Environmental evidence
A graph can show what happened. LÆFAN is designed to retain the place, expected conditions, excursion, staff response and monitoring evidence that explain why it mattered.
More than a PDF
Reports are a view of the retained environmental record, not a separate pile of exported files. The useful record is the combination of measurements, provenance, collection context, profiles, excursions, checks and staff response.
Follow the record
Select a stage to see what should remain attached to the environmental history.
A useful environmental record starts with the observed value, timestamp, sensor or source, and enough provenance to understand how the measurement entered LÆFAN.
Reporting views
The same environmental history can be viewed by site, room, collection context, campaign or period. Reports should make the scope and provenance clear.
Temperature, relative humidity, light and other available measurements across a defined period and location.
Show where conditions moved outside the selected profile and retain acknowledgement, investigation and follow-up.
Bring scheduled checks, Spot Records and completed Monitoring Plan activity into the same period of evidence.
Explore Spot Records →Report a loan, temporary exhibition or investigation without duplicating the permanent sensor history underneath it.
Where appropriate, report illuminance alongside cumulative exposure and the time window that produced it.
Use PDF for a readable retained report or CSV when the underlying measurements need further analysis.
A report should explain itself
That means the report needs enough surrounding information to establish its scope, not just a chart and an average.
Example
General Display profile
First Floor · Main Site
Continuous sensors
1 manual light Spot Record
Acknowledged and investigated
No automatic closure from a staff check
4 completed
0 missed
That is more useful than a graph in isolation when a conservator, lender, auditor or colleague needs to understand what actually happened.
