Output - Record Range

Use the Record Range page of the View and Output Definition wizard to define the number of records you want to include.

The Record Range can also affect what you see when you click the Preview button in any of the View and Output Definition pages. The Preview option allows you to preview your progress and a maximum of 100 table rows are used for the preview. If you specify a Record Range, the Preview feature will use that starting row and range of rows, up to a maximum of 100 rows as input to the preview.

To specify the number of records to be included

1. Click the appropriate radio button. Your options are:
   • Include all rows
   • Include a defined number of rows, beginning with the first row
   • Include a defined range of rows.
2. Click OK to save your configuration or Next to continue to the next page of the View and Output Definition wizard.

   The following sample shows the Record Range page with the first ten rows specified and with the Create a separate report for each row option selected:

   

3. (Optional) You can specify you want a separate report created for each row by selecting the Create a separate report for each row option.

   When this option is selected a separate report is created for each row specified and the reports are published at the destinations specified in the Destination page.

   Each report file is given a unique name by adding a key value to its name. The syntax of the file name is given_name (key_value).file_extension. You can specify the given_name in the destinations dialogs, if no given_name is provided then the default is used. For example, the default file name for the APCDASD Storage Group PDF will appear as “POOLS Report (APCDASD).PDF”.

   With this option only reports with table, trend, or both components are produced, and only the following report destinations and formats are supported:

   • Print
   • File - PDF format
   • File - HTML format
   • FTP Server - PDF format
   • FTP Server - HTML format

   Note: Reports based on Light-Trend or Multi-Host views ignore this option.

   If either the destination or the format are not supported then the request is ignored. For example, requests for separate row reports for e-Mail, Web Publishing, Export into Excel and File (Raw Data) destinations are ignored, also requests for File - XML format, File - TXT format, and FTP Server - XLS format are ignored, and so on.

   This option has a significant effect on the report output, including the number of reports. For example, if you have specified 200 rows then 200 reports will be created. The Record Range page has a Click here for details link, if selected a window appears explaining this option further.

4. Click OK to save your settings.
