I’m trying to create a report based on an event. basically when the system is washing something I am logging the data through a transaction manager to a DB. once completed I want to display a trend graph of the data for the operator to confirm the wash was successful and the values of the logged data are within the tolerances allowed. I cannot find a way to do this with the reporting module in ignition because it seems to only run on a schedule. does anyone have any ideas of the way I should be approaching this?
