Batch Reports - Chart Customization window

Use this window to customize the PDF Chart or HTML chart that is generated as a result of running a batch report. The settings that you define in this window will be used whenever the current batch report is generated.

If a field on this window does not apply to a selected report it will appear as grayed out and cannot be edited.

Field Name

Description

Chart title

Enter the name you want to appear at the top of the generated chart.

Maximum number of charts or series per screen

Select the maximum number of charts or series per page that should appear in the generated report from this drop-down list. The most charts or series you can define to appear on a page is 30.

Show values for data points or areas

Click Yes to display data points/areas on the chart in the resulting PDF or HTML file.

GRAPH_CHARTS

Chart type

Select a type for the generated chart including:

Pie Chart

Bar Chart

Stacked Bar

100% Stacked Bar

Whenever the batch report is generated, the chart will appear in the type selected on this field.

Chart orientation

Determine whether the chart graphic will appear vertically or horizontally on a page. You can set the orientation for the following chart types only: Bar Chart, Stacked Bar, and 100% Stacked Bar.

Maximum number of series per graph

Select the maximum number of resources that should appear on a graph. When the number of resources to appear on a generated graph exceeds the number in this field, the additional resources will be shown in a separate graph.
The default maximum is 12. The most resources can define to appear on one graph is 30.

History Charts

Show Trends

Check this box if you want to show a trend for the data in a history chart. The trend attempts to show future storage usage in a chart based on earlier usage. The trending of historical data enables you to see patterns of your data across your entire network. For example, if you set up a graph that shows the disk capacity of a computer between January 1 and December 31, you can view "trended" data that will predict the disk capacity for that computer over the next 3 months (25% of the non-trended data). The trended data will appear as a dashed line that is appended to the last probed or scanned data point.

Time increment for x-axis

Select which value to use for the time increment that appears on the x-axis of a history chart. You can select By Scan, Weekly, Monthly. For example, if you choose Monthly, the x-axis will measure storage usage in monthly increments.

Restore Defaults

Reset the values in the fields on this window to their original default settings.

Ok

Save the settings defined in this window. When the chart for the batch reports is generated in the future, it will automatically use the saved settings.

Cancel

Exit the window without saving the settings in the window.
