About reports Viewing reports and logs
Plot area
The plot area is where data visualization occurs. Reports can display either a single-pane or dual-pane layout. In a dual-
pane layout, both panes remain synchronized with respect to the x-axis. Each pane is capable of having two y-axes (a
primary on the left and a secondary on the right).
The reports present the majority of data series as simple line series graphs, but some reports display area series graphs
where appropriate. The types of area series graphs are:

Layered series , which appear on top of each other. These are identified by transparent colors.

Stacked area series , which appear on top of each other in the y direction. The AltaVault uses stacked area graphs
to depict an aggregate broken down by its constituent parts. In this type of graph, each series is a mutually
exclusive partition of some aggregate data set, identified by opaque colors. A stacked series is appropriate when
the sum of all the series is meaningful.
The report format enables you to hover over individual data points to view the detailed information.
To view the timestamp and value of each data series at that time

Place the mouse pointer over the plot area.
A tool tip displays the timestamp and the value of each data series at that time. The plot area colors the series names
appropriately and the data values have their associated units.
The plot area also displays subtle shading to denote work hours (white background) and nonwork hours (gray
background). The AltaVault defines work hours as 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays are not configurable.
To pan the plot area
1. Place the mouse pointer over the plot area, and then click and hold the left mouse button.
2. Move the mouse left or right to slide the window of visible data left or right.
The navigator reflects the changing chart window as do the associated controls in the control panel.
Navigator
Directly above the scroll bar is the navigator, which shows a much smaller and simpler display of the data in the plot
area. The navigator displays only one data series.
Use the navigator to navigate the entire range of chart data. The scroll bar at the bottom displays which portion of the
total data range is currently displayed in the plot area.
The navigator display can appear very different than the plot area display when an interesting or eye-catching series
in the plot area is not the series in the navigator.
To resize the current chart window

Move the handles on either side of the chart window in the navigator.
The charts have a minimum chart window size (currently five minutes), so if you try to resize the chart window to
something smaller, the chart window springs back to the minimum size.
You can also click the data display portion of the navigator (not the scroll bar) and the chart window moves to wherever
you clicked.
