Shows the name of the report in the monitoring template.

Synopsis
Provides a summary of the information that can be viewed in the report.

Location
Shows the location of the report.

Records
Shows the type of performance data records on which the report is based. Before you can display a historical report, you must set up the Performance Management to collect the records indicated here. Before displaying the report, display the agent properties in the Agents page of PFM - Web Console, and make sure that Log = Yes is set for these records. This setting is not required for the records in a real-time report.

Fields
Shows a table of the fields used in the report.

Drilldown reports (field level)
Shows a table of the reports in the monitoring template that are associated with the fields in the report. You can display these drilldown reports by clicking a graph, list, or table in the report window of PFM - Web Console. By displaying a drilldown report from a time item in a historical report, you can narrow down the time period of the data in the report. Only some reports have drilldown reports.
For details on drilldown reports, see the chapter that explains creation of reports for operation analysis in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.
