Chapter 1 Overview
Navigating the User Interface
Interactive Report
On most Monitoring and Analyze screens, you can use the Interactive Report on the left side of the
screen to view and change the parameters of the information displayed in the charts. You can redefine
the parameters by clicking the Filter button on the left side of the Interactive Report.
The reporting time interval selection changes depending upon the dashboard you are viewing, and the
NAM platform you are using. The NAM supports up to five saved Interactive Reports.
Chart View / Grid View
Most of the data presented by the NAM can be viewed as either a Chart or a Grid. The Chart view
presents an overview of the data in an integrated manner, and can show you trending information. The
Grid view can be used to see more precise data. For example, to get the exact value of data in graphical
view, you would need to hover over a data point in the Chart to get the data, whereas the same data is
easily visible in table format using Grid view. To toggle between the two views, use the Chart and Grid
icons at the bottom of the panel:
Next to that icon is the “Show as Image” icon, with which you save the chart you are viewing as a PNG
file.
