TestStand Report Graph Is Not Drawn When Saving to Network Drive

Software

  • TestStand 2019
  • TestStand 2020
  • TestStand 2021

Issue Details

I set my result processing to save the report on a network drive and set it to draw arrays as graphs. Although my report is correctly created, the graphs are not displayed.

Solution

The issue is due to the browser/report control not allowing the graph controls to get rendered when the report file is saved in a network location. The following workarounds are available:

  1. Copying the report file to a local location and opening would show up the graphs in the browser.
  2. Add the network location to the list of trusted sites in windows and uncheck the option to need server verification allowing users to view report file using Microsoft Edge. 
  3. Update NI TestStand to the latest version available.

Additional Information

Follow the steps below to add the network location to the list of trusted sites on windows. We can then use Microsoft Edge because Edge inherits these settings from Windows. 

  1. Press Windows + R, type inetcpl.cpl and press Enter.
    This opens the classic Internet Options dialog.
  2. Go to the Security tab.
  3. Select Trusted Sites and click Sites.
  4. Uncheck Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone if needed.
  5. Add your network location (e.g., http://your-network-location).
  6. Click Close, then Apply and OK.
