Standard Signal Views
A signal view is a predefined set of columns and sorting preferences. In addition, a signal view may contain a SQL expression to limit the rows that display in the table to product-event combinations that meet certain criteria.
The following table lists the set of standard, predefined signal views that are available for Signal Management. You can also create your own views. To see a list of available views, click the Add Tab button.
Tip:
If you have set the user preference for allowing SQL Where Clause for viewing signals, you can review the SQL statement used to select the rows for an added tab by selecting Columns on the Product-Event Combinations Header Action menu (![Header Action menu icon Header Action menu icon](img/224284.png)
By default, the standard signal views do not take the Filter flag into consideration. If you want to exclude suppressed combinations from a particular view, create a new view from the existing view and put parentheses around the existing SQL Where Clause and add the following:
and (FILTER is NULL or FILTER='NO')
For example, if you want the DME Alert view to exclude suppressed combinations,
select the DME tab, select Save as View
from the Header Action menu ( ), add the new tab using the Add Tab menu, and
change its SQL Where Clause from
DME_ALERT is not NULL
to
(DME_ALERT is not NULL) and (FILTER is NULL or FILTER='NO')
The standard signal views are organized into two categories:
- Product Alerts
- Supplemental Views
The Product Alerts category includes the following for each review period (1Month shown here). These represent the user-accessible alert type views.
