2.5.3.1 Common Report Elements

This section describes elements common to all VSM analysis
reports.  Options that are unique to a specific report are
documented with that report.

TITLE ELEMENTS

Each report has five lines of title information available.
All reports give the name of the report, the name of the
component, and the run date.  Additional headings detail the
data selected, the summary level of the report, and the time
periods reported by column.  For the monthly report, the
column title is month/year; for the weekly report, the first
day of the week is given; for the daily report, the date is
given as month/day/year; for the detail report, the column
title is time interval-day.  For the hourly level, the hour
is given as the column title and the day of the month is
given in the report title.

The following elements are in the standard title portion of
each report:

Installation  On some reports, the installation name that is
Name:         defined at CA MICS installation time.  This
              value is centered in the first line of the
              report.  For more information about this value,
              consult your CA MICS System Administrator.

Name:         in the first or second line of each page.

System:       from multiple systems cannot be combined using
              standard control parameters.

ZONE:         If data is being reported by zone, the zone
              number is shown.

RUNDATE:      The date the report was run.


ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS

Reporting     The first row of some reports shows the date
Interval:     or date/time combination of the period being
              reported.  If the date being reported on is
              from the WEEKS timespan, the date reflects the
              starting date of the week, as derived from the
              CA MICS variable STARTTS. In all other cases,
              the date reflects the ending date, derived from
              the CA MICS variable ENDTS.  In monthly
              reports, only the year and month portions of
              the date are displayed.

% CHANGE:     The last column on some reports shows the
              percent change for each report item (row)
              between the base period (first data column) and
              the last period (last data column).  If data
              for only one period is reported, then dashes
              (---) are displayed.  If the base period is
              zero, then N/A is printed to indicate that a
              percent change could not be calculated.
