AirWatch Export & Reports

Options on how to export data from your AirWatch or how to create an air quality report.

The History tab of an AirWatch device offers two ways to take its data with you:

Action	Output	Best for
Export	CSV or Excel data file	Raw data, spreadsheets, custom analysis
PDF Report	Print-ready PDF document	Compliance, sharing, stakeholder reviews

Both are reached from the History tab of a single device and always operate on that one device only. For a site-wide PDF that aggregates all licensed AirWatch devices, use the Air Quality Reports tab instead.

Accessing Export & Reports

1. Open the device (sidebar Sites → select a site → Assets → open an AirWatch device).

2. Select the History tab.

3. Use the buttons on the right of the controls row:

   • PDF Report — opens the report configuration dialog.

   • Export — opens the data-export dialog.

Both buttons are disabled while data is loading or when the current view has no data.

URL pattern: /sites/[id]/assets/[deviceId] → tab "History".

Data Export (CSV / Excel)

The Export button opens a dialog that turns the chart's underlying data into a downloadable file. The current chart selection (range and resolution) is pre-filled, but everything can be overridden before download.

Export options

Setting	Choices	Default	Effect
Format	CSV (.csv) / Excel (.xls)	Excel	File type and delimiter
Time range	Current view / Custom range	Current view	Which window to export
Resolution	Auto / 5 min / 15 min / 1 hour / 1 day	Auto	Averaging interval per row
Include statistics summary	Toggle	on	Adds avg/min/max/median header block
Include time distribution	Toggle	on	Adds time-in-range breakdown to the header
Include comparison period	Toggle	follows chart	Adds previous-period columns
Apply working-hours filter	Toggle	follows chart	Filter rows vs. add marker columns

Before downloading, an estimate (Estimated: N rows, ~size) is shown so you know roughly how large the file will be.

Format details

• CSV — comma-separated, universally importable.

• Excel — tab-separated values saved with a .xls extension and a UTF-8 BOM, so Excel opens it cleanly with correct µ characters. (No .xlsx binary is produced.)

File contents

Each file begins with a #-prefixed metadata header, then the data rows:

• Header block — device label, variant, period, resolution, working-hours configuration, generation timestamp, and (optionally) the statistics summary and time-distribution breakdown.

• Column header — Timestamp, Time, PM2.5 (µg/m³), PM10 (µg/m³).

• Optional marker columns — is_working_hours, is_weekend are added when the working-hours filter is not applied, so you can filter in your own tool instead.

• Optional comparison columns — PM2.5_previous, PM10_previous when Include comparison period is on.

Working-hours behaviour

Apply working-hours filter	Result
On	Rows outside the working window are removed; statistics match the filtered rows.
Off	All rows are kept and is_working_hours / is_weekend marker columns are added.

Caching

If the chosen range and resolution match what the chart already loaded, the export reuses that cached data instead of re-fetching. Changing the range or resolution triggers a fresh fetch on download.

Filename

airwatch-history_{device}_{start}_to_{end}.{csv|xls}

Example: airwatch-history_Hall-3-Sensor_20260625-0000_to_20260626-0000.xls

PDF Report

The PDF Report button opens a dialog containing a configuration card and, after the first preview, a live preview of the document. The PDF is generated through the browser's print-to-PDF — no separate file is downloaded from a server.

The report is single-device: it summarises one AirWatch device, with a built-in executive summary and methodology section so it is self-explanatory when shared.

Report configuration

Before generating a preview, you can define custom report metadata and settings.

All settings are applied when you click Generate Preview. Changing a setting afterwards does not auto-refresh — re-click Generate Preview.

Setting	Type	Default	Effect
Time Period	Day / Week toggle	Day	Reporting window and chart resolution
Period navigation	Prev / Next arrows	Current	Step through past periods
Chart Size	Compact / Normal / Large	Normal	Pixel height of the Historical chart
Customer / Company	Free text	empty	Printed on the cover page
Project / Location	Free text	empty	Printed on the cover page
Additional Notes	Free text	empty	Printed on the cover page
Compare with Previous Period	Toggle	off	Adds previous-period overlay and trend deltas
Working Hours Filter	Toggle (+ sub-settings)	off	Restricts statistics to working hours only

Time Period

Time Period	Window	Chart resolution	Comparison range (when enabled)
Day	Calendar day (00:00–24:00)	15-minute buckets	Previous calendar day
Week	Calendar week (Mon–Sun)	1-hour buckets	Previous calendar week

The period label (e.g. "May 5, 2026" or "Apr 28 – May 4, 2026") appears between the navigation arrows. The "next" arrow is disabled on the current period.

Chart Size

Controls the pixel height of the Historical chart on its dedicated page.

Option	Chart height
Compact	420 px
Normal	520 px
Large	600 px

Report Information (custom metadata)

Three optional free-text fields printed on the cover page: Customer / Company, Project / Location, Additional Notes. Empty fields are omitted. The device serial number is always printed in the header notes line.

Report Options

Compare with Previous Period

When enabled, the report fetches the previous period (yesterday for Day, last calendar week for Week) and:

• overlays a dashed previous-period line on the Historical chart for PM2.5 and PM10,

• adds previous-period values and trend arrows to the Statistics section.

Trend classification uses a 5% deadband: changes smaller than ±5% are reported as Stable.

Working Hours Filter

When enabled, all statistics, time distributions, exceedance counts, and trends use only data points inside the configured working hours. The Historical chart shows vertical boundary markers at the start/end times.

Sub-setting	Default	Effect
Start Time	06:00	Beginning of the working window
End Time	16:00	End of the working window
Exclude weekends	on	Skip Saturday and Sunday entirely

The working-hours configuration is also printed on the cover page.

Generating the report

1. Pick the Time Period and navigate to the desired window.

2. Optionally fill in Customer, Project, and Notes.

3. Toggle Compare and/or Working Hours as needed.

4. Click Generate Preview — data is fetched and the preview renders.

5. Click Print / Save PDF — opens the browser print dialog.

6. Choose Save as PDF as the destination (or print directly).

Print dialog tips

The PDF is hardcoded to A4 landscape with 10 mm margins. For best results:

• Enable Background graphics so coloured badges and chart zones print correctly.

• Set margins to Default or None (margins are controlled by the report's CSS).

• If a section looks tight, lower the Chart Size to Compact and re-generate.

Report structure

The single-device PDF has a deterministic layout:

Page	Section
1	Header + Executive Summary
2	Historical Air Quality (full-page chart)
3	Statistics & Distribution
4	Methodology
Footer	Data-coverage note (points received vs. expected)

Page 1 — Header + Executive Summary

Report title (AirWatch Device Report), device name (and site name if available), reporting period, generation timestamp, optional Customer/Project/Notes, working-hours configuration (if enabled), comparison range (if enabled), and a narrative Executive Summary of top-line trends.

Page 2 — Historical Air Quality

A full-page time-series chart for the single device, titled Historical Air Quality — {device} with a Single-device readings (SN: …) scope label. Includes PM10 quality-range background bands, PM2.5 (orange) and PM10 (blue) lines, period-average reference lines, optional previous-period overlay, and working-hours boundary markers.

Page 3 — Statistics & Distribution

1. Period Statistics — average, min, max, median for PM2.5 and PM10 (with previous-period values and trend deltas when comparison is on).

2. Time Distribution — percentage of time spent in each air-quality range.

3. Exceedance Summary — minutes and number of events above each elevated threshold.

4. Peak Events — the five highest PM2.5 and PM10 readings (deduplicated within 30 minutes), with timestamps.

All blocks use the working-hours-filtered dataset when the filter is on.

Page 4 — Methodology

A short, always-included section explaining how averages, peaks, 4-hour averages, and air-quality classifications are derived, so the report is interpretable out of context.

Print format

Property	Value
Page size	A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm)
Margins	10 mm on all sides
Page-break behaviour	Each major section starts on a fresh page
