3.1 Derivation Templates

Derivation templates are one-to-many templates that let you derive multiple reports from a single template. The default report that generates when you run the template displays all the contexts (data series) applicable for the template as headers in the table view. To derive a new report from the template, manipulate the presentation of the data series in the default report.

For example: Aggregate Template is a Derivation template that you can use to derive reports displaying AppManager data in the following combinations:

  • Knowledge Script on X-axis and Machines on Y-axis or vice-versa.

  • Knowledge Script on X-axis and Measure on Y-axis or vice-versa.

  • Machine on X-axis and Measure on Y-axis or vice-versa.

For more information about deriving new reports from a Derivation template, see Section 3.1.1, Deriving New Reports From Derivation Template.

3.1.1 Deriving New Reports From Derivation Template

  1. In Reporting Console, select the template from which you want to derive the report.

  2. Click Run Report.

  3. Manipulate the report data presentation:

    1. In the Data Presentation option, select Cross Bound.

    2. In the Grouping Data Series option, select the data series by which you want to group the data on Y-axis.

    3. In the X-Axis Data Series option, select the data series that you want to display on X-axis.

    4. In Data Data Series option, select AggregateDateSource1, which provides the aggregate value of all the AppManager Data Sources.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Click the Report > Save Template As Report option and save the report.

  6. (Conditional) To derive multiple reports from the template, repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for every new report you want to derive.

3.1.2 Types of Derivation Templates

The following sections list the templates that you can use to derive multiple reports. For information about deriving reports from a Derivation template, see Section 3.1.1, Deriving New Reports From Derivation Template.

Aggregate Templates

Template Name

Description

Aggregate Template

Generates a default report that displays AppManager data for the Knowledge Script, Machine, and Measure data series.

To derive a new report, manipulate the data presentation of any two of the following data series, which you want to display in the new report:

  • Knowledge Script

  • Machine

  • Measure

Aggregate Template Metric

Generates a default report that displays AppManager data for the Machine, Measure, and Metric data series.

To derive a new report, manipulate the data presentation of any two of the following data series, which you want to display in the new report:

  • Machine

  • Measure

  • Metric

Day of the Week Templates

Template Name

Description

Day of the Week Template

Generates a default report that displays AppManager data for the Knowledge Script, Machine, and Measure data series over different week days.

To derive a new report for different week days, manipulate the data presentation of any one of the following data series by which you want to group the data in the new report:

  • Knowledge Script

  • Machine

  • Measure

Day of the Week Template Metric

Generates a default report that displays AppManager data for the Metric data series over different week days.

To derive a new report for different week days, manipulate the data presentation to group the data by Metric data series in the new report.

Time Range Templates

Template Name

Description

Time Range Template

Generates a default report that displays AppManager data for the Knowledge Script, Machine, and Measure data series over a specific time range.

To derive a new report over a specific time range, manipulate the data presentation of any one of the following data series by which you want to group the data in the new report:

  • Knowledge Script

  • Machine

  • Measure

Time Range Template Metric

Generates a default report that displays AppManager data for the Metrics data series over a specific time range.

To derive a new report for a specific time range, manipulate the data presentation to group the data by Metric data series in the new report.
