Sample Report

Figure 14-1, "Sample Reports Window," gives an example of a report and can be used to identify the following structure of a report window:


Figure 14-1: Sample Reports Window


Status Row

The Status Row is the first row of information after the title bar. Some of the information shown in the Status Row in Figure 14-1, "Sample Reports Window," only appears for specific reports. The information and buttons are described from left to right, as follows:


Figure 14-2: Print Specifications


  The following are the print specifications from which to select:

  • Format: Choose the format of the report that you want.

Choose PS if you want to print in PostScript format.
Choose TEXT if you want to print in text format.
Choose CSV if you want to print in comma separated values format. In this format, the columns are separated by commas.
Choose HTML if you want to print in hypertext markup language format. This choice is only available when you are printing to a file.

  • Print To: Choose the location to which you want to print.

Choose Printer to print this report to a printer. Then in the Print Command field, you can specify any valid printer command. The default that appears in the Print Command field is the value specified in the csm.properties file in the netsys.printer.cmd.unix parameter.
Choose File to print this report to a file. Then in the File Name field, enter a filename to which you want to print. Click the Browse button if you want to navigate to the filename to which you want to print.

  • Print button: After you have made your selections, click this button and print appropriately.

  • Cancel button: Click this button to close this window and return to the previous window.

Results Area

The information in the Results area varies based on the specific report. This information is explained in the specific report. See Table 14-1, "Reports, Descriptions, and Where Explained," for references to details about specific reports.

Filter Information

The row of filter information has the following components:

Filter

The filter mechanism is used to display only the report/list entries that interest you in a window's Results area. Upon specifying a case insensitive filter pattern, press Return. If the filter matches any field in a row, the entire row is displayed. The number of entries displayed as a result of a filter pattern match and the total number of entries are displayed after the Filter field. For example: 2/4.

Advanced Filter

Click this button to bring up the Advanced Filter dialog window, as shown in Figure 14-3, "Advanced Filter Window."


Figure 14-3: Advanced Filter Window


The information about the Advanced Filter window is explained in the following categories:

Bottom Task Bar

The bottom task bar contains actions allowed on the current report, usually one button per action or group of actions. The information in the bottom task bar varies based on the report type. Elements that are specific to a report are explained in that report. See Table 14-1, "Reports, Descriptions, and Where Explained," for references to details about specific reports. When a button is grayed out, it is not available in the current situation. The following buttons are common for performance reports:

  Once you have a monthly report, this drop-down menu becomes Weekly Report and you can choose a week, based on the date of the Sunday that starts the week, for which you want a report.
  Once you have a weekly report, this drop-down menu becomes a Daily Report and you can choose a day (Sunday - Saturday) for which you want a report.
  At this point you receive hourly information.
