Reports
ModuOps offers reports that summarize the equipment requests in your layout. Reports display data in a table that you can search, filter, sort and export to a comma separated values (CSV) file. CSV files can be opened in a spreadsheet application for further work.
Find the reports under the Reports heading in the sidebar menu:
Equipment SummaryCar RequestsModule Summary
For timetable printouts, see String Diagram & Timetable Reports.
Working with report tables
All three reports use the same table. You can search across every column, filter any column, sort by clicking a column header, and show or hide columns from the column menu. There's a row density control to fit more on screen, paging with a choice of rows per page, and checkboxes to select rows when you only want to export some of them.
Exporting to CSV
Each report has export buttons:
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
Export All Rows | Exports every row that matches the current search and filters, across all pages. |
Export Page Rows | Exports only the rows on the current page. Not available on the Equipment Summary. |
Export Selected Rows | Exports only the rows you have checked. Disabled until you select at least one row. |
The column titles become the first row of the CSV file. Exports are flat lists of rows. Grouping on the Car Requests report is not carried into the file.
Car Requests
The Car Requests report lists every equipment request in the layout, one row per request. Use it to see what cars each Module/Town, owner, consignee or drop zone is asking for.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
Module | The Module/Town. |
Owner | The Module/Town owner. |
Consignee | The consignee making the request. |
Drop Zone | The drop zone the cars are delivered to. |
Spot Capacity | The drop zone's capacity, in your layout's length unit. |
Car Class | The requested equipment class. |
Car Code | The equipment type code, such as an AAR code. |
Description | The equipment description. |
Car Length | The equipment length, in your layout's length unit. |
Demand | The equipment request's Demand. |
Only equipment requests that have a Module/Town, consignee, drop zone and equipment type are listed.
Car Requests report grouped By Module, showing the Demand totals on each group row.
View presets
Buttons above the table set up the report for a common question with one click. Each preset chooses which columns show and how rows are grouped.
| Preset | Groups rows by |
|---|---|
By Owner | Owner |
By Module | Module |
By Car Type | Car Class |
By Consignee | Consignee |
By Drop Zone | Module, then Drop Zone |
All Columns | No grouping. Shows every column. |
All Columns is the starting view.
Grouping
To group rows your own way, drag a column header into the grouping area above the table. Drag in more headers to group within groups. Each group row shows the total Demand for that group, for example "Total: 12".
ModuOps remembers the columns you show and the grouping you choose, and uses them the next time you open the report for this layout.
Equipment Summary
The Equipment Summary shows total demand for each equipment type across all Modules/Towns. Use it before a session to let members know what rolling stock to bring.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
Car Type | The equipment class and length, for example "B 40". |
Code | The equipment type code. |
Description | The equipment description. |
Short | The equipment short description. |
Era | The equipment era. |
Relative Demand | The total Demand of all equipment requests for this equipment type. |
Only equipment types with at least one equipment request are listed. Sort by Relative Demand to see the most requested cars first.
Module Summary
The Module Summary gives a high level overview of each Module/Town in the layout.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
Module | The Module/Town. |
Owner | The Module/Town owner. |
# Drop Zones | Number of drop zones. |
# Consignees | Number of consignees. |
Total Demand | The total Demand of all equipment requests on the Module/Town. |
# Car Requests | Number of equipment requests. |
Every Module/Town is listed, including those with no equipment requests.
