5.6.6 Tiling display of reports registered in bookmarks

You can display side-by-side graphs of multiple historical reports, which are managed using a bookmark, in an information frame by using the tiling display. You can also rearrange displayed graphs or click a displayed graph to view the report for the graph.

Tiled display of graphs is only valid for historical reports that have graph display enabled. It cannot be used for historical reports that have graph display disabled or for realtime reports.

(1) Procedure for displaying graphs in tiling display

To display graphs in tiling display:

From the monitoring console browser, log on to PFM - Web Console.
The main window appears.

In the navigation frame of the main window, choose the Bookmarks tab.
The Bookmarks window appears.

Select a bookmark for which you want to display graphs in tiling display in the Bookmarks tree of the navigation frame.
The selected bookmark is marked with a checkmark.

Select the Tiling Display method in the method frame.
When you specify something other than Specify when displayed for the date range of historical reports that are registered in a bookmark, the Tiling Display window is displayed in the information frame. The following figure shows an example of the Tiling Display window.

If you select Specify when displayed when the date range for a bookmarked historical report is displayed, the Tiling Display Settings window appears. The Tiling Display Settings window can also be displayed using the Display Settings menu in the Tiling Display window. The following figure shows an example of the Tiling Display Settings window.

Settings for the report display period

Date range

From the pull-down menu, select the date range for the data to be displayed in graphs that are displayed in tiling display. The selectable values are as follows:

- Specify when displayed

- Within the past hour

- Within the past 24 hours

- Within the past 7 days

- Within the past month

- Within the past year

The default is Within the past 24 hours.

When you select something other than Specify when displayed, the dates and times corresponding to the Start time and End time are automatically set.

Start time and End time

When you select Specify when displayed in Date range, set the start time and end time of the date range for graphs that are displayed in tiling display.

Specify the Start time and End time in YYYY MM DD hh:mm format (YYYY = year, MM = month, DD = day, hh = hour, mm = minute).

The range of dates and times you can specify is from 1971/01/01 00:00 to 2035/12/31 23:59. For the End time, specify a date and time after the Start time you specified.

Note that when you select something other than Specify when displayed, the appropriate date and time is automatically set. Additionally, if you change the date and time that are automatically displayed, settings for the Date range change to Specify when displayed.

Report interval

From the pull-down menu, select a report interval from the ones listed below. The default is displayed according to the date range selected in Date range.

- Minute

- Hour

- Day

- Week

- Month

- Year

Target reports

Use the Apply to all reports check box to switch the target of the settings specified in Settings for the report display period. The default is that the check box is cleared.

If the check box is selected, the settings will be applied to all reports regardless of the report definitions.

If the check box is cleared, the settings will only be applied to reports for which Specify when displayed is specified for Date range.

Display layout

Specify the maximum number of graphs to be arranged next to in the Tiling Display window. The selectable values are as follows:

- Number of columns: 2

- Number of columns: 3

- Number of columns: 4

After you finish specifying the settings, click the OK button.
The Tiling Display window is displayed with the specified settings applied.

Note

If the value specified in Display Layout is changed, the default graph layout (in the order of the report names) is used.

(2) Rearrange graphs

By using the tiling display, you can rearrange graphs that are displayed in the information frame.

To rearrange graphs:

Display the Tiling Display window.

In the Tiling Display window, select the Arrange tile order check box.
In the Tiling Display window, a grid frame is displayed.

Select the display area of the source graph that is surrounded by a grid frame.
From the selected area, the graph will be moved. You can also select an area where no graph is displayed.

Select the destination area enclosed with grid lines.
The area selected as the source is replaced with the area selected as the destination. You can also select an empty area with no graph as the destination.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the change in layout is complete, and then clear the Arrange tile order check box.
The grid lines disappear from the Tiling Display Settings window.

(3) Saving a layout

You can save settings for the Tiling Display window specifying the maximum number of graphs to be displayed side-by-side and the sorting order of the graphs.

To save the settings:

Display the Tiling Display window.

Change the maximum number of graphs displayed side-by-side or the layout of the graphs, as required.

Select the Save Layout menu in the Tiling Display window.
A message appears asking you to confirm whether to save the layout. If a layout already exits, the existing layout is overwritten.

Note:

If any of the bookmarked reports is deleted or if a new report is registered with the bookmark, the saved layout becomes invalid. In this case, the value for the maximum number of graphs to be displayed side-by-side becomes the default value of three, and the graphs are displayed in the order of the report names registered with the bookmark.

(4) Display a report

You can view the report for a specific graph by clicking the graph in tiled display.

The displayed report window and report display date range depend on conditions such as the tiled display settings and the settings for the report display data ranges of reports registered with the bookmark. The conditions affecting the displayed report window and display date range are described below.

Displayed report window

If Specify when displayed is selected as the data range for reports registered with the bookmark, the window of the Show Options tab appears.

If Specify when displayed is not selected as the data range for reports registered with the bookmark, the window of the View Report tab appears.

Date range for report display

For a report window displayed when a graph in tiled display is clicked, the data range specified in the Tiling Display Settings window supersedes the date ranges for the reports registered with the bookmark.
