Configuring Properties

Before generating a report, you can modify the values of the report instance properties. The new values are saved and applied the next time the report is generated.

You can also modify the values of chart display properties. For chart display properties, the value is applied at once.

Types of properties include:

No Value—When no value is assigned, (not set) is displayed. Mandatory properties that have no default value display as

(not set).

Free Text—You can enter any text string.

Boolean—The value toggles between True and False.

Date—Click the

icon to open a Choose Date and Time dialog box.

Single Choice—Click the

icon to open a drop-down menu.

Note If there are less than five items in the list, a drop-down menu appears. If there are five or more items, a list box appears.

Multiple Choice—Click the

icon to open a dialog box where more than one value can be checked.

The icons of the Multiple Choice dialog box are described in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1 Multiple Choice Dialog Box Options
Icon	Option	Description
	Select All	Select all values.
	Invert Selection	Uncheck the checked boxes and check the unchecked.
	Select None	Uncheck all boxes.
	Search	Search the selected items.
	Cancel	Exit the Multiple Choice dialog box without saving.
	OK	Save and exit the Multiple Choice dialog box.

Note Some properties are mutually exclusive. The properties From the last number of hours and Starting after date and time cannot both be implemented, even if both are selected.

Therefore, if you want to define the time frame to begin at a specified time, select Starting after date. Even if From the last number of hours is also chosen, the report time frame will be according to the date and time values.
