When you open the Activity tab from the Dashboard tab, the selected entity is by default Organizations, meaning that information is displayed on the organization level. If you open the Activity tab from another tab, the settings you previously selected (such as, selected entity, filters, and time frame) are taken into account and information displayed is related to the same data you previously examined. This is called in-context navigation and enables you to focus in on other aspects of the selected entity and further your analysis.
About the Main area in the Activity tab
The Main area shows comprehensive information on the selected entity. You can choose from several views in the Main area to examine the entity from different angles. You can, for example, focus exclusively on your system’s Performance data (default), or SLA Compliance, over the selected time period.
Navigating in the Activity tab
The name of the entity you selected is displayed in the Tab heading, which serves as a point of orientation. The highest level entity for which you can view information in the Activity tab is the Tier.
The selected entity is always reflected in the Tab heading, which serves as a point of orientation. Hovering over the Tab heading displays a ToolTip which shows the navigation path you used to display a particular view.
About the Association area in the Activity tab
The Association area provides corresponding information on the entities that are associated with the selected entity. You can view information on one type of entity at a time, such as organizations only or locales only, by selecting an option from the Association Controls. The selection you make is reflected in the Association area only; the Main area remains unchanged. For some entities, tabs above the Association area enable you to view additional information: Clicking a tab changes the table columns for the same type of entities.
