Dynamic Template Scope Selector Components
While creating a report template, you define enterprise objects such as storage arrays, host groups or a list of hosts to include in the report scope. Report scope simply refers to the criteria that you specify to filter the data that's included in a report. You can select from the these filters when building a report template for an enterprise object:
Note that every enterprise object will have some mandatory components that are checked and greyed out. These are automatically set by the designer to ensure optimal performance and to enable components that are required for successful rendering of the data.
Also, the list of available components is specific to the enterprise object. In addition to the enterprise object components that enable report filtering, some components enable you to control graphical representation of the data; for example, Maximum Legends for Pie Chart. And, some components enabled advanced filtering, as described in the following section.
See Scope Selector Component - Custom Filter.
