Rapid SCADA's Table view is designed for hourly data, so it does not directly match a layout that places one daily value in each column. For approximately 12 daily data points per field device across the most recent 7 to 10 days, configure an Elastic Report and expose it through the view explorer.

Identify the Table View Limitation

Do not treat the Table view's hourly columns as a configurable daily interval based on the available evidence. A daily version may be possible as a future product change, but it was not included in the stated 2024 road map. No supported Table view modification procedure is provided.

Configure the Daily Elastic Report

Build an Elastic Report with one row or reporting element for each required field-device value and daily periods arranged across the report. The report must cover the required relative window: either the last 7 days or the last 10 days.

Set the Relative Date Window

Publish the report as a web page accessed through its report URL. Modify the URL arguments so the requested period remains relative to the current date rather than using fixed calendar dates. The evidence does not provide the argument names or syntax, so obtain those details from the installed Elastic Report documentation instead of guessing them.

Add the Report to the View Explorer

  1. Configure and verify the Elastic Report layout for the required daily values.
  2. Open its web URL and confirm that the relative arguments return the last 7 or 10 days.
  3. Add that URL to the Views table to create a node in the view explorer tree.
  4. Open the new node and verify that each reporting element shows one daily value per period and that the window advances with the current date.

FAQ

Can Rapid SCADA Table view display daily values?

The Table view is designed for hourly data. The supported approach described here is to use an Elastic Report for daily columns.

How do I show the last 7 or 10 days in Rapid SCADA?

Display the Elastic Report as a web page and modify its URL arguments to request a relative 7- or 10-day period. Use the plugin documentation for the exact argument syntax because it is not supplied in the evidence.

How do I add an Elastic Report to the Rapid SCADA view tree?

Add the report's web URL to the Views table. This creates a node that operators can open from the view explorer tree.
