Tutorial 1: Creating a Dashboard 41
Configuring a Row-Oriented Table
point icon at the right side of the field. In this case, only the Name field is
required.
7
Type Monitored Hosts in the Name field.
You will use this name to refer to the Row-Oriented Table component later.
8
Leave Public unchecked.
9
Ensure that Deprecated is unchecked.
10
Set Preferred Width and Preferred Height. You can edit these values later when
you have seen the table displayed, so you can choose any values you want. For
now, set Preferred Width to 300 and Preferred Height to 150.
11
Leave Refresh Interval blank.
To learn about the uses of refresh interval settings, see the Web Component
Framework User Guide.
12
Leave Priority at None.
To learn about the uses of priority settings, see the Web Component Framework
User Guide.
13
Set the Purpose(s) check boxes by clicking the Edit icon ( ). Since the table will
be placed in a dashboard, we will check the Pagelet check box and leave all the
other boxes unchecked. Click Apply to save the setting and close the popup.
14
Leave Custom Purpose(s), Relevant Role(s) and Allowed Role(s) untouched.
See the Administration and Configuration Guide for a discussion of these items.
The table isn’t fully configured yet, so if you try and save it now you will get an
error that informs you that column values have not been set. The next procedure
shows you how to choose columns for the table. The data in the columns’ cells
will be dynamically generated and will depend on the host.
15
Fill in the Comments and Context Help fields with any descriptive text that you
feel is warranted. In a production environment, comments should contain
information for other developers and context help should contain information for
end users. It becomes part of the context sensitive help for the component.
Configuring the Table’s Columns
In the preceding steps you have given the table a name and you have set its size, but you
have not said what the table will contain. In other words, you need to define the columns
for the table. You do that in the Configuration tab.
