Dear All  
I would like to ask about the reporting, I have report like this

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/5/d51d696af44835942fd01802012f3b417e6bb1a7.png)

At the bottom you can see stop times and i want them in the format hh:mm:ss

datasource for the int\_stoptime is tag history

In the perspective i used

`dateFormat(addSeconds(midnight(now()),{int_StopTime}),"HH:mm:ss")`

Can you please help me how can i configure expression on the text like these in reporting?

Thank you very much
