Update Date and Version Criteria

In CA OM Web Viewer, you can search for reports based on either creation date or version. This section explains how to set or modify the defaults for Date and Version Criteria.

Note: For these defaults to override Repository level settings, select Restore Filter Settings with These User Settings After Login.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Configuration Tab, click the Repository Filter link in the left pane.

   The Repository Filter pane appears.

2. Click the Repository Filter link in the menu on the left side.
3. Click the Date & Version Criteria Tab.
4. (Optional) Select Creation Date to set the default search range for reports by the reports' archive dates.

   Do one of the following to specify search criteria:

   • Select the Creation Date and specify a value for the Days Ago default search criteria.

     Enter a number of days you want to include. For example, 50 days would show the last 50 calendar days worth of reports.

     Note: These reports do not include reports archived in the current day if the report was archived in a time zone that time stamped the report's date of the archive of the report a day forward from your current date.

   • Select Between and do the following:
     1. Set the Start Date in the first text box:

        Click the calendar button and select a date from the calendar pop-up or enter a start date in the first text box.

     2. Set the End Date in the second text box.

        Click the calendar button and select a date from the calendar pop-up or enter a start date in the second text box.

5. (Optional) You can search for various versions of a report.

   Select one of the following options to set defaults for Versions :

   • All

     All versions of a report are shown but might not include offline-reports.

   • Latest

     Enter a number of versions to display.

     This option controls the number of versions of the report that are displayed by default. For example, if you select five, the most current five versions of the report are displayed. If you have less than five versions, all versions are displayed.

   • Range From

     All versions in this range are displayed, by default.

     • Enter a number for the first version of the report to be displayed.
     • Enter a number for the last version of the report to be displayed.
6. (Optional) Update your filter preferences according to your requirements.

   There are several generic filter settings that affect all the defaults described on this pane. These options apply to both Report Searches and Cross-Report Index searches.

   • Select Show Filter Settings

     Controls whether you want your current search criteria to be displayed on the Report Search and Cross-Report Index Search panes.

     If left clear, the Automatically Apply Filter settings is automatically selected.

     With Show Filter Settings left clear, the result is that all searches use your default settings from this pane, and you are not given the option to change filter criteria from the search pane--the search options are not even shown.

   • Select the Automatically Apply Filter Settings

     Specifies that the search is automatically run when you go the search pane.

     If you don’t automatically run the search, the search criteria must be shown at the search pane. (See Previous Step)

     If left clear, the Show Filter Setting and Restore Filter settings with these user settings options are automatically selected.

   • Restore Filter Settings with these User Settings

     Determines whether the settings on this pane are to override the Repository settings.

     If selected, these settings are used; if left clear, the default Repository settings are displayed as the search criteria.

7. Click Update in the upper right corner of the pane.

   The Date and Version default criteria are updated.
