5.3.1.1 Sample Resolution

The Sample resolution control enables you to select from one of three resolutions corresponding to the tables that are maintained in the database (see Table 5-1). The samples can be retained for a different lengths of time for each resolution (see Editing Sampling Policies on page 7.4 for instructions on altering the default sampling policies).

Since a different set of objects may be present in data tables for different resolutions, the generated report menu is populated with the objects present in the tables for the selected resolution.
