Data Entry Management
Data entry management is performed with the new Interactive Forms (iForm) component that deploys Excel forms across your network to gather and store information to a central database. This application is ideal for any industry collecting data manually, such as user recordings and laboratory results, and requires a central place to store the data for reporting purposes. more information ...

Text File Interface
A new history interface is available to report from devices that log to text files. Report across multiple files as if they were one and extract analytic calculations over user defined intervals.

A custom version of this interface is provided for Rockwell Automation's PanelView Plus graphic terminals for automatic and on-demand reporting. more information ...

File Cabinets
The File Cabinet is provided to assist with the text file interface. It transfers, consolidates and manages text files from multiple devices so they appear as one entity. These files can be transferred from either an FTP server or across the local network.

It also creates tag name lists for convenient tag browsing as well as support for text files from various devices. more information ...

File Management Module
A file management module is provided for managing the Windows file system. The applet supports file copy, file move, file rename and file delete. It also provides searching for the latest file in a specific folder and storing the result in an XLReporter variable so that name can be used for other purposes. When capturing the most recent file name, there is now support for both long file name (with path) and short file name (without path).

FTP Module
The FTP module now supports uploading and downloading multiple files to and from any FTP server.

Interactive Viewers
The Interactive Viewers for both reports and forms provide user controls to zoom in and out and freeze panes.  In addition, interactive reports can now be configured to disable editing and hide the formula bar for greater security.

FactoryTalk Alarms and Events
The Database interface supports retrieving data from FactoryTalk Alarms and Events when they are historically logged to Microsoft SQL Server (or SQL Server Express). more information ...

Off-line Development
A project can be completely developed off-line without disrupting the running system. All templates and schedules can be developed and tested. Simulated values are returned during validation and testing to give the user the feel that they are connected to real hardware.

A stand-alone application is provided to export tags from a running system and use them as part of the off-line development. When the project is restored back to the running system, everything is ready to go on-line with a single mouse click.
