Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

The following options are available with document mode:

• Orientation (portrait or landscape)
• Table or chart format
• Size (zoom level)

Table view

Document mode reports displayed in a table view contains several columns of information:

• One or more control columns represent qualitative information. For example, server name, save set name, and backup type. The control columns topics generally appear as X-axis data in charts.
• One or more data columns represent quantitative information. For example, Amount of data, number of files, number of save sets, and duration. The data columns topics generally appear as Y-axis data in charts. Each report gives subtotals and totals of all the columns of quantitative data that are shown in the report.

  For example, a report on Save Set Details by Client provides a list of clients and the following quantitative information:

  • Subtotals of the data columns for each of that client’s save sets.
  • Totals of all the data columns for each client.
  • Totals of the data for all clients in the report.

The report allows you to easily parse the data, visually, on a per-client basis, on a save set-per-client basis, and for all clients in the report.

Chart view

You cannot sort, rearrange, or resize the columns of a tabular report. Also, you cannot choose which columns to display, and the order in which to display the columns. Likewise, you cannot change the chart format while viewing a report. NetWorker software does not maintain any customized changes made while displaying a report in interactive mode (such as sorting or rearranging the columns in a table), except for charts (in Chart Type and Chart Selector). Instead, document mode displays the report in a standard table or chart format, as specified by the internal report definition within NetWorker software.

Unlike interactive mode, which provides you with a set of chart selection parameters that limit the displayed data, a report in document mode displays all the data. As a result, report views in document mode often consist of several screens. For this reason, the viewing choices in document mode include these navigation options to enable you to page through the output:

• First
• Previous
• Next
• Last
