Select Index Values

You can use the indexes to go directly to specific sections of the report that you want to view.

Follow these steps:

1. Select a report from any of the following:
   • Reports tab
   • Advanced Search tab
   • Favorites

   If a Logical View has been set up, the Logical View drop-down list is displayed.

2. Select a Logical View from the Logical View Drop-down list.

   One of the following is displayed:

   • If index selections are required with this Logical View, an index selection pane is displayed in the left section of the page.
   • A report section is displayed in the bottom section of the page.

     If a report section is displayed instead of the index value selection pane that means this logical view has no indexes associated with it.

   The Index Value Selection pane is displayed.

3. (Optional) Do one of the following:
   1. Select the As Uppercase option button

      All the index values or values masks, such as R*, that you type, are converted to uppercase.

   2. Select the As Type option button.

      All the index values or values masks, such as R*, are retained in the same case as you typed them.

4. Find the Indexes table.

   The index name is listed next to a text box where you can enter a value or a value mask.

   In the case of a multiple part index, the Indexes table lists each index name with a text box next to it as a row of the table.

5. (Optional) Enter value mask in one or more of the index value text boxes.

   To enter the value mask for a particular index, find the value text box in the same row as that index.

   Note: A value mask is a partial value entry that uses a wildcard, such as 5?5 or T*. An asterisk wildcard matches zero or more characters; a question mark wildcard matches a single character. The default mask is a single asterisk, *.

6. Click Get Values (in the above table).

   A table of possible index values is displayed. Each possible value is displayed as a row of the table with a link.

   Note: If you are using multiple part indexes, each possible value is a combination of several index parts. For example, a value might look like: valueForIndex1:valueForIndex2:valueForIndex3.

   If you get a message, such as, There are no index values that match the above search criteria, try changing your values masks.

7. (Optional) Use navigation arrows to list other possible index values.
   • >> displays the last group of possible index values
   • > displays the next group of possible index values
   • < displays the previous group of possible index values
   • << displays the first group of possible index values

   Note: Arrows are displayed only if there is more than one group of values.

8. Click the link for the index value.

   The report section matching your index value selection is displayed in the bottom left side pane.

   You can browse this report section as you typically browse a mainframe test report. Additionally, you can perform various report actions on this report section.
