Activities performed report

The combination of nested activities and timers can make the timing of events difficult to understand. The Activities performed report is provided to show what activities were included in the simulation and when they were performed. It also shows when the activity was performed successfully and whether all the resources needed were available.

No information is required as this report automatically creates output data in the ReportActivitiesPerformed table of the output database.

The user interface of this report provides two tabs. The Display tab presents the visual depiction of the timing and success of all activities in the simulation while the Data tab provides the underlying data created by the report.

The following parameters are used to define this activity

Create html version

When this switch is enabled, a html version of this report will be created that can be displayed in a web browser in a separate window. This report will be saved in the directory containing the simulation file (*.aspimx) and will be named ActivitiesPerformedSummary.html and a link to the report provided in the Summary tab.

This version of the report provides a number of benefits. It is very fast to display and move around when running large simulations with many time steps and activities. It provides additional status messages as pop-up tool-tips to explain issues with the simulation. You can run a simulation and simply refresh the browser page (often CTRL-F5 on windows machines) to show the changes. And, you can have this report open in another window while working with your CLEM simulation in APSIM.

Rotate report for html version

This option will rotate the report such that all activities will be provided as columns with the months (time-steps) as rows in the html report.

Automatically create html version when run

If set to true, the activities performed report will automatically be created when the simulation is run without the need to display the report in the user interface.

Include folders

If set to true, the report will include folder names in the output display as they appear in your simulation tree.

Style of handling timers

This parameter defines the style of reporting Timers in the report. The following options are available:

Ignore

No timers will be included in the output display.

In place

Timers will be included in the same place they appear in the simulation tree. This will include the timers close to the activities using them.

Place at start

All timers will be provided at the top of the report before any activities in the order they are found in the simulation tree.

Place at End

All timers will be provided at the bottom of the report after all activities in the order they are found in the simulation tree. This is useful to remove clutter from the display of activities, but still provide the timers to indicate whether events were performed based on timers.

A range of icons are displayed to present the status of every activity and timer included in the simulation.

The following icons are used:

	blank	The activity was not considered in this time-step. This is likely due to associated timers not permitting the activity or the activity has been disabled.
	no task	The activity does not have a task to perform.
	not needed	The activity was performed, but had nothing to do. For example, there was no plant production in the time-step
	success	The activity was performed with all needed resources provided.
	partial	There were insufficient resources to perform the activity. The resources available were used as the OnPartialResourcesAvailableAction was set to UseAvailableResources
	warning	There was a warning associated with this activity. Refer to the activity description for more details.
	critical	There were insufficient resources to perform the activity. The simulation was stopped as the OnPartialResourcesAvailableAction was set to ReportErrorAndStop
	calculation	The activity performed a calculation in the time step.
	timer	The timer allowed all associated activities to be performed in the time-step

This report will also include a column at the start of the simulation representing all the tasks that happened during initialisation of the simulation.
