Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

The Cluster Bar Chart View Component
The Cluster Bar Chart View component displays the list of selected KPIs or Metrics, and their value, trend, and status for the measurement period in cluster bar format, by default.
You can view the report in the relevant page in the Dashboard.
To configure the component, where possible, click the Configure Component button in the component to display the component filter, or click here in Click Here to configure in the center of the component.
- All the time periods used in the component are periods of the fiscal year (For example, the end of the fiscal year depends on the fiscal year you have set at the system level).
-
Permissions. In the Dashboard components and in their configuration dialog boxes, you can only see the Scorecards, Perspectives, Objectives, KPIs, or KPI Breakdowns for which you have permission. If you do not have permission, you do not see that element. If you do not have permission to see all the elements in a component, the error message Data is not displayed because it does not exist or you do not have the correct viewing permissions. Contact your administrator is displayed.

Add the Component to a Dashboard Page
To add a component to a page that is already formatted:
- In the Dashboard, select the relevant page (click the Page Gallery button if the page you want does not already appear in the Dashboard).
- Click the Components button.
-
In the Component Gallery page that opens, click or double-click the component to place it in the layout area, or select the component and drag it to an area on the page.
Note that double-click only works if you open the Component Gallery from the layout itself and not from the toolbar.
- If the target area is hidden by the Component Gallery dialog box, click the Component Gallery dialog box title bar and drag it to another location on your screen.
- If you are dragging a new component to a target area that already has a component defined, drag the new component to the title bar of the target area, and not to the part of the component that is colored white.
-
Close the Component Gallery page. For user interface details, see Component Gallery and Component Categories.
-
In the component, click the Configure Component button or click here in Click Here to configure in the center of the component.
-
In the component Filter dialog box that opens, select the information you want to display and click OK.
The component displays the required information.

Enter the relevant string to display, in the tree, only the Metrics or KPIs (or Metric or KPI Breakdowns) whose name includes the string.
In addition, the child KPIs or Metrics of the filtered items are also listed even when the child names do not include the string.
Advanced Search. Opens additional fields to help you refine the component's filter:
-
Status: Select one of the All, Good, Warning, Critical, or No Data values to display only the elements with the selected status, in the Active KPIs or in the tree area. When you select No Data, the search returns only the elements with no data.

Active KPIs The tree box lists all the active Scorecards, Perspectives, Objectives, and their KPIs, and KPI Breakdowns listed in the Active KPIs pane in the Studio. The items that can be selected are highlighted (if you have selected Breakdown selection, only the KPI Breakdowns are highlighted).
To select or deselect the elements you want to display in the report, use the right and left arrows to move the elements from the Available KPIs to the Selected KPIs and back. You can also double-click the element to move it from one box to the other.
Note You can only select Metrics or KPIs with the same unit and with the same period. An error message is displayed if your selection does not match these criteria.
Selected KPIs
The box lists all the selected metrics or KPIs that you want to display in the component.
To select or deselect the elements you want to display in the report, use the right and left arrows to move the elements from the Available KPIs to the Selected KPIs and back. You can also double-click the element to move it from one box to the other.
