Using view mode to monitor objects in the Tile view

When the Tile view is in view mode, you can monitor the event status of the objects and perform actions on those objects.

To turn on predict mode

Click Predict on the toolbar.

A graph, divided into increments, is displayed at the top of each tile, showing what the potential severity of the object will be and at what point in time that severity will be reached.
The prediction severity is displayed only if that severity is higher than the object's current severity. For example, if the object's severity is Minor, the prediction severity is displayed if it is predicted to change to Major. If the object's severity is Critical, the prediction severity is not displayed if it is predicted to change to Minor.

Note

You must select Show Predictive Events in the Operations tab of the Options window to display the Predict button on the Tile view. For information about setting this option, see Customizing-the-display-of-events.

Move the slider control in the toolbar to the left and right.
