4.5.1 Presentation Graphics Control Screen
To get to the Presentation Graphics Screen (shown in Figure
4-3) on your terminal, you must follow a short set of menus
which are more fully described in Section 1.5 of this guide.
The Presentation Graphics Screen appears after you indicate
that you want to graph history and forecasts for presentation
to management. Two fields on this screen are filled in on the
fourth line when you first see it: the inquiry name and the
inquiry description, separated by a dash. You entered these
two fields on the Insert Capacity Planning Analysis Screen
when you requested that a new inquiry be added.

Figure 4-3. Presentation Graphics Control Screen
Some of the parameters on the Presentation Graphics Screen
shown in Figure 4-3 are required, while others are optional.
The following is a discussion of the various parameters as
they appear in this figure.
Report The 60-character title field for the
Title: Presentation Graphics plot. No double quotes
(") or semicolons (;) may appear within the body
of the title.
Input file: The resource element, business element, or meta
Capacity Planning database file containing the
historical observations to be used as input to
the analysis. If you are uncertain of the files
or file names available in your Capacity
Planning database, type a question mark (?) in
the field and a selection list will be
displayed.
Start date: The start date for date range selection. If
the start date is specified, only historical
observations at least as recent as this value
are included in the analysis. The discussion
under No. months describes the options for
controlling the date range selection.
SYSID: The SYSID for which the report is produced.
If the Capacity Planning database file was
defined as having a composite SYSID, this value
is automatically supplied on the screen.
Zone: The Zone, Hour, or Dayname to be included in the
analysis, depending on whether you defined the
Capacity Planning database file at the Zone,
Hour, or Dayname secondary summarization level.
If you defined the file as having a composite
Zone, Hour, or Dayname this value is supplied
automatically on the screen. Note that the
field name will be changed automatically to
either Zone, Hour, or Dayname once you specify
the input file to reflect the input file
summarization level.
No. months: The maximum number of days, weeks, or months of
historical observations that will be included in
the analysis. Note that once you specify the
input file, the field name will change to
reflect the time-span of the Input file. When
used in conjunction with the Start date
parameter, several options are available for
date range selection control:
o If you specify only Start date, all
historical observations at least as recent as
the value specified for Start date will be
selected.
o If you specify both Start date and No.
months, the date range for data selection
begins with the value specified for Start
date and extends for the specified number of
days, weeks, or months.
o If you specify only No. months, the date
range for data selection will include only
this number of the most recent days, weeks,
or months.
o If you specify neither parameter, then all
historical observations will be selected.
Specify Put a Y in this field to specify the CAPAPU
CAPAPU value(s) to be included in the analysis. The
values: CAPAPU value is specified on the CAPAPU
Selection Values screen, shown in Figure 4-4,
that appears if you enter a Y in this field.
You may specify it only if the Capacity Planning
database file is defined as containing the
CAPAPU data element.
Data The input file data element that is to be
element: plotted. If you are uncertain as to the
correct name of the data elements on the input
file, type a question mark (?) in this field and
a selection list of available data elements will
be presented.
Previous The specific previous forecast to be plotted.
forecast Note that in addition to the previous forecast,
date: the current forecast (the one corresponding to
the most recent historical observation to be
plotted) is plotted automatically.
Y-Axis The 30-character label for the Y-axis for the
label: Presentation Graphics plot. No double quotes
(") or semicolons (;) may appear within the body
of the label.
Plot type: The specification for the type of plot. You may
specify COLOR for a color graphics plot or
PRINTER for a line printer plot. Printer
graphics are always available, however SAS/GRAPH
is a prerequisite for color graphics.
Include Include any user forecasts generated for this
Worksheets: data element through the use of the Capacity
Planner Worksheet Facility. If present, this
will produce an additional line on the output
generated by Presentation Graphics.
Specify A Y in this field displays the Extended Options
extended Menu screen, shown in Figure 4-5.
options:
If you entered a Y in the Specify CAPAPU values field on the
Presentation Graphics Control Screen, the CAPAPU Selection
Values screen displays, as shown in Figure 4-4. On the CAPAPU
Selection Values screen, you may specify the CAPAPU values
(up to nine) to be included in the analysis. You may specify
CAPAPUs only if the Capacity Planning database file is
defined as containing the CAPAPU data elements. (Note that
Presentation Graphics does not support wild cards.)
