Customize Your Tabular View

You can customize the tabular view (contents and order of appearance) 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: This procedure applies to various modules, for example, Alerts and Investigator. Continue with Step 2 to customize the Alerts module.

Follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Investigator or configure the Alerts module.

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

  2. Click the Customize Your Tabular Data View (WrenchIcon) icon on the toolbar.

    The Select and Reorder Columns dialog appears.

  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 the right arrow to add the selected column to the current view.

    The selected column appears in the Selected Columns list, for example, System ID. If a related object also shares this column then the related object name prefixes this column name, for example, Systems: System ID.

    Note: The left arrow and the cross button move the selected column back to Available Columns.

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

  6. (Optional) Use the up and down arrow buttons to rearrange the column order.
  7. (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.
  8. Click Save.

    Your column settings are saved for this view.
