Location Parameters (Extra Fields)

Report Name: Location Parameters (Extra Fields) (example)

File Name: EarthSoft.Reports.Library.65991.dll

Dependencies: N/A

Software: EQuIS Professional and EQuIS Enterprise

Source: EQuIS Professional install

Language: English

Output Type: Report Grid1

 

Description: The Location Parameters (Extra Fields) Report generates the location parameter information from DT_LOCATION_PARAMETER and other selectable fields from DT_FACILITY, DT_LOCATION_PARAMETER, DT_PRECIPITATION, VW_LOCATION and VW_WELL, RT_COMPANY, RT_TIMEZONE, RT_UNIT, RT_BASIN, RT_LOCATION_TYPE, RT_STATE, RT_STREAM, RT_SAMPLE_METHOD, RT_LAND_USE and RT_LOCATION_PARAM_TYPE. It is a class report where extra fields can be selected.

 

The report output is sorted by LOC_REPORT_ORDER, SYS_LOC_CODE, PARAM_REPORT_ORDER, and PARAM_CODE.

 

This report will fill non-numeric results as PARAM_TEXT in their respective outputs. Numeric results are reported as PARAM_VALUE per original functionality.

 

Location Parameter Report Configuration discusses how to modify one of the report parameters so you can select location parameters that are not strictly numerical.

 

Installation Instructions: This report assembly is part of the EQuIS Professional installation. No additional installation steps are necessary.

 

Overview:

Use the Location Parameters (Extra Fields) Report as a replacement for the former Location Parameters Report. Note the following behavior:

Prior to build 7.21.2, this report cannot be run from a facility group.

The report requires RT_GROUP_MEMBER.MEMBER_CODE = RT_LOCATION_PARAM_TYPE.PARAM_CODE. It fails if the required data are not populated and Parameter - Individual(s)/Group(s) are selected.

 

Unit Conversion

The report uses a database unit conversion function, relying upon the conversion factors stored in the RT_UNIT_CONVERSION_FACTOR reference table.

 

During a unit conversion, the output's PARAM_UNIT uses one of the existing unit specifications, in order:

1.Parameter\Unit report parameter

2.RT_LOCATION_PARAM_TYPE.STANDARD_UNIT field

3.DT_LOCATION_PARAMETER.PARAM_UNIT field

 

 

Warning: By default, there are no unit conversions if the Parameter section is not selected. The report only performs unit conversions in these scenarios:

Parameter\Unit is selected
or

Parameter\Unit is not selected but Parameter\Individual(s) or Group(s) is selected.

 

Tables: DT_FACILITY, DT_LOCATION, DT_LOCATION_PARAMETER, DT_PRECIPITATION, RT_GROUP, RT_GROUP_MEMBER, RT_LOCATION_PARAM_TYPE, RT_UNIT, ST_REPORT_PARAMETER, VW_LOCATION,VW_WELL.

 

Report Parameters *

Location


Individual(s)

Parameter for selecting individual locations.

Group(s)

Parameter for selecting location groups.

Measurement


Date Range

Section to select the start date and end date measurement date range.

Task(s)

Selct one or more location parameter task codes.

Parameter


Individual(s)

Select one or more location parameters.

Group(s)

Select one or more location parameter groups.

Unit

Select the desired reporting unit.

Additional Fields**


   
* This report includes hidden parameters that could affect the output of the report.

 

Consult an EQuIS administrator if these parameters should be visible or use different default values in a published report (a report that allows saving of user reports). These paramaters cannot be viewed or changed in unpublished reports outside of a report parameter file.

 

 

**The Additional Fields parameter may be customized as explained in the help article How To Customize Additional Fields Parameter.

Skip Missing Unit Conversions:

 

A hidden parameter, Skip Missing Unit Conversions is available for configuring the report to skip failed result unit conversions and generate a row of param_value=original numeric param_value or null if non-numeric, param_text=original param_value and param_unit = original param_unit. The Skip Missing Unit Conversions parameter defaults to unchecked (default_value=false) and can be set in the database (ST_REPORT_PARAMETER) and made visible, if necessary.
