There are two types of Dataviews:
Scalar
Vector
A scalar dataview is created from scalar data items, which are single cells from scalar or vector tables. A scalar dataview includes the following three columns:
Host Name
Data Property Name
Value
The Data Property Name column contains the name of the property for the data item in the following format: module/object/property.
The following example uses the CPU Utilization table.
In the Details window, navigate to the CPU Utilization table.
Select a data cell in the table.
Copy the data cell to the dataview clipboard in either of the following ways:
From the Options menu, choose Copy to Dataview Clipboard Cell(s) or Create Dataview Cell(s).
In the Details window, press mouse button 3 on the table and select Copy to Dataview Clipboard Cell(s) from the pop-up menu.
For additional information about the Copy to Dataview Clipboard and the Create Dataview options, see Creating a Dataview.
The vector dataview contains one or more rows from a vector module table. You can simultaneously select one row or multiple rows from a vector table. You can select multiple rows that are not contiguous. For example, you could select the following rows:
Row number 1
Row number 3
Row number 4
Row number 6
You cannot select partial rows.
Do not paste rows from vector and scalar tables into the same dataview window.
The following example uses the CPU Utilization table.
In the Browser Details window, navigate to the CPU Utilization table.
Select a row in the table.
To select multiple rows in the table, use the Shift key. To select multiple, non-continuous rows from the table, use the Control key.
To copy the data rows to the dataview clipboard, proceed with one of the following:
From the Options menu, choose Copy to Dataview Clipboard Row(s) or Create Dataview Row(s).
In the Details window, press mouse button 3 on the table and select Copy to Dataview Clipboard Row(s).
For additional information about the Copy to Dataview Clipboard and the Create Dataview options, see Creating a Dataview.
You can only paste compatible data types. If you try to paste an incompatible data type, an error dialog box appears.
