Reports allow you to extract data from the MineMarket database (and external sources if required), and format, group or summarise it. Reports can be scheduled to run automatically, with the results saved to a file or sent via email or to a printer.

The data included in a report is sourced using a SQL query, external DLL or script. MineMarket reports are built with Crystal Reports templates, which generate a formatted document output (based on a pre-configured template) that contains the report data presented in tabular format.

Contact your Datamine representative for assistance with customised reports.

Standard Reports

Several standard reports are included with all MineMarket installations.

Standard reports are reports that extract data from the MineMarket database, and format, group or summarise the data. Apart from formatting a report, there is no embedded intelligence in the report to perform other tasks. These reports use a DLL file to extract the data from the database, and a report template to format the output. The DLL and XML files for the standard reports are included with the MineMarket installation. They must be imported into MineMarket to be used.

Example Reports

Several example reports are included with all MineMarket installations. These may be used as is, or may be used as examples for customised reports.

Like standard reports, example reports extract data from the MineMarket database, and format, group or summarise it. Apart from formatting a report, there is no embedded intelligence in the report to perform other tasks. These reports use a DLL file to extract the data from the database, and a report template to format the output. The DLL and XML files for the example reports are included with the MineMarket installation. They must be imported into MineMarket to be used.

Other Reports
