How to Install The Gateway

Installation

Installing the Ignition Reporting module is a simple process done in the Ignition web configuration. From the Gateway Configuration Page do the following:

Fig. 1: Go to the Modules section, then click the "Install or Upgrade a Module" icon

Trial Mode

The Ignition Reporting module trial works in a similar fashion as Ignition's trial mode.

The trial mode provides a way for you to try our software without any feature restrictions. This allows you to fully evaluate our software to make sure that it's right for you. In the trial mode, all reports will have a watermark on them displaying the fact that the reporting module is being run in trial mode. In addition, after two hours of cumulative runtime, the module will 'timeout'. When the module times out, the Row Selector and Column selector components will have a watermark on them, and the report component will no longer be able to print or save to PDF. You can log into the Ignition Gateway and reset the trial timer, which resets the two-hour timeout period. You can do this as many times as you want, which means that you can evaluate it for as long as you want! This system gives you flexibility to evaluate our product, while making it impractical for industrial use.

Running Ignition Designer does not cause your trial window to decrease. This means that you can design an entire project on an un-activated Ignition Gateway.
