Ignition 8.05 I have the reporting module running in trial mode as we are evaulating prior to purchase. I seem to be unable to configure a tag historian query (or a tag calculation query). The window is blank. Is this a limitation of the trial licence or have a missed a step? I have a licenced tag historian module with historical tags. I can configure a regular SQL query. Any help would be apreciated! cheers ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/3/33d5dd8c94a635cf8dfc7a31ba0b34aa379154cc.png) ---

I’m not able to replicate this with the module in trial mode. First, I’d check that your trial isn’t expired. I don’t think that should make a difference, but we don’t do as much testing on what happens when your trial expires, and it’s an easy thing to check. Next, take a look for any errors in the console. Something unusual is happening, and that’s your best bet for finding it. ---

Below is the output from the console.

We have also tried restarting the gateway and the result is the same. Help please! Thanks ---

Are the tags actually configured to store history? ---

Hi. Yes, we have around 10 tags storing history. However, as above, I can’t actually select any tags for the report since the program seems to error out as soon as the historical data source is added to the report. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/b/b355e3d6e3364df80c0f5dd66831b8d92a84ab92.png) If it helps, the version of the installed modules are shown below. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/a/ac69e6c033c02259f97dbda889b21dc8b4dd3933.png) ---

The problem isn’t with the history on the tags, because we aren’t getting that far. Instead, the designer isn’t finding the class it needs to open the correct panel. I noticed that your reporting module is newer than the rest of your set up (you’re running an 8.0.6 version of reporting with a 8.0.5 platform). This is rarely a good practice, so for sure you should downgrade that module or upgrade the rest of your system. You can find the 8.0.5 version of reporting at [the 8.0.5 download page](https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/archive/8.0.5). Once you get the versions in sync, if you still have an issue, please contact support and have them help you. ---

After following your instructions, the reporting module is now working. Thanks for your help!
