ID who triggered the report generation. |
| Total Count | Number of entries or records included in the report. (May be blank if generation failed.) |
| File Size | Final size of the report file (e.g., 320.33 MB). |
| Processing Time | Duration taken to generate the report (e.g., 13m 38s). |
| Status | Indicates whether the report generation was Done ✅ or Cancelled ❌. |
| Download Report | A Download button to retrieve the report if generation was successful. Disabled if cancelled. |
| Action | Additional icons for future actions (currently placeholders). |
How to Use the Report Logs
1. Viewing Report History
- Reports are listed in reverse chronological order.
- Reports include metadata like who created them and when.
2. Tracking Status
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| ✅ Done | Report was successfully generated and is available for download. |
| ❌ Cancelled | Report generation failed or was manually aborted. File is not downloadable. |
3. Downloading Reports
- Click the orange Download button in the “Download Report” column.
- Download button appears only if the report status is Done.
- Cancelled reports will have a disabled button.
4. Understanding File Metrics
- Total Count: Number of records/events in the report (e.g., 10000).
- File Size: Final size in MB or KB.
- Processing Time: Indicates report generation duration — useful for performance analysis.
5. Paging Through Logs
- Use the pagination controls at the bottom to navigate:
- Move between pages using arrows or page numbers.
- Change number of items per page using the dropdown (e.g., 12/page).
- Jump to a specific page using the Go to Page field.
Best Practices
✅ Regularly check the Cancelled status reports and attempt regeneration if needed.
✅ Use file size and processing time metrics to detect unusually large or slow reports.
✅ Use the report title and timestamp to trace data corresponding to specific timeframes or users.
✅ Archive completed reports locally if long-term storage is needed.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If a report is Cancelled repeatedly, ensure:
- Source application data is available and correct.
- The report template is not corrupted.
- System resources (RAM/Storage) are sufficient.
