enable blocks of variables. Use the Paginate button (paper sheet icon) to enable all variables or just
the first page (eight variables). Use the Prev Page and Next Page buttons to enable the previous or
next page of variables.
Graph Legend Control
The Legend Control displays all variable names and a data summary, including the Current,
Minimum, Maximum, and Average values.

Saving Long-term Statistics
ProSafe NMS Trend Reports save long term statistics for any SNMP table and also ProSafe NMS
Service Polling pseudo-tables. Each report saves data for one table and up to 10 devices. You can
set manual threshold alarms for any variable instance to generate an event when a variable reaches
a specific value. Data is saved in a private format database at one or more polling agent systems.
Data can be downloaded and viewed in a regular graph window for a specified date period.
Creating a New Report
1. Select one or more device objects using the Map Selection Tree or a Map View window.
2. Locate the Selection Tool at the left of the console. If you do not see the Selection Tool, use
the View/Selection Tool menu to show it.
