Tree panes are representations of hierarchal structures of data. In WebSphere® Business Monitor Dashboards, a Tree pane basically allows a user to configure and edit the data settings in the Dashboard view. Some Tree panes are just used to display information.
Tree panes in the dashboard views of WebSphere Business Monitor represent various types of data such as business measures models, business measures groups, business measures, organizational structure, and others. Each Tree pane has its own content that is sorted in the form of a hierarchy. Parent folders are expanded to show child folders till one or more leaf nodes (last level) are displayed in the tree.
Tree panes are used to configure the dashboard views. Usually more than one Tree pane exist in a dashboard view. In this case a data population relation is created between the Tree panes. A selection in a parent Tree pane populates the contents of the adjacent Tree pane. When you click a leaf node in the parent Tree pane, its associated data show up in the adjacent Tree pane.
Tree panes are used in the configuration of the following views: Active Instances, Reports, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Gauges, Process Diagrams, Scorecards, and Export Values.
Example: In the Gauges view, you will find two Tree panes: the first is for the Business Measures Model tree and the second is for the KPIs tree. Each time you select a different leaf node in the Business Measures Model tree, the contents of the KPIs tree changes.
Other views use the Tree panes only to display information and not to configure the view itself. For example, the Organizations view uses the Organization tree to display the organizational structure as retrieved from the user registry. Also, the Alerts view uses the Situation Event tree to display the details of the Common Base Event that is attached to the situation event.
There are other views that do not use a Tree pane in configuring their data such as the Dimensions view. This view uses a list named Available dimensions to configure its data.
