Tutorial 5: Reports 113
Adding an Iterator for a Multi-Page Report
5 Click the Edit icon on the Objects row and choose Context Selection from the
drop-down list.
The Edit - Objects dialog appears.
6 Choose hosts in the Input Key drop-down list.
7 Click Save in the Edit - Objects dialog.
Choosing the Iterated View
You can choose or construct any view whose inputs are host objects, since that is a
context that was set in Hosts Summary Report T5 itself. For this tutorial we will choose
[table] Memory hogs from the System module Hosts/Host. Any other view whose
inputs are acceptable would do as well.
To set the iterated view:
1 Select the Iterated View node.
2 Choose Hosts > Host, [table] Memory hogs.
We are adding an already-existing view because it is quicker than building a
special view for this tutorial. The objective here is to introduce the Iterator
component.
3 Leave the other fields with their default values.
4 Click Save in the Iterator component’s menu bar.
Adding the Iterator to the report
To add the Iterator component to the report:
1 Choose Configuration > Definitions and ensure that Hosts Summary Report T5
is selected in the Views tab for the Module List pane.
2 Click the Edit ( ) button.
The Definitions pane fills with the views editor.
3 Select the Views tab.
4 Click the Add ( ) icon on the Views menu bar.
The Select a View to add to the Report dialog appears.
5 Select Host Iterator T5.
6 Click Save in the dialog.
