To change the date timespan or data granularity

You can change the timespan or data granularity of a chart either from the parent view or by clicking the Modify Report View.

   The Modify Report View pane opens.

   Complete the fields as follows:

   Option	Description
   Data Granularity	Select the type of data that is available in this view. The Data Granularity field provides you with a measured granularity of the data being compared. You can select one of the following options: Measured—Selects the measured data for the specified intervals Measured as Hourly—Aggregates the measured data into hourly intervals Warning Important This option is displayed in the list only if the measured data has an interval length of less than an hour for example, 15-minute intervals.  Measured as Daily—Aggregates the measured data into daily intervals  Measured as Weekly—Aggregates the measured data into weekly intervals Measured as Monthly—Aggregates the measured data into monthly intervals Measured as OneSpan—Aggregates the entire date span selection including any time span, into a single average value for each object-metric. For example, you can use this option to see the biggest resource consumers over several days or weeks. When you select one of the Measured as data granularity options, the Time range field is displayed.  Warning Important The Time range field is not displayed for the Measured option. In the Time range field, you can select start and end times in the day to further restrict the aggregation to: Include only specific hours of the day by selecting an end time later than the start time. For example, selecting 0800 A.M. to 0400 P.M. in the Time Range field will aggregate only those 8 hours of measurements each day. Exclude hours of the day by selecting an end time earlier than the start time. For example, if you select 0400 P.M. to 0800 A.M. in the Time Range field, only the hours from 0000 A.M. to 0800 A.M. and 0400 P.M. to 1159 P.M. are aggregated for each selected day, effectively excluding the hours of 0800 A.M. to 0400 P.M.
