Global Criteria applies to all data views (set to use Global Criteria) within a Dashboard tool. The Global Criteria form in the left navigation pane sets "defaults" for date, computer, and user selections, and allows you to make quick adjustments.
Applies
to all reports, charts, and forms using Global Criteria.
If you change the Global Criteria, you change ALL data forms within
the tool that use Global Criteria. Most
forms in the Dashboard are initially set to <Use
Global Criteria Settings> for Date, Computers, and Users. For
example, you can change all Quick View chart dates the Last
90 Days to This Year.
Set
different Global Criteria for each tool.
Each tool has its own Global Criteria settings. Changes to Global Criteria
in Quick View do not affect the Global Criteria in Data Explorer. Once
you Apply any Global Criteria
settings, they are maintained for your Dashboard Login until you change
them.
It's
easy to override Global Criteria settings.
Override the Global Criteria simply by changing the General
Criteria for a specific chart, report, or form.
To set the Global Criteria:
Open the Global Criteria form.
Click the Global Criteria arrow (circled below) on the navigation pane
to open the criteria form, if necessary.
Global Criteria includes three settings: Date/Time, Computers, and
Users.
Set a time period.
In the top selection box, select a time period from the drop-down list.
See Date Criteria. Previous
Month has been selected in the illustration above, setting the
global (default) time period to last month's recorded data.
Select computers.
In the center box ("All Computers" above), use the drop-down
list to select computers or computer groups to include or exclude from
views. See Viewing by Computer.
Two computers are now excluded
Select users.
In the bottom box ("All Users" above), use the drop-down
list to select users or user groups to include or exclude from views.
See Viewing by User.
Note: Global Criteria has no User selection while User Explorer is open, because in User Explorer you are already viewing data for a single user. See User Criteria.
Only
three users are included
Click Apply
to set the new Global Criteria.
Quick View charts will automatically refresh, and data in the Events
windows will refresh when you go to them. Click Cancel
to return to the previous default settings.

Set your most commonly used Date, Computer and/or User selections as Global Criteria, so that you will not have to set these criteria each time you open a chart, report, or data form. |
