Event information is visible in table or chart format,
within the Related Event Details portlet.
About this task
A pivot event is an event that acts as a pivot around which
you can extrapolate related event occurrences, in relation to the
pivot event occurrence. To view the event distribution of a pivot
event, complete the following steps to switch from tabulated event
information to charted event information within the Related Event Details portlet.
Procedure
- Start the View Related Events portlet,
see Viewing current analytics configurations.
- Within the View Related Events portlet,
in the Events table select an event or in the Group table
select an event group, and right-click. A menu is displayed.
- From the menu, select Show Details and
a Related Event Details portlet
opens.
- Within the Related Event Details portlet,
in the Events tab, two tables are displayed.
- Event Group Instance Table: This table lists
each instance of the event group and the time at which the instance
occurred. The time of the group instance is set to the occurrence
time of the event that you selected.
- Events Table: This table lists the events
for a selected group instance.
- From the Events tab toolbar, select Timeline.
The event information displays in chart format.
For
information about understanding the timeline chart, see Understanding the timeline chart
Note: The timeline chart scale is displayed as seconds (s), minutes (m),
or hours (h). If many
timelines are displayed, users might need to scroll down to view all
of the timelines. The timeline chart scale is anchored in place at
the top of the Timeline view.
Results
The timeline chart shows the event distribution
for each event type in the group, relative to the pivot event. Each
comb in the timeline chart represents an event type and the teeth
represent the number of instances of the event type. The pivot event
is not represented by a comb, but the pivot event instance is always
at zero seconds, minutes, or hours. For a selected event group instance,
the highlighted tooth on each comb denotes the event type instance
relative to the pivot event, in seconds, minutes, or hours.
The
long summary labels under the combs in the timeline chart are truncated.
Move the mouse cursor over a truncated summary label to see the tooltip
that shows the full summary label.
What to do next
- If there are many event types to view, use the pagination function
in addition to scrolling. In the pagination toolbar, select the page
to view and the page size.
- If you want to change the pivot event, see Changing the pivot event.
- If you want to revert to the tabulated event information, select Events from
the Events tab toolbar.
