The Date Selector

The Date Selector allows you to generate a report for only a specific date and time range. Use the right and left quick-link arrows to move backward and forward in time, a day at a time. Clicking the time field on the Date Selector brings up a pull-down menu that allows you to customize your time and date ranges.

Setting a Date or Date Range

By default, summary reports display only information for a single date. However, by using the Time Selector pull-down menu, you can fine-tune the time, date, or range of times and dates you want to see. Over-time reports display information over a date range.

The Time Selector allows you to specify any time or date interval desired, whether by day, or in hour/minute intervals. To select a single date for a report, either use the Date Selector bar and the left and right arrows to page through reports by date, or click on the displayed date field in the Time Selector to display the pull-down schedule menu.

You can select from:

•	Last 1 hour

•	Last 6 hours

•	Last 12 hours

•	Today - 00:00 to 23:59

•	Yesterday - 00:00 to 23:59

•	Last Week - the previous 7 days, from 00:00 to 23:59

•	Custom - a custom time and date range

In the pull-down schedule menu, you can specify a recent time snapshot, or click on Custom to select the starting and ending dates and times. The Custom option allows you to select a specific time and date or range from the Interval menu.

1	To set up a custom time range, click in the Time Selector Bar. The Interval pull-down menu appears.

In the Interval menu, you can either set the date manually or by using the pull-down calendar. In the calendar, you can set the month by clicking the desired dates. If no data is available for a specific date, that date is not available (grayed out).

 

2	Set a specific start and ending time by specifying hours and minutes you want to monitor. The default for a date is an interval starting at hour 0 minute 0 (midnight) and ending at 23:59 (11:59 PM).

The Interval menu also lets you set how many lines of information appears in the graph view. Click the date, and when the Interval pull-down appears, specify the number of rows. Select 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 from the Rows pull-down list to limit the display to a the specified number of lines, for easier viewing.

4	Click OK to generate the report.
