About Viewing a Metric View

When you create a new Metric View or open an existing Metric View, the Result section displays the result for the Metric View. This section offers two views of the Metric View: Graph view and Table view.

Graph View

By default, the result appears in Graph View format. The Graph View in the Result section provides a visual representation of the Metric View. You can modify the default graph settings by selecting the button available on the Metric View design page. You can use a mouse pointer to zoom in by dragging out a rectangle shape in the data point of the chart. When you zoom in to the graph, the Reset Zoom button appears. You can select the Reset Zoom button to go back to the previous view of the graph.

For example, the following graph shows the Event Count and Average Corrective Work Cost based on the criticality of the equipment.

Table View

You can change the Graph View to Table View by selecting the button in the Result section that is displayed in the Graph View. The Table View displays the same information that is displayed in the Graph View, but in a grid format.

Each row in the table corresponds to a value that appears along the x-axis of the graph. The columns in the table represent the values that are plotted on the y-axis of the graph. Using the Table View, you can easily view, the actual values that have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the following table shows the Event Count and Average Corrective Work Cost based on the criticality of the equipment. These same values are represented graphically in the preceding image.
