Field Descriptions
4. Item Selection. Selection of displayed status items for deleting, adding, copying,
and configuring. To select more than one status item, type any nonblank character
in this field in front of each status item you want to select. Or, to select only one
item, position the cursor in this field in front of the status item you want, then use
the appropriate function key to operate on the selected items. (See function-key
descriptions for F6, F7, F10, and F12 later in this subsection.)
5. Item Description. Description of each status item as entered in the Item
Description field of the Status Item Configuration screen.
6. Percentage Graph. Graphical representation (using asterisks) of the current status
measurement for each status item as a percentage—either as a total (such as the
number of units up or down) or as a busy value (the unit is x% busy over a measured
period of time). Each group of eight asterisks represents 25% (or 3.125% per
asterisk).
7. Value. Exact measured value for each status item. It represents either a count of
units or a percentage busy value, depending on the particular kind of status item. If
threshold values have been set for a given item (see the description of the Status
Item Configuration screen later in this section) and if the value falls outside those
values, the display highlights the entire line in inverse video (or in color if you are
using a color monitor).
8. Total. Basis currently being used for computing the percentage values on the graph.
Typically, this value is the maximum configured number of units (for items that are
based on unit counts), or 100 for items that give percentage busy values. However,
the basis might have been deliberately set to some lesser value to provide better
resolution in cases where measured percentages are expected to be very low at all
times. (See the description of the Status Item Configuration screen later in this
section.)
