Exception summary reports

Once you scan a database for exceptions, Visualizer stores the information in table format. The first table is the Exception Summary for <date> report. From this dialog box you can view:

• Exception summary reports for all components
• All detail reports
• Specific component detail reports
• The most recent exceptions
• A history of exceptions

This report organizes the information on all the exceptions in your database by component type. The report lists the individual components, their threshold values, and the number of intervals during which the component exceeded the threshold.

1. Select a database and scan it for exceptions, if you haven't already done so (see Scanning-a-database-for-exceptions).
2. Select Graphics > Exception to open the Exception Summary for <date> dialog box. 
   Visualizer summarizes exceptions for each component type you selected while specifying exception values. The date or date range is specified in the title of the Exception Summary.
3. Select from the following options:
   • Show Summary For —Displays summary reports by component types. The component type available depends upon whether there are any exceptions for that type.
   • Show all detail reports —Display exception detail reports for all component types.
   • Show only component detail report —Display a detail report for the component specified in the 
   • Show Summary For box.
   • Use start time from exception history to show detail report —Show detail reports for the most recent reports based on the dates in the History report.
4. Click one of the following:
   • Detail Report button —View the detail report specified by your choice of Exception Summary for <date> options.
   • History button —View the history report for historical perspective on your database. This is active only if there is information in your database that predates the day that you're currently examining.
   • Close —Close the window without taking additional action.
   • Help —Display the online help for this window.
