5.1.3 Display formats of reports
You can display reports as tables, lists, or graphs, whichever best meets your purpose.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Tables
You can display historical data accumulated in a time sequence in table format. This format is suitable for seeing changes in each field value in a time series. The following figure shows an example of a table.
(2) Lists
You can display field values for each agent or instance in list format. This format is especially suitable for displaying multiple agents or instances.
The following figure shows an example of a list.
The list data is displayed for each data group. A data group is a group in which data with different agents or instances are organized by time.
To display information about other agents or instances in the same data group, click the or button at the left of the list. To display information for another data group, click the or button in the menu bar of the View Report window.
(3) Graphs
Reports can be displayed in a variety of graphs. You can specify the most appropriate graph depending on the graph characteristics, the number of data instances, and the number of agents to be handled. An element displayed in a graph is called a field. In a report definition, you can specify the fields to be displayed in a graph. You can set numerical fields only.
The graph types are as follows:
-
Column graph
-
Stacked column graph
-
Bar graph
-
Stacked bar graph
-
Pie graph
-
Line graph
-
Area graph
