Object Selection

You can select most STA objects—items in dialog box lists, table columns, and table rows, for example. In addition, the STA interface supports multi-select for many object types. The STA documentation identifies when multi-select is supported and when it is not.

The following examples use the Reorder Columns dialog box, which appears when you select View, then Reorder Columns from the List Table Toolbar.

- Click an object to select it.

Multi-select

- Shift-click to select a range of objects.

- Ctrl-click to select multiple non-contiguous objects.

Deselect

- Ctrl-click an already selected object to deselect it.

Navigation Methods

Note:
You should not use your browser's Forward and Back (or Next and Previous) buttons for navigating through the STA screens. The use of these buttons could produce unpredictable results, as the data you see may be stale or out of sync with the data on the STA server. To navigate, you should always use the methods provided by STA: the Navigation Bar and text links, described in the sections that follow.

Navigation Bar

The Navigation Bar is located on the left side of the STA screen. It consists of a series of vertical tabs that expand and collapse according to your selections. The vertical tabs provide a visual map of the STA screen hierarchy. The number of screens listed under each tab varies. You can expand only one tab at a time.

The Navigation Bar serves as the primary means of navigation, and all STA screens are accessible through it. Additional navigation options are offered through text links. See "Text Link Navigation" for details.

Text Link Navigation

The Navigation Bar is the primary navigation tool for STA, allowing you direct access to all STA screens (see "Navigation Bar" for details). Text links provide an additional means of navigation, especially for drilling down to detailed information about resources.

The following types of text links are available:

- "Resource ID Links"

- "Aggregate Count Links"

When you click a text link, you are taken to a screen displaying additional detail for the item(s), and the Navigation Bar is updated to reflect your current location within the screen hierarchy.

In addition, by clicking a link, you apply filter criteria to the resulting screen, and these criteria remain active as you navigate to other screens. This is an important point in understanding the full power of STA. See the STA User's Guide for full details.

Links appear on the screen in underlined blue text.

Resource ID Links

Resource ID links appear in List View Tables and Detail View screens. For example, the following identifiers are usually active links:

- Media IDs: Usually Volume Serial Number (VSN or volser)

- Drive IDs: Usually Drive World Wide Node Name (WWNN) or Drive Serial Number

- Exchange IDs: Usually Exchange Start

Occasionally, these identifiers are not active links, either because the information about the resource is incomplete, or the resource has been removed from the tape library system. In such cases, the resource IDs appear on the screen in dimmed gray text. See the STA User's Guide for additional details.

Clicking a resource ID link takes you to the corresponding Detail View screen, which provides complete details for that resource. The Detail View screen may, in turn, provide links for related resources; you can click any of them to display detail about these resources.

Note:
In most cases, resource IDs are unique, but in some cases they may not be, such as duplicate volsers in a library or library complex.

Aggregate Count Links

The cells within pivot tables contain aggregate counts of resources or events that meet specific criteria (see "Pivot Tables" for details).

Clicking an aggregate count takes you to the corresponding Overview screen, which provides additional detail for the resources included in the count. If the aggregate count is "1", only one resource is displayed on the Overview screen. If the aggregate count is "0", clicking the link displays the message: "There is no data to display."

Note:
Aggregate count links also apply filter criteria to the data displayed in the table. See the STA User's Guide for details.

Best Practices for Using the STA Screen Display

This section provides tips for using the STA screens and navigation. See the STA User's Guide for related login session tips.

Navigating forward and backward

Do not use your browser's Forward and Back (or Next and Previous) buttons for navigating through the STA screens. Using these buttons could have unpredictable results, as the data you see may be stale or out of sync with the data on the STA server. To navigate, you should always use the methods provided by STA: the Navigation Bar and text links.

Using browser zoom

STA supports browser zoom, but zooming in too far may cause screen elements to be truncated. In the sample Dashboard below, the screen has been zoomed in so far that the Logout link has been truncated from the Main Toolbar, the toolbars on the Dashboard graph portlets have been truncated horizontally, and the Navigation Bar has been truncated vertically.

If you notice any of these kinds of conditions, you can try the following corrective actions:

- Increase the size of the browser window, if you can. This may restore the truncated toolbar items.

- If this does not work, or if you do not have room on your screen to increase the size of the browser window, then close the browser session and log in again. This will restore the default zoom, and you can then zoom in to a lesser degree.

Tooltips

Also called hover text. STA makes wide use of hover text to provide detail about text, icons, graphs, and parts of graphs. Try hovering the mouse over screen elements that interest you to display the detail.

See "Tooltips".

"Clickable" screen components

Many screen elements are selectable. Typically anything that is either a specific identifier (drive ID or media volser, for example) or a count of a specific group of items (total drives in a library or 30-day alerts count, for example) is selectable and will take you to a screen displaying detail for the associated items.

See "Text Link Navigation".

Screen Arrangement Tasks

- "Resize the Navigation Bar"

- "Collapse and Restore the Navigation Bar"

- "Resize the Graphics and Table Areas"

- "Collapse and Restore the Graphics Area"

Resize the Navigation Bar

Use this procedure to resize the Navigation Bar and Main Window relative to one another.

1. Move the mouse over the space between the Navigation Bar and the Main Window, until the vertical Resize control bar and Resize object cursor appear.

2. Click and drag the control bar until the Navigation Bar and Main Window are the sizes you want, and then release the control bar.

Collapse and Restore the Navigation Bar

Use this procedure to hide the Navigation Bar and then restore it.

1. Click the Collapse Pane icon in the space between the Navigation Bar and the Main Window.

The Navigation Bar is collapsed, and the Main Window is expanded horizontally across the entire screen.

2. To restore the Navigation Bar to its original width, click the Restore Pane icon on the left side of the window.

Resize the Graphics and Table Areas

Use this procedure to resize the Graphics and Table Areas relative to one another.

1. Move the mouse over the space between the Graphics and Table Areas until the Resize Control Bar and Resize object cursor appear.

Note:
If the Resize Control Bar does not appear, it could be the Graphics Area has been collapsed, as indicated by the Restore Pane down-arrow icon at the top of the screen. If this is the case, see "Collapse and Restore the Graphics Area" for instructions.

2. Click and drag the Resize Control Bar until the two areas are the sizes you want, and then release the mouse. The Collapse Pane icon remains in the up-arrow position indicating the Graphics Area has been resized, not collapsed.

Collapse and Restore the Graphics Area

Use this procedure to hide the Graphics Area and then restore it. Collapsing the Graphics Area provides more space in the Main Window for you to view table data.

1. Click the Collapse Pane icon in the space between the Graphics and Table Areas.

The Graphics Area is hidden, and the Table Area expands vertically over the entire Main Window. The icon changes to the Restore Pane down-arrow icon.

2. To restore the Graphics Area to the size it was before it was collapsed, click the Restore Pane icon at the top of the Main Window.

Navigation Tasks

- "Use Links to Navigate"

- "Use Aggregate Count Links to Navigate"

Use the Navigation Bar to Access Screens

Use this procedure to display screens through the Navigation Bar.

1. Click a collapsed tab in the Navigation Bar.

The tab is expanded, displaying links to all the screens in the tab.

At the same time, the first screen listed under the tab is automatically displayed in the Main Window. The screen title, at the top left of the Main Window (Alerts Overview in this example) corresponds to your selection in the Navigation Bar.

2. You can navigate to other screens by doing either of the following:

- Click a screen link within the currently expanded tab to display that screen.

- Click any collapsed tab to expand it and display links to its screens.

Use Links to Navigate

This procedure is an example of using resource ID links to display detail about an individual drive and other resources related to it.

1. In the Navigation Bar, click Drives to display the Drives – Overview screen.
The Drive Serial Number column displays text links for all drives.

2. Click one of the drive links.

You are taken to the Drives –Overview, Detail View screen, which displays full detail for the selected drive.

- A – Detail View header identifies the drive displayed.

- B – Related resource ID links appear on the screen.

3. Click the Volume Serial Number link.
You are taken to the Media –Overview, Detail View screen, which displays full detail for the selected media record.

- A – Screen title identifies the current screen.

- B – Detail View header identifies the media record displayed.

- C – Additional resource ID links appear on the screen. You can click any of these links to continue navigation.

Use Aggregate Count Links to Navigate

This procedure is an example of how to use aggregate count links to drill down to additional detail about a group of drives included in an aggregate count.

1. In the Navigation Bar, click the Drives tab and then the Analysis link to display the Drives – Analysis screen.
The screen includes a pivot table. In this example, the aggregate count "3" in the highlighted cell represents three StorageTek drives in library "1", within complex "A-SL8500", that all have a health indicator of "MONITOR".

2. Click the highlighted link.
You are taken to the Drives – Overview screen, which displays additional detail for the three drives.

- A – Screen title identifies the current screen.

- B – Table filter description is updated to reflect the filter criteria represented by the aggregate count on the Drives – Analysis screen. See the STA User's Guide for details on the table filter description.

- C – The three drives included in the aggregate count are shown in the data table.

3. Click any of the text links in the Drive WWNN column to display complete details for an individual drive. At this point, see "Use Links to Navigate" for sample instructions.

2 User Preferences

STA provides various options for managing your login sessions and modifying the STA user interface display. Because these modifications are made on a username basis, different users can modify the settings to their own needs. Your settings remain in effect for future login sessions.

The following topics are discussed in this section:

- Screen Session Options

- Time Zone Options

- Removed Drives and Media Display Options

- Accessibility Options

- Confirmation Dialog Box Options

- User Preference Tasks

Screen Session Options

You can modify both the screen refresh and automatic timeout intervals for your STA username.

Screen Refresh Interval

The STA screen display is refreshed automatically to display new data that may be available. The default refresh rate is every eight minutes. You can optionally change the refresh rate for your STA username to any period from one minute to twelve hours. See "Modify the Screen Refresh Interval" for instructions.

Automatic Timeout Interval

The default session timeout is 30 minutes. If your login session is idle for longer than this amount of time, your session is ended and you will need to log in again. You can optionally change the timeout period for your STA username to any period from 10 minutes to 24 hours. See "Modify the Login Session Timeout Period" for details.

Note:
Increasing the session timeout is likely to increase STA server memory utilization, with possible impact on STA performance. See the STA User's Guide for additional information.

If your login session is idle for the defined amount of time, your session is ended automatically. Two minutes before the expiration time, the following dialog box appears. Click OK within the two-minute period to keep your session active.

If you do not click OK within the two-minute period, your session is ended, and the following dialog box appears.

When you click OK, you are re-directed to the Login screen so you can log in again.

Note:
The session timeout clock starts as soon as you start the Login screen in your browser. If you leave your browser idle and do not log in within the defined session timeout period, the Expiration Warning and Page Expired dialog boxes appear as described above.

Time Zone Options

Dates and times of events shown in the STA user interface are automatically displayed in your local time zone. For example, an exchange with a start time of 02:43 on a library in San Francisco shows a start time of 06:43 for an STA user in Brasilia (four hours later), and 16:43 for a user in Jakarta (14 hours later).

By default, STA displays times adjusted to your computer's system clock. You can optionally set a specific time zone for your STA username to see data displayed according to a different location. For example, if you are reviewing data with a colleague in a different time zone, you may want to temporarily change your time zone to match his or hers. See "Change Your Time Zone Setting" for instructions.

Note:
These settings do not affect the Dashboard display. Dashboard data is always shown in UTC time, regardless of your time zone preference settings. See the STA User's Guide for details.

The following figures show the same exchange data with two different time zone settings.

Figure 2-1 Exchanges With Time Zone Set to US/Eastern

Figure 2-2 Exchanges With Time Zone Set to US/Mountain (Two Hours Earlier)

Filtering is also done according to the time zone setting for your STA username. When you enter filter criteria based on time and date, use times in your local time zone.

Removed Drives and Media Display Options

By default, removed drives and media are not included on their respective Overview and Analysis screens. However, you can selectively turn on the display of either removed drives, removed media, or both. Your selections take effect immediately, so depending on your needs, you can selectively show or hide removed drives and media throughout your login session. See "Modify Removed Drives and Media Display Settings" for instructions on how to change the settings.

Table 2-1 summarizes the effects of selecting or deselecting each option. See the STA User's Guide for details about removed drives and media.

3 Graph Displays

Graphs appear in the Main Window of the following types of screens:

- Dashboard

- Overview

- Analysis

This section describes the types of graphs available on Overview and Analysis screens and provides instructions for modifying their appearance and the data they display. The following topics are discussed:

- Areas of the Main Window

- Types of Graphs

- Graphs on Overview Screens

- Graphs on Analysis Screens

- Best Practices for Graph Displays

- Graph Display Tasks

- Data Graphing Tasks

Areas of the Main Window

All STA Overview and Analysis screens follow the same general structure and layout. The Main Window is divided into a Graphics Area at the top, and a Table Area at the bottom. The border between the two areas is marked by the Collapse Pane icon, which is always visible, and the Resize control bar, which appears when you move the mouse over the space between the two areas.

STA has two types of graphics screens: Overview and Analysis. This section describes graph characteristics and tasks shared by both screen types. See the following sections for characteristics unique to each type.

- "Graphs on Overview Screens"

- "Graphs on Analysis Screens"

Types of Graphs

This section describes the types of graphs used in STA. It also describes actions you can perform to get the most information from the graphs.

- "Line Graphs"

- "Area Charts"

- "Bar Charts"

- "Pie Charts"

- "Spark Charts"

Line Graphs

Line graphs are used to compare actual values for one or more resources over a period of time. Each line represents a resource (drive or media) or other category of data. Time is always shown on the horizontal axis. Each point on the line represents an actual value at a point in time. There must be at least two data points available for a line graph; if there is only one data point, the graph will display as a bar chart.

Note:
The default date range for most STA line graphs (libraries, complexes, drives, and media) is the last 30 days. For exchanges, the default is one day—the current date.

User Action

Description

Display detailed values

Move the mouse over a point in time on a line to display the specific value in a tooltip. Other lines on the graph are dimmed.

Highlight values

Move the mouse over an area of the legend to highlight that line on the graph. All other lines remain on the graph but are dimmed.

Area Charts

Area charts are used to compare percentage values for two or more resources over a period of time. An area chart is similar to a line graph, but in addition, the area under the line is filled in with a color or pattern. Each line represents a resource (drive or media) or other category of data, and the size of the area under the line represents the resource's percentage of the total. Time is always displayed on the horizontal axis. Each point on the line represents an actual data value at a point in time.

Note:
The default date range for most STA area charts (libraries, complexes, drives, and media) is the last 30 days. For exchanges, the default is one day—the current date.

User Action

Description

Display detailed values

Move the mouse over a point in time on a line to display the specific value in a tooltip. Other sections on the graph are dimmed.

Highlight values

Move the mouse over an area of the legend to highlight that section on the graph. All other sections remain on the graph but are dimmed.

Bar Charts

Bar charts are used to display actual values for one or more resources at a point in time. Each bar represents a resource (drive or media) or other category of data, and the size of the bar represents the resource's actual value.

User Action

Description

Display detailed values

Move the mouse over a bar to display the specific value in a tooltip. Other bars on the graph are dimmed.

Link to a detail screen

Note: This action is available from the Dashboard only.
Click an area of the bar to link to the detail screen for that resource type; in this example, the link is to the Drives –Overview screen. The List View table on the screen indicates that a filter has been applied:

Highlight values

Move the mouse over an area of the legend to highlight that entry in the graph. All other entries remain on the graph but are dimmed.

Pie Charts

Pie charts are used to compare percentage values for two or more resources at a point in time. Each section of the pie represents a resource (drive or media) or other category of data, and the size of the section represents the resource's percentage of the total. To be meaningful, pie charts require graphing at least two resources, as only one resource will take up all of the pie.

User Action

Description

Display detailed values

Move the mouse over a section of the pie to display the percentage value in a tooltip. Other sections of the pie are dimmed.

Link to an Overview screen

Note: This action is available on the Dashboard only.
Click a pie section to link to the Overview screen for that resource type; in this example, the link is to the Drives –Overview screen. The List View table on the screen indicates that a filter has been applied:

Highlight values

Move the mouse over an area of the legend to highlight that entry in the pie chart. All other entries remain on the chart but are dimmed.

Spark Charts

Embedded spark charts are included in some Dashboard table portlets (see the STA User's Guide for table portlet descriptions). A spark chart is a small line graph that plots up to four key values—Start, End, High, and Low—for a selected date range. Spark charts can help you to see patterns in data values over time.

Depending on the date range selected and the variation among the key values, a given chart may have only two or three dots plotted, rather than four. This is because the dot for one value may hide the other if two key values are close in date and value. Filtering for a shorter date range may reveal more detail.

Figure 3-1 through Figure 3-3 show three different date ranges for the same Dashboard portlet. Because all three ranges use the current date as the end date, the End Values are the same for all. The other key values vary, however, as the start date and relative high and low values are different for each range.

Figure 3-1 Monitored Device Trends Filtered for "Less Than 250 Days Ago"

Figure 3-2 Monitored Device Trends Filtered for "Less Than 30 Days Ago"

Figure 3-3 Monitored Device Trends Filtered for "Less Than 2 Days Ago"

Graphs on Overview Screens

The Graphics Area of Overview screens consists of the Graphics Area Toolbar and one or more graph panes. Each graph pane also has a Graph Pane Toolbar. When multiple graph panes are displayed, they are tiled, up to three per row. You can display up to 15 graph panes at a time.

You can modify the data displayed on individual graph panes through any of the following actions:

- Change the displayed attribute; see "Graphed Attribute" below for details.

- Change the displayed date range; see "Date Range" below for details.

- Switch between real and percentage values; see "Real and Percentage Values" below for details.

- Add individual resources to the graph for direct comparison; see "Individual Records" for details.

Graphed Attribute

Each graph pane displays values for exactly one drive or media attribute. You can change the displayed attribute by clicking the Change Graphed Attribute icon on the Graph Pane Toolbar and then selecting any of the available attributes for that resource type.

See "Change the Graphed Attribute" for detailed instructions.

Date Range

By default, most graph panes display values for the previous 30 days. This is a rolling time period which is updated daily. The exception to this is the graph panes on the Exchanges Overview screen, which display values for the current date only.

You can change the date range by clicking the Choose Date Range icon on the Graph Pane Toolbar. You can then specify new start and ending dates for the range or a point in time (one day). Date ranges longer than one day are displayed as line graphs. Point-in-time graphs are displayed as bar charts. See "Change the Date Range" for detailed instructions.

Once you have specified a new date range for an individual graph, you can apply that range to all graphs on the screen by clicking the Synchronize Date Range icon. See "Synchronize a Date Range Across All Graphs" for detailed instructions.

Real and Percentage Values

By default, the graph panes display actual data values. You can optionally switch to a percentage display, which shows individual resource values as a percentage of the whole. Actual values are displayed as a line graph, and percentage values are displayed as an area graph.

You can switch between actual and percentage value displays by selecting the Show Percentages icon on the Graph Pane Toolbar.

See "Switch Between Actual and Percentage Values – Overview Screens" for detailed instructions.

Units of Measure

Units of measure are identified on the horizontal and vertical axes of each graph pane. On line and area graphs, which show values over time, time is always shown on the horizontal axis, and the attribute values are shown on the vertical axis. The scale of both axes automatically adjust to provide a useful amount of detail for the values included in the graph.

If the graphed attribute includes a unit of measure, such as MB Read, then the total value of a given data point is the product of the unit of measure included in the attribute multiplied by the unit of measure of the vertical axis. The sample graph panes shown below use different units of measure on their vertical axes.

- In the MB Read graph, the highlighted data point indicates a value of 88.59K. Because the vertical axis is measured in megabytes, the value of the data point is actually 88.59K megabytes, or 88,590 MB.

- In the Dismounts graph, the highlighted data point indicates a value of 2,061. Because there is no multiplier on the vertical axis, the value of the data point is actually 2,061.

Individual Records

When you first start an Overview screen, the graph panes display only the system average for their selected attribute. You can compare individual resources to each other and the system average by adding the resources to the graphs. You add individual resources by selecting their records on the List View table, and then applying the selection to the graphs. The individual values are then highlighted on the graph, and the system average is ghosted.

You can change the displayed resources simply by selecting different ones and re-applying the selection. If there is no data for a selected resource, no values will appear on the graph, but the resource will be added to the graph key to indicate that it has been selected. When you leave the Overview screen, the selections are cleared, so that when you return, the graph panes again display the system average only.

To clear all resources from the graphs without exiting the screen, you can deselect all records on the List View table, and then re-apply the selection to the graphs.

See "Add Library Resources to Graphs" for detailed instructions.

Best Practices for Graph Displays

This section provides tips for using the STA graph displays.

Hiding graphs

The graphs at the top of most Overview screens are often not needed. Use the Collapse Pane button between the graphs and the table to collapse the graphs and make more space for the table. You can save this view as a default template so it is easily applied to the screen.

See "Collapse and Restore the Graphics Area".

System average

The dotted black line shown by default in all graphs shows a summary or average across your tape library system. This provides a good comparative baseline.

See "Individual Records".

Displaying individual values

You can add specific resources (drives, media, and so on) to the graphs by multi-selecting them from the table, and then clicking the Apply icon. This is a powerful tool for comparing resources within your tape library system.

See "Add Library Resources to Graphs".

Synchronizing graphs

You can synchronize date and time ranges on the Overview screen graphs by clicking the Synchronize Date Range icon on each graph. This provides a good way to compare resources across multiple data ranges—you can change the date and time range in one graph and then synchronize the other graphs to it.

See "Synchronize a Date Range Across All Graphs".

Graph Display Tasks

These procedures allow you to modify the appearance and arrangement of graphs on the STA screen. Some tasks apply to both Overview and Analysis screens, while others apply to Overview screens only; this distinction is identified at the top of each procedure.

- "Detach a Graph Pane"

- "Rearrange Graph Panes"

- "Add a Graph Pane"

- "Remove a Graph Pane"

- "Switch Between Narrow and Wide Views"

- "Perform a Graph "Quick Print""

Detach a Graph Pane

Note:
This procedure applies to both Overview and Analysis screens.

Use this procedure to separate a graph pane from the Graphics Area and display it in a separate window in the browser foreground. Once you have detached a graph pane, you can resize it and move it anywhere within the browser window. You can detach only one pane at a time.

1. Click Detach Pane in the Graph Pane Toolbar.

The graph pane is displayed in a separate window in the screen foreground.

Note:
If you navigate to another screen, the pane is automatically closed.

2. Optionally, you can move or resize the pane as follows:

- To move the pane, click and drag the top border.

- To resize the pane, click and drag an edge or corner.

3. To restore the graph pane to its normal position, do either of the following:

- Click Close in the Graph Pane Toolbar.

- Click Detach Pane in a second graph pane. This restores the first graph pane to its normal position and displays the second graph pane in the foreground.

Rearrange Graph Panes

Note:
This procedure applies to Overview screens only.

Use this procedure to rearrange graph panes in the Graphics Area. This procedure can be used in narrow view or wide view.

1. Move the mouse over the Graph Pane border of the pane you want to move. The Move Object cursor appears.

2. Click and drag the pane to its new location.

3. Once the pane is near the position you want, release the cursor.
The pane snaps into place. You do not need to position it exactly.

Add a Graph Pane

Note:
This procedure applies to Overview screens only.

Use this procedure to add a graph pane to the screen. Data is displayed in the new graph according to the following criteria:

- The graph displays the default attribute for the resource type. For media, the default is Data Mounts; for drives, it is MB Read. You can change the attribute to any available attribute for the resource.

- If the existing graph panes have all been synchronized to the same date range, the new graph uses the same one; otherwise, the graph uses the system default date range of the previous 30 days.

- The new graph displays actual values, even if all the existing graphs display percentages.

- If individual resources have been applied to the existing graphs, the new graph displays the same ones.

1. Click Add Graph on the Graphics Area Toolbar.

Note:
You can display up to 15 graph panes at a time; once you reach 15, the Add Graph icon is disabled (dimmed).

The graph pane is added to the end of the Graphics Area display. You may need to use the vertical scrollbar to view the graph.

- To move the pane to a new position, see "Rearrange Graph Panes".

- To graph a different attribute, see "Change the Graphed Attribute".

Remove a Graph Pane

Note:
This procedure applies to Overview screens only.

Use this procedure to delete a graph pane from the Graphics Area display.

1. Click Remove Pane on the Graph Pane Toolbar.

The pane is removed from the display.

See "Add a Graph Pane" for instructions on restoring the graph pane to the display.

Switch Between Narrow and Wide Views

Note:
This procedure applies to both Overview and Analysis screens.

Use this procedure to display graphs in narrow and wide formats. Narrow view is the default, and it allows you to do side-by-side comparisons of graphed attributes. Wide view allows you to see each graph in greater detail.

1. Click Wide View on the Graphics Area Toolbar.

The display changes to wide view, in which each graph pane is expanded horizontally across the entire Graphics Area. A vertical scrollbar appears, allowing you to scroll down to the remaining panes.

2. To switch back to narrow view, click Narrow View in the Graphics Area Toolbar.

Perform a Graph "Quick Print"

Note:
This procedure applies to both Overview and Analysis screens.

Use this procedure to perform a "quick print" of all graphs currently displayed.

Note:
For best results, you might want to display the graphs in Wide View mode. This will allow you to see more detail in the printed graphs.

1. Click Printable Graphs on the Graphics Area Toolbar.

A new tab is created in your browser window, showing all graphs in a printable format.

2. You can use your browser's standard Print function to send this display to a printer.

Data Graphing Tasks

- New date range (date range graphs are displayed as line graphs):

Synchronize a Date Range Across All Graphs

Note:
This procedure applies to Overview screens only.

Use this procedure to synchronize all graph panes to the same date range.

1. In one graph pane on the screen, set the date range you want to apply to all the panes. See "Change the Date Range" for instructions.

2. Click Synchronize Date Range in the Graph Pane Toolbar of that graph pane.

The Synchronize Graphs confirmation dialog box appears.

3. Click Yes to synchronize.
All graph panes in the Graphics Area are synchronized to display the same date range. All other data display characteristics (graphed attribute, actual versus percentage values, added resources) remain unchanged.

Add Library Resources to Graphs

Note:
This procedure applies to Overview screens only.

Use this procedure to add selected library resources—such as libraries, drives, media, and so on—to all graph panes on the screen. In the default view, graphs display only the system average for the graphed attribute.

1. In the List View table, select one or more resources.

Note:
You can use multi-select to select more than one resource; see "Multi-select" for details.

2. Click Apply Selection on the List View Toolbar.

The selected resources are added to all graph panes on the screen.

Note:
Depending on the data values for the selected resources, the scale of one or more graph panes may change. The scales of the horizontal and vertical axes automatically adjust to show a useful amount of detail for the selected resources.

3. You can change the selected resources, as follows:

- To remove these resources and add different ones, repeat Step 1 and Step 2, this time selecting different resources.

- To remove all resources from the graphs and display just the System Average, deselect all the selected resources in the table and click Apply Selection again.

Switch Between Actual and Percentage Values – Overview Screens

Note:
This procedure applies to Overview screens only.

Use this procedure to switch between actual and percentage values on a graph pane. Actual values are displayed by default. Percentage values compare individual resources within a set of selected resources; therefore, displaying percentage values is useful only when at least two resources have been added to the graph.

1. Add two or more resources to the graph. See "Add Library Resources to Graphs" for detailed instructions.

2. Click Show Percentages on the Graph Pane Toolbar.

The graphed values change from actual to percent, and the line graph changes to an area chart.

3. The Show Percentages icon acts as a toggle. You can click it again to switch back to actual values.

Switch Between Actual and Percentage Values – Analysis Screens

Note:
This procedure applies to Analysis screens only.

Use this procedure to switch between actual and percentage values on a graph pane. Actual values are displayed by default. Percentage values compare individual resources within a set of selected resources; therefore, displaying percentage values is useful only when at least two resources have been added to the graph.

1. Click Show Percentages on the Graph Pane Toolbar.

The graphed values change from actual to percent, and the bar chart changes to a pie chart.

2. The Show Percentages icon acts as a toggle. You can click it again to switch back to actual values.

Graph Detail for a Pivot Table Attribute

Note:
This procedure applies to Analysis screens only.

Use this procedure to graph detail data for a pivot table attribute. This results in just one graph pane in the Graphics Area.

Note:
You can graph attributes that appear on the row edge only, and only one row at a time. If you select a column edge attribute, or if you select multiple rows, you will see the error, "Please select one and only one row."

1. In the pivot table, select a row that shows one value for an attribute.

Note:
In this example, the "HP" value for the Drive Manufacturer attribute is selected.

2. Click Apply Selection in the Pivot Table Toolbar.

The selected attribute value is displayed in a single graph pane.

Graph Aggregated Data From a Pivot Table

Note:
This procedure applies to Analysis screens only.

Use this procedure to graph aggregated data from a pivot table. This results in multiple graph panes in the Graphics Area: one for the aggregated totals and one each for the attribute values included in the totals.

Note:
You can graph attributes that appear on the row edge only, and only one row at a time. If you select a column edge attribute, or if you select multiple rows, you will see the error, "Please select one and only one row."

1. In the pivot table, select a layer that aggregates multiple attribute values.

Note:
In this example, the nesting layer is "Library Number", which aggregates data for two drive manufacturers: "HP" and "STK".

2. Click Apply Selection in the Pivot Table Toolbar.

The Graphics Area is updated as follows:

- The left-most pane shows the summary data for the attribute.

- The panes to the right show detail for each attribute included in the aggregation, one pane per attribute. In this example, there are two detail panes: one for "HP" and one for "STK".

4 Table Displays

Tables appear in the Main Window of the following types of screens:

- Dashboard

- Overview

- Analysis

This section describes the types of tables available and provides instructions for modifying their display. The following topics are discussed:

- Areas of the Main Window

- List View Tables

- Pivot Tables

- Best Practices for Table Displays

- List View Table Display Tasks

- Pivot Table Layout Tasks

- Table Data Export Tasks

Areas of the Main Window

All STA Overview and Analysis screens follow the same general structure and layout. The Main Window is divided into a Graphics Area at the top, and a Table Area at the bottom. The border between the two areas is marked by the Collapse Pane icon, which is always visible, and the Resize control bar, which appears when you move the mouse over the space between the two areas.

he Table Area consists of either a List View table or a pivot table. See the following sections for details:

- "List View Tables"

- "Pivot Tables"

List View Tables

List View tables appear on Overview screens. They display data in rows and columns, with one row for each library resource or event (drive or exchange, for example) and one column for each attribute of that resource.

You can change the display of a List View table by rearranging, sorting, and resizing the columns.

Some List View table cells contain text links. These links provide access to additional details about the selected item(s). See "Resource ID Links" for details.

Note:
Data in STA tables is display only; no modification is allowed.

See "List View Table Display Tasks" for details on how you can modify the display of these tables.

List View Table Annotations

Table annotations are available for List View tables on the Tape System Hardware and Tape System Activity tabs. They allow users with Operator or Administrator privileges to attach comments to selected records. Users with Viewer privileges can display annotations but not create or modify them. You can apply the same annotation to multiple records at once.

Annotations can be up to 250 characters in length. The information is displayed as ASCII text only—there are no formatting options, such as boldface or color. Also, spacing options, such as forced line feeds, are not preserved. See "Modify Table Annotations" for instructions.

Table annotations are not STA username-specific. Other STA usernames can view and modify annotations you have made.

The table List View shows only the most current annotation for each record, but STA retains a history of all annotation updates. To see a record's full annotation history, use the Detail View—the annotation updates are shown in reverse chronological order, stamped with the STA username and date and time of the change.

Pivot Tables

STA provides real-time advanced data manipulation through pivot tables. Pivot tables appear on Analysis screens, and they show data that is aggregated into different categories, or layers. Layers can be nested within one another along the table column and row edges. By adding and removing layers and nesting layers in different ways, you can break down the table data into different aggregations without the need to open multiple windows or export data to a spreadsheet. For example, you can use pivot tables to look at the health of drives, not just by library location, but also by drive type, firmware level, and many other attributes.

By aggregating data, pivot tables allow you to see data patterns that might not be obvious in a regular List View table. The format of a pivot table is dynamic in that you can change the way the data is organized simply by dragging and dropping—pivoting—the layers from one area to another. Moving a layer within the same edge (shifting layers within the row edge, for example) changes the nesting order. Moving a layer to the opposite edge (moving a layer from row to column edge, for example) adds the layer there.

See "Pivot Table Layout Tasks" for details on how you can modify their display.

Pivot Table Layers and Intrinsic Filters

Each layer in a pivot table represents filter criteria. Pivot tables can display from two to seven filter criteria. Two is the minimum because there must be one for each table edge.

Figure 4-1, is a sample pivot table from the Drives – Analysis screen. It shows the number of occurrences of each drive health indicator (ACTION, MONITOR, and so on), aggregated by drive manufacturer, library, and library complex. A detailed description of each layer follows.

Figure 4-1 Drives Pivot Table

- There is one column layer on the top edge of the table: Drive Health Indicator.

- There are three row layers on the left edge of the table: Library Complex, Library Number, and Drive Manufacturer. The layers are nested from left (outer) to right (inner). In this example, Library Complex is the outermost layer, and Drive Manufacturer is the innermost.

- Individual heading cells identify the different values for the layer attribute. The column layer, Drive Health Indicator, has the following values: ACTION, MONITOR, UNKNOWN, and USE; the outermost row layer, Library Complex Name, has the following values: A-SL8500, B-SL3000, and C-SL500.

- Counts are automatically subtotaled for each layer, which in this case are Drive Manufacturer Total, Library Number Total, and Library Complex Total.

The aggregate counts in each table cell are the result of the filter criteria intrinsic to each table layer, joined by "AND" statements. For example, in Figure 4-1, the table cell at the intersection of the A-SL8500, 1, STK row and MONITOR column has the aggregate count value "3". This value is the result of the following filter criteria:

- Library Complex Is A-SL8500, AND

- Library Number Is 1, AND

- Library Manufacturer Is STK, AND

- Drive Health Indicator Is MONITOR

The aggregate counts in each pivot table cell are active links. These links provide access to additional details about the items included in the count. For details, see "Aggregate Count Links" and the STA User's Guide.

Best Practices for Table Displays

This section provides tips for using the STA table displays and exporting data.

Exporting STA data

All the Overview screens allow you to export STA data in a variety of formats, including some that work with spreadsheet programs.

See Table Data Export Tasks.

Manipulating data

STA provides many built-in features for organizing, filtering, and manipulating data. Be sure to take advantage of these before exporting data. It will make any external work much easier.

List View Table Display Tasks

The following tasks provide instructions for modifying the display of List View tables. See "List View Tables" for a description of the features and benefits of List View tables.

- "Detach a Table"

- "Move a Column"

- "Change the Width of a Column"

- "Sort by a Column"

- "Sort by Multiple Columns"

- "Hide and Reveal Columns"

- "Display a Specific Table Page"

- "Display Detail for One or More Resources"

- "Modify Table Annotations"

- "Perform a Table "Quick Print""

- "Refresh the Table Display"

Detach a Table

Detaching a table separates it from the STA screen and displays it in a separate window in the browser foreground. Once you have detached a table, you can resize it and move it anywhere within the browser window.

1. Use either of the following methods to detach the table:

- By Mouse: Click the Detach icon in the Table Toolbar.

- By Menu: In the Table Toolbar, select View, then select Detach.

The table is displayed in a separate window in the screen foreground. The rest of the screen is dimmed in the background. The table title displays "Detached Table".

2. To restore the table to its normal position, use either of the following methods:

- By Mouse: Click Close in the Table Toolbar.

- By Menu: In the Table Toolbar, select View, then select Attach.

Move a Column

Use this procedure to reorder columns in a table.

Note:
The column on the far-left is fixed and therefore cannot be moved. When you move the mouse over the header of this column, the cursor changes to the Select fixed column cursor.

By mouse

1. Click in the heading of the column you want to move.
The entire column is highlighted, indicating it has been selected.

2. Click and drag the column heading; the cursor changes to the Move object cursor.

3. Once the column is close to the position you want, release the cursor.
The column snaps into place. You do not need to position it exactly.

By menu

1. In the Table Toolbar, select View, then select Reorder Columns.

The Reorder Columns dialog box appears. All revealed, movable columns are listed in their current order on the screen. Fixed and hidden columns are not listed.

2. In the list, select the columns you want to move. This dialog box supports Multi-select.

3. Click one of the arrows on the right side of the screen to move the items.

Arrows

Description

Move the selected item(s) up or down, one place at a time.

Move the selected item(s) to the top or bottom of the list.

Moving items up the list causes the columns to be moved to the left in the table display; moving them down the list causes the columns to be moved to the right.

4. Repeat this process until the Visible Columns list is arranged the way you want, and then click OK.

The columns are reordered according to your selections.

Change the Width of a Column

Use this procedure to adjust the width of a table column.

By mouse

1. Move the mouse over the right-hand border of the column heading until the Resize column cursor appears.

Note:
Columns are resized from the right side only.

Note:
You cannot resize a column from the data rows area.

Note:
In this example, the Drive WWNN column will be resized, and the width of the Drive Serial Number column will not change.

2. Click and drag the border, as follows:

- To make the column narrower, drag to the left.

- To make the column wider, drag to the right.
A dotted vertical line appears to indicate the pending width. You can move the border back and forth as much as you want until you get the right width.

- When the column is the width you want, release the cursor.
The column is resized. All other columns retain their original widths.

By menu

1. Right-click the heading of the column you want to resize, and select Resize Columns.

The Resize Column dialog box appears, displaying the current width of the column.

2. Complete the dialog box in either absolute or relative units.

- For absolute units, do the following:

1. In the menu, select Pixels.

2. In the Width field, enter the number of pixels for the new width.

Note:
You can also use the spinbox up-arrow and down-arrow to increase or decrease the value in the Width field.

- For relative units, do the following:

1. In the menu, select Percent.

2. In the Width field, enter the percent change you want to make to the current column width.

Note:
You can also use the spinbox up- and down-arrows to increase or decrease the value in the Width field.

This percentage will be multiplied by the current width to calculate the new width. For example: an entry of 200 doubles the current width; an entry of 25 reduces the current width to one-quarter of what it is now.

3. Verify the settings are the way you want, and then click OK.
The column is resized. All other columns retain their original widths.

Sort by a Column

Use this procedure to sort the table by a single column. To do a nested sort using multiple columns, see "Sort by Multiple Columns".

Note:
For screens that include a Page Number field (Exchanges, Drive Cleanings, and Messages), the sort applies only to the records displayed on the current page.

By mouse

Note:
This method can be used for all columns in the table but the first one. To change the sort order for the first column, you must use the menu method. See "By menu", below.

1. Move the mouse over the heading of the column you want to sort until the sort arrowheads appear.

2. Click either the Ascending or Descending arrowhead, depending on the order you want the data to be sorted. In this example, the Ascending arrow is selected.

The table data is resorted according to your selection, and the Sorted Column indicator highlights the sort order (ascending, in this example).

By menu

You can use this method for all columns in the table, including the first one.

1. Click in the heading of the column you want to sort.
The entire column is highlighted, indicating it has been selected.

2. Make the menu selection using either of the following methods:

- Right-click the column heading and select Sort, then Ascending, or Sort, then Descending.

- In the Table Toolbar, select View, then Sort, then Ascending, or select View, then Sort, then Descending.

3. The table data is resorted according to your selection, and the Sorted Column indicator highlights the sort order (descending, in this example).

Sort by Multiple Columns

Use this procedure to do a nested sort, using up to three columns.

Note:
For screens that include a Page Number field (Exchanges, Drive Cleanings, and Messages), the sort applies only to the records displayed on the current page.

Note:
This activity can only be done by menu, not by mouse.

1. Make the menu selection using either of the following methods:

- In the Table Toolbar, select View, then Sort, then Advanced.

- Right-click in any column heading and select Sort, then Advanced.

The Advanced Sort dialog box appears.

2. In the Sort By menu, select the column for the primary sort. If a default value has been supplied, you can override it.

3. Select either the Ascending or Descending options to indicate the sort order you want to use.

4. Repeat this process for the remaining fields on the screen to indicate the criteria for up to two additional nested sorts. Click OK.

The table data is sorted according to your selections, and the column headers indicate the sort criteria.

Hide and Reveal Columns

Use this procedure to change which columns are revealed in a table and which are hidden.

Note:
This task can done only by menu, not by mouse.

1. Display the table column list using either of the following methods:

- In the Table Toolbar, select View, then select Columns.

- Right-click any column heading and select Columns.

The menu displays a list of available columns in alphabetical order; up to 10 items are shown in this list. The columns currently included in the table are indicated by check marks.

2. To change the table display, do one of the following:

- Select Show All to add all columns to the table. See Step 7.

Note:
This will result in a very wide table.

- Select a column on the list to add it to the table, or deselect a column to remove it. See Step 7.

- Select Show More Columns to display the complete list of all columns available for the table. See Step 3.

3. The Show More Columns dialog box appears.

The Visible Columns list identifies the columns currently included in the table and their order. The Hidden Columns list identifies columns that are currently hidden; they are listed in the order defined in the current template.

4. Arrange the columns so that the ones you want to display are included in the Visible Columns list and the ones you want to remove are in the Hidden Columns list.

1. Select the columns you want to move from one list to the other. This dialog box supports Multi-select.

2. Click an arrow to move the items, as follows:

Arrows

Description

Move the selected item(s) to the indicated list.

Move all items from one list to the other.

3. Repeat this process until both lists include the items you want.

5. Optionally, you can reorder the items in the Visible Columns list by using the reorder arrows on the right side of the dialog box.
Moving items up the list causes the columns to be moved to the left in the table display; moving them down the list causes the columns to be moved to the right.

1. Select the items you want to move. This dialog box supports Multi-select.

2. Click an arrow to move the items, as follows:

Arrows

Description

Move the selected item(s) up or down, one place at a time.

Move the selected item(s) to the top or bottom of the list.

3. Repeat this process until the Visible Columns list is arranged the way you want.

6. Verify that the dialog box is arranged the way you want, and then click OK.

7. The table display is updated according to your selections.

Display a Specific Table Page

Use this procedure to go directly to a specific page on the Libraries – Messages, Drives – Messages, Media – Messages, Alerts Overview, Exchanges Overview, Drive Cleanings Overview, and All Messages Overview screens.

Because a large number of exchanges and alert messages can be generated in a short time, these screens can display many records. The records are therefore grouped into "pages"; each page consists of 1,000 records sorted as follows:

- Exchanges Overview and Drive Cleanings Overview screens — Reverse order of "Exchange Start" time (most recent exchanges first)

- Messages screens — Reverse order of "Date SNMP Trap Received" time (most recent traps first)

Note:
This activity can be done only by mouse, not by menu.

1. Move the cursor over the record count area on the right side of the Table Status line.
The cursor changes from the default pointer to a text pointer.

2. Click anywhere within the record count area.
A message appears indicating the total number of records in the table.

3. Click OK to dismiss the message.

4. In the Page Number field in the Table Toolbar, enter the page number you want to display and then press Enter.
The specified table page is displayed.

Note:
Each page but the last contains 1,000 records. Therefore, each page but the last indicates "Displaying 1,000 records" in the record count area of the Table Status Line. The examples below show pages 3 and 4 of a table containing 3,185 total records.

Display Detail for One or More Resources

Use this procedure to display detailed information for one or more resources.

1. Select the resource(s) you want to display, as follows:

- To display detail for just one resource, click the active link. Active links are indicated by blue text.

- To display detail for multiple resources, use Multi-select to select the rows the resources are in, and then click Detail View. (See "Multi-select" for details.)

Note:
To select a row, click in any column except one that contains an active link; if you click in a column with an active link, you will activate the link.

2. The Detail View screen appears.
If you have selected multiple resources, they are displayed, in order of ID. The ID is displayed in the header of each record. Use the scrollbar to see all the resources.

3. You can follow any active links on this screen to get to additional information.
On this screen, active links are indicated by underlined blue text. In this example, the Volume Serial Number and Exchange Start fields are active links.

See "Use Links to Navigate" for additional information.

4. To return to the List View table, click List View.

Modify Table Annotations

Note:
This procedure requires Operator privileges or above.

Use this procedure to add or change annotations for selected table records. You can annotate as many records at one time as you want. See "List View Table Annotations" for additional information about annotations.

1. Select the table rows for which you want to add or modify an annotation. To annotate multiple resources, use Multi-select to select the rows. (See "Multi-select" for details.)

Note:
To select a row, click in any column except one that contains an active link; if you click in a column with an active link, you will activate the link.

2. Click Add/Edit Annotation in the Table Toolbar.
The Add/Edit Annotation dialog box appears.

3. If you did not select any table records in the first step, the dialog box displays a message that any modifications you make will be applied to all displayed table records. If a filter has been applied to the table, the annotation applies only to the records that match the specified criteria, including records currently scrolled off the visible portion of the screen.

- To update all displayed records, select the check box to confirm.

- If you do not want to update all displayed records, click Cancel to dismiss the dialog box.

4. Complete the dialog box as follows:

- To add text to the annotation, type up to 250 characters in the text field, and then click Save Annotation.

- To clear all text in the annotation, click Clear Annotation.

- To cancel the annotation update, click Cancel.

The annotation is updated according to your selections.

Perform a Table "Quick Print"

Use this procedure to perform a "quick print" of currently displayed table data.

Note:
For the List View, this function provides just a snapshot of the current display in the table area; as such, only a subset of table records and columns may be included. To print a true rendering of all table data, it is recommended that you export the table data to a file and print from there. See "Export Table Data to a Spreadsheet or Document".

Note:
For the Detail View, this function includes all data in the table area.

Note:
Depending on the width of the display, you may need to specify landscape layout when you print.

1. Display the data that you want to print, as follows:

- To print data in the List View format, scroll to the area of the table that you want to print.

Note:
This step is necessary because the quick print function displays only a subset of table records, starting with the first row displayed on the screen.

- To print data in the Detail View format, select the library resources you want to print and click the Detail View icon. See "Display Detail for One or More Resources" for details.

2. Click Printable Table on the List View Table Toolbar.

A new tab is created in your browser window, showing the table data in a printable format.

3. You can use your browser's standard Print function to send this display to a printer.

Refresh the Table Display

Use this procedure to update the List View table display to show new records.

1. Click Refresh Table in the Table Toolbar.
The table display is updated with the latest data.

Pivot Table Layout Tasks

The following tasks provide instructions for modifying the layout of pivot tables to aggregate data in different ways. See "Pivot Tables" for a description of the features and benefits of pivot tables.

- "Display the Name of a Layer"

- "Change the Width of a Column or a Row Header"

- "Change the Height of a Row"

- "Display Detail for an Aggregate Count"

- "Select a Row Layer"

- "Shift Layers on the Same Edge"

- "Swap Layers on the Same Edge"

- "Move a Layer to the Opposite Edge"

- "Swap Layers on Opposite Edges"

- "Change Table Attributes and Their Nesting Order"

Display the Name of a Layer

Use this procedure to display the name of the attribute that is displayed in a pivot table layer.

1. Move the mouse over a row or column heading cell until the Select row or Select column cursor appears. See "Cursor Shapes" for details.
The name is displayed in the layer border, as follows:

- Column layer borders are directly to the left of the layer:

- Row layer borders are directly above the layer:

Note:
The name is truncated if the heading cell is not wide enough to display the entire name. To display the entire name, you can hover over the layer border until the tooltip appears.

Change the Width of a Column or a Row Header

Use this procedure to change the width of a column or a row layer header.

By mouse

1. Move the mouse over the right-hand border of the column or row header until the Resize column cursor appears.

Note:
Columns are resized from the right side only.

Note:
You cannot resize a column from the data rows area.

Note:
In this example, the Library Complex Name column will be resized, and the width of the Library Number column will not change.

2. Click and drag the border, as follows:

- To make the column narrower, drag to the left.

- To make the column wider, drag to the right.

A dotted vertical line appears to indicate the pending width. You can move the border back and forth as much as you want until you get the right width.

3. When the column is the width you want, release the cursor.
The column is resized. All other columns retain their original widths.

By menu

1. Position the cursor within the header of the column you want to resize, until the Select column or Select row cursor appears.

2. Right-click and select Width.

The Width dialog box appears, displaying the current width of the column.

3. In the Width field, enter the number of pixels for the new width.

Note:
You can also use the spinbox up- and down-arrows to increase or decrease the value in the Width field.

4. Verify the settings are the way you want, and then click OK.
The column is resized. All other columns retain their original widths.

Change the Height of a Row

Use this procedure to change the height of a row or a column layer header.

By mouse

1. Move the mouse over the lower border of the row or column header until the Resize row cursor appears.

Note:
You cannot resize a row from within the data area.

Note:
Rows are resized from the bottom only; therefore, in this example, the HP row will be resized, not the STK row.

2. Click and drag the border, as follows:

- To make the row taller, drag down.

- To make the row shorter, drag up.

A dotted horizontal line appears to indicate the pending height. You can move the border up and down as much as you want until you get the right height.

3. When the row is the height you want, release the cursor.

Change Table Attributes and Their Nesting Order

Use this procedure to change the attributes displayed in a pivot table. You can add and remove attributes in the table and change the order in which they are nested.

Note:
Pivot tables can include between two and seven attributes.

1. In the Pivot Table Toolbar, click Change Attributes.

The Change Attributes dialog box appears. The Selected Attributes list identifies the attributes currently included in the pivot table and their order. The Available Attributes list identifies attributes that are currently hidden.

2. Arrange the attributes so that the ones you want to display are included in the Selected Attributes list and the ones you want to remove are in the Available Attributes list.

Note:
The Selected Attributes list must include a minimum of two and a maximum of seven attributes.

1. Select the attributes you want to move from one list to the other. This dialog box supports Multi-select.

2. Click an arrow to move the items, as follows:

Arrows

Description

Move the selected item(s) to the indicated list.

Move all items from one list to the other.

3. Repeat this process until both lists include the items you want.

3. Optionally, you can reorder the items in the Selected Attributes list by using the reorder arrows on the right side of the dialog box.
By default, the last attribute in the Selected Attributes list appears on the column edge of the table. The other attribute(s) appear on the row edge, nested in the order they appear in the list; the top attribute is the outer layer.

1. Select the items you want to move. This dialog box supports Multi-select.

2. Click an arrow to move the items, as follows:

Arrows

Description

Move the selected item(s) up or down, one place at a time.

Move the selected item(s) to the top or bottom of the list.

3. Repeat this process until the Selected Attributes list is arranged the way you want.

4. Verify that the dialog box is arranged the way you want, and then click OK.
The pivot table is updated according to your selections.

Table Data Export Tasks

The following tasks provide instructions for exporting data from List View or pivot tables.

- "Export Table Data to a Spreadsheet or Document"

- "Display an Exported .xls File"

Export Table Data to a Spreadsheet or Document

Note:
This procedure applies to both pivot and List View tables.

Use this procedure to export an STA table to your local computer. You can save pivot table data as a .xls file, and List View tables as any of the following formats:

- XLS – The file is given a .xls extension, but the data is actually saved in HTML format. The file can be opened with either a browser or a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel. See "Display an Exported .xls File" for options on viewing and editing a file saved in this format.

- CSV – Comma Separated Values file, which can be opened with a variety of spreadsheet applications.

- PDF – Portable Document Format file, which can be opened with Adobe Reader.

Before performing this procedure you need to set up the table so it includes all the data you want to export. The exported data includes all resources and attributes included in the table, as follows:

- If you have applied a filter to the table, the spreadsheet includes only the records that match the criteria you have specified.

- Data records and attributes currently scrolled off the visible portion of the screen are included.

- Hidden attributes are not included.

1. Set up the table so it displays all the data you want to export.

Note:
This procedure uses a List View table, but you could also use a pivot table.

A filter is applied in this example.

2. Click Export in the Table Toolbar, and select the format to which you want to save the file.

Note:
For pivot tables, the only available format is .xls.

The file is downloaded to your computer according to your browser settings. See your browser documentation for details. Following is an example of a dialog box you might see on a computer running Windows, in which the file will be saved with a .xls extension.

Note:
If you are exporting a large amount of data, it may take several minutes to create the file. Depending on the selected export format and your browser settings, you may not receive any screen feedback while the file is being created.

3. If you exported to a .xls file, proceed to "Display an Exported .xls File" for instructions on viewing and editing the file.

Display an Exported .xls File

Use this procedure to view and optionally edit a .xls file you have created with "Export Table Data to a Spreadsheet or Document". The file is given a .xls extension, but the data is actually in HTML format. As a result, you can display the file using either of the following options:

- "Display the Spreadsheet With Excel"

- "Display the Spreadsheet in a Browser"

Display the Spreadsheet With Excel

Because the file is saved with a .xls extension, you can easily open it in Microsoft Excel and perform spreadsheet functions on the data.

1. Keep the .xls extension on the file, and open it in Excel or a compatible spreadsheet application.
An informational message is displayed. This message is normal, and it appears because the file is actually in HTML format.

2. Click Yes to open the file.
The file is displayed as an Excel spreadsheet. Depending on a variety of details, including the length of the numbers and the position of the data in the table, Excel may or may not convert some cells to scientific notation. This is an Excel formatting issue only and does not affect the integrity of the underlying data.

In the following example, the cells in the "Drive Serial Number" column are displayed in scientific notation.

3. To correct formatting issues with numeric data, perform the following steps:

1. Select the column header to highlight the entire column.

2. Right-click the column and select Format Cells.

3. In the Format Cells dialog box, select Number in the Category column.

4. In the Decimal places field, type "0".

5. Leave all other fields as is, and click OK to save the changes.
The cells are reformatted in standard notation.

4. See the Microsoft Excel documentation for information about the various functions you can perform on the data in the spreadsheet.

Display the Spreadsheet in a Browser

Because the file is in HTML format, you can display it in a browser window. Using this procedure, you can view and print the data, but you cannot modify it.

1. Change the .xls file extension to .htm or .html.

2. Open the file in your browser.
