Introduction

Qinertia features a powerful report generator to easily assess a processing quality. You can create and customize reports to deliver professional Quality Control reports to your customers.

The report engine can generate PDF, interactive HTML and even JSON reports to best fit your needs. The JSON report is mostly helpful to access raw information and data to implement your own reporting engine.

You can configure in the Project Settings panel which reports have to be generated when a project is published. You can also define if reports have to be generated automatically each time the project is processed.

Report Template

Qinertia let you create and manage report templates. A report template is used to configure the report generation engine and select which sections/information has to be included in the report.

You can enable as many report templates as you would like and Qinertia will generate all selected reports when the project is published.

Select the report output format. The following output format are available:

  • PDF to get a static vector based report that can be easily shared and viewed
  • HTML to get an interactive HTML 5 webpage
  • JSON files that contains all report data. Helpful to integrate report data into your own solution.

Select the dataset on which the report should be generated. The available options are:

  • Selected: The report is generated based on the dataset selected in the main Qinertia window.
  • Auto:  Qinertia selects the best available dataset between origin, forward and merged.
  • Origin: The report is based on the real time solution if available.
  • Forward: The forward solution is used to generate the report. For reprocessing this is the only option.
  • Backward: The report is created based on the backward solution of a tightly or loosely coupled post processing.
  • Merged: The report is based on the solution merged between the forward and backward processing. This is the most accurate trajectory.
HChoose which time format to use for plots, either a zero based time stamp or a GPS Time of Week in seconds.
ISelect the background to use for map views, either satellite or streets.
JSelect the format to use for geographic coordinates.
KSelect which sections, information, plots have to be included in the report.
LChoose the base directory used to define the report output path.

Publishing a Project

You can generate reports at any time using the File→Reports menu. You should then select the reports you would like to generate and press the Generate Report button.

However, most of the time, you would like to both export data and generate reports. To ease this workflow, Qinertia can publish the project in one click. Publishing a project will execute all selected export jobs as well as generate all selected report templates.

To publish the project, simply select the  File→Publish Project menu but make sure your project is correctly configured with selected export profiles and report templates.

Please also read the Project Settings page to get more details about export profiles and report templates selection and auto publications.
