Efficiently Sorting and Tracking with Downtime Analysis

Introduction

Sorting and tracking the data in the Downtime Analysis report is a breeze. The report can be sorted by machine name, date, or downtime duration, depending on your needs.

To sort the report:

  1. Click on the header of the column you wish to sort
  2. Choose either ascending or descending order

You can also track the downtime history of a specific machine over time. This is extremely useful for identifying patterns or recurring issues that might be affecting the machine’s performance.

User Roles and Permissions

In Empress, the permissions to view and edit the Downtime Analysis report are determined by the user’s role. The ‘Manager’ and ‘Supervisor’ roles typically have access to these reports. As a business user, you don’t need to worry about coding or setting up permissions - Empress takes care of that for you. However, if you find you’re unable to access these reports, please contact your system administrator or IT support for assistance.
