Creating power point/ word doc report (1/2)
TEMS Discovery has a feature in the
report template builder which allows
user to create a Microsoft Power
Point or Word document report
directly.
Creating in template builder

• Select and drop the metrics in the template
area.
• In the report type options window, select the
settings as per requirement.
• Add a Unique ID to that metric as shown
here.
• Save
TEMSthe report
Discovery as usual.

Creating power point/ word doc report (2/2)
• Now open a new blank power point presentation.
• Reference the metric using the unique ID that

was used while creating report template.
Example: {image:RSCP1.jpg}.
• Save this presentation with the same name as

that of the report and save it in the folder path
shown here. The path can be found in the
Configuration-> options menu. Go to the
reporting template folder at this path and save
the presentation.
• Select the project now, select the generate report

option and choose the report file (.xlsx file). The
presentation file will be created.
 In similar way, word document report can be
created too.

Script builder (1/3)
 Used for problem finding,

analysis, and reporting
 Automated problem
finding
 Written in C# Language
 Extract data from
messages
 Apply customized
algorithms

Automatic data processing (ADP) (1/5)
 ADP is an advanced configurable function that monitors
newly arrived drive test data, automatically imports the data,
generates reports, deposits the reports to a specified location,
and/or sends the reports via email.
 Creating a new ADP task is a four step process
New task
button

Step 1: File Monitor
• Here, the user specifies the
folders to be monitored by this
ADP task.
• The folders can either be
local file folder or from a FTP
server
• If you are creating an ADP
task only for output purposes,
then skip this step.

 Step 2: Output Data Source
Project and The output

dataset folders from the
under the existing
monitored projects/data
Project Root sets
Folder
When you select/unselect a tree node on one tree, TEMS Discovery

will automatically select or unselect the corresponding node on the
other tree if there is one on the other tree.

Step 3: Output Scheduler
• In this step, you can define the
scheduling parameters as per
requirements.
• For example, user can define the
schedule date range or the
schedule time to monitor the project
folder.
• The user can also define the output
data grouping options such as
output frequency, output per device
etc.

 Step 4: Output type
• In this step, user can specify
whether the output data is to be
sent to Batch PDF files and/or
Report files.
• User also have the option to

send the output file to the email
recipients specified in the Email
template.

Additional features

Data binning
 Time binning during data import
Frame level resolution
