On the
Gallery workspace,
you can work with folders, galleries, and albums:
-
A
folder is
a container for galleries, albums, and other folders. These folders
function like typical folders in a tree. You can use these folders
to group related galleries and folders. For example, you might create
a single folder to include all of your galleries for DT Perf Sentry
reports.
-
A
gallery is
a group of reports that share common filter values. You can organize
SAS IT Resource Management reports by creating a gallery that includes
all of the reports that meet a specific criterion. For example, you
might create a gallery to include all available reports for a particular
machine, adapter data source, or keyword. When viewing a gallery in
the
Gallery workspace, you can further subset
or filter the reports in a gallery for viewing. Thus, you can quickly
view a smaller set of reports in a gallery to measure and analyze
the utilization, availability, performance, and statistical trends
of IT resources for your enterprise.
-
Albums are
containers for reports that you want easy access to. Think of them
as point-and-click-galleries. When you open an album, it resembles
and behaves like a gallery. Galleries and albums differ only in how
they are created. A gallery is created with the
New Gallery wizard.
It is modified by using the
Edit Gallery wizard.
An album is created by selecting reports from existing galleries
and using the Copy Link to Album icon (
) on the workspace bar. You do not use a wizard to
create or edit it.
Note: Galleries and albums are
not deleted unless you delete them manually.
When any ITRM Report
Center user who belongs to the IT Resource Management Users group
logs in to the application, the following view of the
Gallery workspace
is available.
Gallery Workspace for a User
Your private galleries
and albums are grouped separately from galleries and albums that are
shared with you. Your private galleries and albums are stored in
a folder named
My Galleries and Albums
.
Galleries and albums that are shared with you are stored in a folder
named
Shared Galleries and Albums
.
On the
Gallery workspace,
you can choose to work with your private galleries and albums. You
can also work with galleries and albums that have been shared with
you by selecting the appropriate folder in the left pane.
When any user who belongs
to the IT Resource Management Administrators group logs in to the
application, the following view of the
Gallery workspace
is available.
