Customize Your Tabular View in the Investigator

You can customize the tabular view (contents and order of appearance) of the Investigator to suit your preferences. You can include related table columns to construct a more useful query and display the results. By customizing your data, you see data based on your site-specific needs. The customizations apply only to the view where you changed them. CA Chorus saves these changes so they appear each time you log in using the same user ID and password.

Note: Though these instructions are specific to the Investigator, continue with Step 2 to customize the Alerts module.

Follow these steps:

1. Launch the Investigator from the Investigator module, Alerts module, or Metrics panel.

   Note: If you are doing a new investigation, select an object from the Discipline pane to see its data in the Data pane.

2. Select the Customize Your Tabular Data View icon.

   The Select and Reorder Columns dialog opens.

3. Select an object from the Objects list.

   The available columns for the selected object appear.

4. Select an available column.

   The column description appears.

5. Click Add to add the column to the current view.

   The selected column is added to the All Selected Columns in the Current View box and appears with the object name as the prefix, for example, Systems: SystemID.

   Note: To rearrange the column order, use the arrow buttons. To delete a selected column from the current view, use the cross button.

   Note: To display the current health state of the objects in the Data pane, select the Status column.

6. (Optional) Select the column names from the Group By drop-down list to group the data based on the selected columns. This customization lets you see the count of data for the grouped columns in the Data pane. To expand or collapse the grouped data, click the arrow.
7. Click Save.

   Your column settings are saved for this view.
