Information

In case of any configuration changes in SMC with web applications like Advance Reporting, Dashboard or WSI, the same changes need to be reflected in Powermanger system settings.

Powermanager considers Monday as the first day of the week for all calculations irrespective of regional settings.

In case any formatting issues with the values in the generated excel, you have to edit the format of the value manually in excel.
