Report Range Properties - General

Provides a way to specify a report range and navigate forward and backward through time based on the interval or range specified. By default, five buttons are shown: a select begin date button, backward button, play button, forward button, and live button.

See Reports in RTMC.

NOTE: When viewing a report using the CSI Web Server, user interaction is allowed. Therefore, you will be able to use the buttons to navigate backward and forward through time.

Report Type

There are two types of reports: interval based or custom range based.

Interval

Interval based reports let you specify Interval ranges in terms of years, months, days, hours, minutes, or seconds along with an offset into the interval. The interval option is most powerful when dealing with variable length intervals. For example, a 1 month interval starting on the 15th day will let you view data from the 15th of the current month to the 15th of the next month regardless of how many days are in the month. By default, interval based reports display as much data as they can into the current interval.

Offset/Start at/Starting On/Starting In

The name of this field changes according to what type of interval (e.g., minutes, days, etc.) you have chosen. This field specifies where each interval will begin. For example, for hourly intervals with Offset at 15 minutes, your hourly intervals will begin at 15 minutes past the top of the hour.  For weekly intervals with Starting On set to Monday, your weekly intervals will begin on Monday.

Custom Range

Custom range reports let you specify an exact range for a report based on a Start Date and End Date. The custom range defines a fixed interval that will be used when navigating. The custom range will always be displayed by default when viewing this report.

Background Properties

Displays a dialog box from which you can select the background color (solid color, gradient, or transparent), border, and edge.
