Appendix D : Options Button

The Options button appears in the menu bar below the navigation tabs on each reporting screen where charts may be shown. The Option button allows you to set Base Options (AutoRefresh and Refresh Interval) and/or set Change Graph options (change the look and feel of graphs), depending upon the function you are using. When both of these options are available, the Options main page appears.

Do one of the following from the Options main page:

· Click Base Options to set AutoRefresh/Refresh Interval options or filter data displayed for some types of reports.

  Click Generate Images to print or save a graph image.

· Click Change Graph to change the look and feel of the graphs in various ways, including: graph type, colors, titles, or legends.

· Click Cancel to return to the previous screen without making any changes.

Base Options

When you select Base Options from the Options main page, you can set AutoRefresh parameters and save them as the default, or cancel.

When you use Base Options from StackView, you can also select which ports you would like to monitor (those for predefined address spaces or those currently in use).

When you use Base Options from the Top Clients History Report, the Base Option buttons allows you to eliminate the viewing of the Loopback (127.0.01) and UDP (255.255.255.255) addresses from the reports.
