About this task

Take these steps to add a table view to a workspace:

Procedure

  1. Open the workspace where you want to add the view.
  2. If you want the view to occupy a new space, click split vertically Split Vertically or split horizontally Split Horizontally in one of the views.
  3. Click tableTable.
    The mouse pointer changes to the view icon (hand icon on Linux). If you get the wrong icon or decide not to add the view, press Escape or click somewhere in the toolbar.
  4. Click inside the view where you want the table.
    If no data fills the table, you must choose a query for it.
  5. If a message asks you to select a query now, click Yes to open the Properties editor. Specify the data to include and the formatting of the table view:
    Option Description
    Query Select a query for the data to retrieve into the view. See Query.
    Filters Specify the attributes whose values you want to exclude or include in the table and, if you like, show only those values that fall within a range. See Filters.
    Thresholds Highlight cells that fall outside a threshold value. See Thresholds.
    Style Change and enhance the appearance of the table. See Style.

Results

The query collects data samplings from the managed systems that are assigned to the Navigator item and populates the view with them.

What to do next

To see the assigned managed systems, right-click the current Navigator item and click PropertiesProperties.

If the attribute group specified in the query has historical data collection enabled, you can specify a time period to show.

To keep the table view in this workspace for future work sessions, either click saveSave to update the workspace with the new view or click File > Save Workspace As to save this as a new workspace and leave the original workspace unchanged.
