Prompt Generation Wizard: Qualify on a Metric page

You select metric qualification when you want to either apply a specific metric or use a search object to qualify on one. This type of prompt is used in a filter or a custom group element.

This page allows you to select the metrics from which the user can select. Restricting the number of objects to be displayed can serve a number of purposes, including performance improvement, security, and simplification of the display.

Choose one of the following options:

• Choose a metric object allows you to select a specific metric, in either of the following ways:

  • Enter the name of the metric.

  • Click Browse to find a metric.

• Use the results of a search object to use a set of metrics from a search object. Use the buttons described below to set the search object.

• Browse uses an existing search.

• New creates a new search. For instructions, see the list of Search for Objects procedures.

  After you set the search object, use the following buttons to make changes:

  • Clear to delete the search object.

  • Edit to open the Search for Objects dialog box and modify the search.

  • Use a predefined list of metrics to select the metrics manually. Use the buttons described below to create the list.

  • Add opens the Select Objects dialog box, which allows you to choose the metrics for the list.

    Once a metric has been selected, this button is replaced by Modify, which opens the Select Objects dialog box so you can select additional metrics.

  • Remove deletes the selected metric from the list.

  • Clear deletes all the metrics in the list.

  • Up and Down arrows move the selected metric to change the order the objects are displayed in the prompt.
