HP Storage Essentials Storage Resource Management Report Optimizer Software 6.0 Building Reports Using the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel (August 2008)

Using alerters to highlight key results270

If the cell(s) on which you want to create an alerter, contains date or numeric type data

(for example, a date or a calculation) you need to select an object or variable instead

of Cell contents. This is because, Web Intelligence considers any value you type into

the Operand(s) text box as a character string. (For information on how to specify the

operand, see step

2.)

1. Click the arrow to the right of the Operator drop-down list box and select an operator

from the list.

For example, if you want to highlight results equal to or greater than a specific figure,

select the operator Greater than or equal to.

The same operators are available for alerters as for report filters. To see a full

description and example of each operator, see ”Which operator should I choose?” on

page 242.

2. Specify the value or object appropriate for the operand.

(If the Operand(s) text box is grayed out and displays the name of an object, you

need to remove this first by clicking the ... button to the right of the text box and

selecting Empty.)

How you define the operand depends on whether you base the alerter on cell contents

or on a measure or dimension object:

If the “Filtered object or cell” text

box displays...

Then...

Cell contents, • Either type a value into the

Operand(s) text box.

Click the ... button to the right

of the Operand(s) text box,

then select an object or

variable from the list and click

OK.
