Creating custom reports

Updated on December 20, 2022

If the standard out-of-the-box reports do not meet your business needs, then create a custom report. Custom reports allow you to create create a specifically tailored visual representation of the financial, business, and operational impacts that you expect from your robotic workforce.

.

For example, you can create a weekly health report of the state of your unattended robots. Such a report can provide you with accurate and up-to-date information on any issues that your robotic workforce might be experiencing.
Before you begin: Ensure that your user account has at least one of the following access roles:
  • Admin
  • ReportAdmin
  • ReportWriter
For more information, see Access groups and roles in Pega Robot Manager.
In your reports, you can use data from applications that include Pega Robot Manager in their application stack.

    Creating a report

  1. In the navigation pane of Pega Robot Manager, click AnalyticsReports.
  2. In the top-right corner of the screen, click New report.
    The Create new report modal dialog box opens.
  3. In the Report on list, select the statistics type:
    • ​​To retrieve information about the robotic sessions, Pega Robot Runtime, and the package versions, select Health Statistics.
    • To retrieve information about fatal exceptions, such as stack traces, select Exception Statistics.
    • To retrieve information about automation tasks and activities (including robot activities and public automation tasks), select Robot Usage Statistics.
  4. If you selected Robot Usage Statistics, in the Usage data aggregated section, choose a data aggregation option, for example, hourly.

  6. In the Report type list, select how to present the data, for example, in a chart.
