Tree panes in the dashboard views

A dashboard view may have one or more Tree panes that can be used in to configure the view or to display information.

Business Measures Model tree

The following is an explanation of the Tree panes existing in WebSphere® Business Monitor dashboard views. One or more Tree panes can exist in one view.

The Business Measures Model tree displays a hierarchy of business measures models that were defined in the Business Measures editor and imported into WebSphere Business Monitor in a parent business measures model.

You should expand the folders of this tree till you see the sub-business measures models you want to monitor in your dashboard view.

For example, you imported the Order Process Project (parent business measures model) and the Check Credit Process, and Payment Handling Process (sub-business measures models).

Leaf nodes or sub-business measures models act as the source to populate data in other adjacent trees like the Business Measures Groups tree, the KPIs tree, or the Processes tree any other tree depending on the Dashboard view that your are configuring or editing.

The Business Measures Model tree is displayed in the following views: Active Instances, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Gauges, Scorecards, Process Diagrams, and Export Values.

The Business Measures Models Tree
Note: In the Export Values view, the sub-business measures models are represented by radio buttons. See the illustration below.

Business Measures Groups tree

The Business Measures Groups tree displays a hierarchy of business measures groups. Each business measures group is represented by a hyperlink. A business measures group is a container for one or more business measures that you want to monitor. There are two types of business measures groups: process and process aggregates. Each sub-business measure model in the Business Measures Model tree can display one or more business measure groups.

For example, the business measures model named Orders can contain two business measures groups: Order Processing , and Order Processing Aggregates. Each business measures group has its own set if business measures that is displayed in the Business Measures tree.

This Business Measures Groups tree is only displayed in the Active Instances view.

Business Measures tree

The Business Measures tree displays a list of all business measures that are contained within a business measures group. These business measures can be metrics, KPIs, counters and stopwatches.

This tree is displayed only in the Active Instances view. It is preceded by the Business Measures Groups tree and gets populated when a business measures group is selected.

The Business Measures tree

KPIs tree

The KPIs tree displays the hierarchy of the process aggregates. Process aggregates is one type of business measures groups designed to measure the performance of a process as a whole. The KPIs tree tree displays process aggregates and its KPIs.

For example, the business measures model that is named "Order Process", has a business measures group named "Order Processing Aggregates", which in turn has a set of one or more KPIs that were modeled in the Business Measures editor of the WebSphere Business Modeler.

This tree is always preceded by the Business Measures Model tree and gets populated by selecting a business measures model.

This tree is displayed in the following views: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Gauges, and Scorecards.

The KPIs tree

This tree is displayed only in the Reports view.
