2. Check the Show Attribute in Grid check box, or double-click the first column of
the selected attribute.
Show Attribute in Graph Check Box
To display or suppress an attribute in the graph portion of Graph and Browse windows:
1. Select the attribute from the Attribute property sheet.
2. Click the Show in Graph check box, or double-click the second column of the
selected attribute.
When an object's data attribute has its Show in Graph Check Box enabled, ASAP
analyzes the attribute and assigns a state to the attribute.
When the Show in Graph property of an attribute is enabled, the attribute state
appears in the form of color-coded graph elements and in annotated-state icons in the
OIL, OEM, and data grids.
The rule used to determine the state of a data attribute is based on the State
Determination setting for the attribute. For more information, see State Determination,
below.
When an object’s time attribute has its Show in Graph Check Box and Use Thresholds
options selected, ASAP performs a series of automatic timestamp checks to ensure
that the time has a reasonable value. If the time is not reasonable, ASAP raises the
state of the time to an alert level.
To disable Late Data time checks for all entities, select the No Check option of the Late
Data Integrity Check drop-down menu in the OSC Property Sheet. For example, to
disable Late Time time checking for a specific entity, uncheck Show in Graph for its
Time property from the Attribute property sheet. To disable Late Data time checks for
all entities, select the No Check option from the OSC Property Sheet.
Graph-Max Field
When an attribute has its Show in Graph property set, you can specify the Graph-Max
normalization value for that attribute. The Graph-Max field is the unlabeled field
immediately to the right of the Show in Graph check box. This value determines the
maximum graph amplitude or normalization value for the attribute.
For example, if the attribute Queue has a Graph-Max value of 10, and the value of the
Queue attribute is 5, the Queue value appears in the graph at one-half of the maximum
graph height.
Graph-Max values are used when the Graph Percent check box is selected on the
Graph property sheet.
