7-3 Opening a SystemTrend View
Like SystemInsight views, SystemTrend views belong to domains and can be generic or unit-specific. Both types of
views need unit assignments in order to be displayed. In the Trend desktop window, the Available Views box lists
the SystemTrend views that are associated with a selected domain.
SystemTrend time references contain three values: a mode (profile or history), a report interval (day, month, or
year), and a time period. You can exclude specific days or times of a day from a time reference.

2. From the Domain Hierarchy box, select a domain.
3. Select a trend analysis view from the Available Views list. The metric contained in the trend analysis view
appears in the View Contents list.
4. Click on the Time Scale button to choose a time reference period. Alternatively, select a period from the
drop-down list.
5. Click on the Open button.
You have two possible results when you open a view:
• If units are already assigned to the view, the view opens in a new window and starts displaying data. If
the view is generic, and there is only one unit in the domain, the view opens and starts displaying data
for the single unit.
• If the view is generic, and there is more than one unit to select, the Unit Selection dialog box opens.
You must select units before displaying the view.
