Entire-sequence report

The Entire-sequence report summarizes the complete activity recorded in Multiple postures mode. It analyzes how results develop over time, exposure to the different risk factors, and the time points requiring the most attention.

To prepare it, select Multiple postures mode, open the Report Generator, and select Entire sequence under Report type.

The complete selector and the difference from a current-posture report are explained under Multiple-posture reports. The remaining controls are described under Report generation.

Scope of the entire-sequence report

Entire sequence, identified by number 1, obtains results from the sequence as a whole. The posture displayed when the generator opens does not limit the document’s scope.

When the preview is generated, Ergoniza Intelligent uses the available global analysis. If there is no current analysis, it prepares one before building the report sections. This can take longer than a current-posture report because signal development must be considered throughout the activity.

Included indicators retain the name and reference of the active configuration. When prior exertion and rest are considered, the global analysis uses the recommended capacity available at each time point, while cumulative load remains an independent temporal result.

If the sequence, loads, repetitions, rest periods, or biomechanical settings change, update the analysis and generate the preview again.

The individual postural sections—Postural information, Discomfort, REBA/LUBA, Exertion, Lumbar compression, and Stability and supports—are replaced by global sections 2 through 6. Their results do not necessarily disappear: when available and selected by the filters, they are integrated by risk factor, exposure, and relevant time point.

Common sections

The entire-sequence report retains these common sections:

• Introduction.
• Model settings.
• Anthropometry.
• Results analysis.
• Conclusions.

These sections can be enabled, disabled, and ordered together with the global sections. Results analysis retains the option to show all results, risks and warnings, or risks only.

See Introduction and conclusions to write and manage these texts consistently with the global scope.

Sequence summary

Sequence summary, identified by number 2, provides a quantitative summary of the analysis performed with the active filters. It can include:

• analyzed duration;
• number of samples analyzed;
• number of selected signals;
• maximum level observed;
• exposure at Warning level or higher;
• exposure at Risk level;
• number of relevant time points included.

Exposure is expressed as a percentage of the analyzed duration and as the corresponding time. Warnings about the validity of any biomechanical result are also displayed in this section.

Risk factors and regions

Section 3 records the filters used to build the report. It distinguishes:

• analyzed and unanalyzed risk factors;
• analyzed and unanalyzed body regions.

The generator uses the same filters as the Multiple-posture advisor and Ergo-Wizard. Disabled factors or regions are not later included by inference.

Filters cannot be changed in the Report Generator. To change the selection, use the Results Advisor or Ergo-Wizard and then generate the global preview again.

Results by factor

Results by factor, identified by number 4, groups the selected signals by their risk factor. For each factor, it can display:

• number of signals analyzed;
• maximum level reached;
• exposure at Warning level or higher;
• exposure at Risk level;
• most relevant signals;
• maximum value and level for each signal;
• time at Warning level and time at Risk level.

This organization lets you compare the importance and persistence of different factors without examining every individual sample in the sequence.

Relevant time points

Section 5 presents the most ergonomically relevant time points in priority order. For each time point, it can state:

• time within the sequence;
• nearest recorded posture;
• maximum level;
• total number of findings detected;
• number of warnings and risks;
• main factors, findings, and values supporting its selection.

The section is not intended to list every moment in the activity. It helps locate the time points containing the most relevant results under the current filters.

Sequence charts

Sequence charts, identified by number 6, includes representations of how the most relevant risk factors develop over time and identifies priority time points.

The charts are generated from the signals included by the filters. If the current selection provides no suitable signals, the report states that no charts are available.

Disabling this section prevents the charts from being prepared but does not remove numerical results from the other global sections.

Recommended procedure

1. Prepare and review the complete sequence in Multiple postures mode.
2. In the Results Advisor or Ergo-Wizard, configure the risk factors and body regions to analyze.
3. Open the Report Generator.
4. Select Entire sequence, identified by number 1.
5. Enable the sections to include and order them if necessary.
6. Generate the preview and wait for analysis and chart preparation to finish.
7. Under Risk factors and regions, verify that the intended selection was used.
8. Review the summary, results by factor, and relevant time points.
9. If you change the filters, generate or update the preview again before creating the final document.

Relationship with conclusions

Conclusions obtained from Ergo-Wizard retain the scope for which they were generated. For an entire-sequence report, they must correspond to the analysis of the entire sequence. If they belong to the current posture, Ergoniza Intelligent displays a warning before preparing the preview so that you can review them or explicitly continue.
