Defining qualifications for a report

If you want to further refine the data that appears in a specific report, you can define qualifications that are used to search for matching data when generating your report. You define these in the qualifications field of the reports form; up to a maximum of five qualifications at a time.

To define qualifications for a report

1. Log on to the Service Level Management Console.
2. Click Reporting to access the Report Console.
3. From the Report Name list, select the report you want to generate.
   The reports described here are those available for the Service Level Management application.
4. In the Define Report Qualification area, select your qualifications from the list, for example, Status = Deployed.
   This is optional. Adding qualifications reduces the number of records retrieved when you run a report.
   1. From the Field 1 list, select a field for which you want to generate reports.
   2. Select a qualifier from the Operand list.
   3. Type the value for which you want to qualify your report in the Value field.

   4. Repeat these steps for other fields.
