Chapter 1 - Introduction
This guide describes how to use Box Office Dashboards and Reports: how to run them, use the controls they
provide, and interpret the results they produce.
It describes the supplied Standard Reports in detail, with example output. You probably also have access to
Custom Reports, created by your own Box Office Developers or a third party. While the details of such reports are
obviously outside the scope of this guide, its general advice on using Box Office reports will help get you started.
It is mainly intended for Box Office Users i.e. staff who run, use or consume the information provided by Box
Office reports, although it may also be of interest to your Box Office Administrator and Developers.
Monitor Master 10.4.4 is compatible with Box Office v1.8 and v1.10.
This guide describes Box Office v1.8 in detail - for a summary of the extra features in v1.10, see Box Office v1.10.
In this Chapter:

Box Office This guide describes how to use the main Monitor Master reporting engine, Box Office, to produce and use
reports.
We supply Standard Reports with Box Office to get you started, but you probably also have access to Custom
Reports, developed by your own organization. This guide describes how to use Box Office Reports in general and
describes each of the Standard Reports in more detail.
For detailed information on your Custom Reports, contact your development department.
Box Office Reports can be designed to deliver the exact level of detail you want - anything from a global overview
to details from a single testrun - and provide a range of controls to select the time period, agent, plan, test, or
metric of interest.

Dashboards and Reports
Box Office always outputs data via a Dashboard. Dashboards can produce a live interactive summary of your data
using graphs and dials - that most users would call a Dashboard. But Dashboards can also be designed to produce
detailed data in a format suitable for printing by using tables and lists - that most users would call a report.
The types of report on offer include...
Bar, line, area, pie and Gantt charts - in 2D or 3D
Radar plots and gauges
Maps, lists, filmstrips, and pivot tables
Text, links, trees and web pages

Text, links, trees and web pages
Reports can be set to update automatically so the results are always fresh, and provide click-through so you can
click on a result of interest to get more detail.
Some key Box Office terms While we use the term Report rather loosely, a Report is really the output from running a report template or design
- a Dashboard - with the data you want to report on i.e. you run a Box Office Dashboard to produce a Report.
Dashboards can provide a highly visible summary view of key data, rather like the Dashboard on a car - or a
detailed graph - or a lengthy text report, more suitable for printing - or anything in between.
A Dashboard consists of one or more separate elements called Viewlets. A Viewlet provides a view of your
selected data, such as a table, graph, or pivot table. A simple Dashboard might consist of a single Viewlet, but will
typically consist of several. A Viewlet can be expanded (visible) or contracted (hidden), or zoomed by clicking its
buttons, so you can choose which views you want to see. Viewlets can also provide facilities such as sorting,
paging, and click-through (to drill down to more detail).
A Dashboard may also have additional user control elements called Parameters. Parameters allow you to filter the
data used for the report, for example to select results from a particular day, Agent, or Test.
When you use a Dashboard, it connects to a database containing the data to report on, its Source. For example, a
Projector Dashboard use a Projector database as its Source - if you have access to more than one Projector, you can
switch between them while using a Projector Dashboard, to produce reports from the different Sources.
Times and time zones A Monitor Master QM installation includes a number of servers and probes, each with its own local clock and time.
These clocks must be kept synchronized or cross-system timings can become inaccurate or totally meaningless.
Monitor Master QM uses NTP to synchronies all probes with the QM Server; QM Server acts as the NTP time
source. For details of NTP setup, see Installing & Managing Monitor Master.
However, a Monitor Master QM installation can include components in widely separated locations, so probes and
servers can be in different time zones, which could lead to confusion. How should we report results, in local (to the
probe/Agent) time, or central (QM Server/Projector) time, or some other standard?
This section will clarify the three simple timing standards used by Monitor Master QM:
QM Server Time
Apparent Time
UTC Time
Chapter 1 - Introduction
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 10 of 168 21 July 2017
QM Server Time
The time on the QM Server is the main reference used by a Monitor Master QM system. This is called QM Server
Time and defaults to the Windows time and time zone on the QM Server - although your system administrator can
specify a different time zone for QM use only if required.
Hint: To check the QM Server Time, use the QM Status/System Configuration/View Configuration option.
In reports, times based on QM Server Time are reported as Time fields.
Apparent Time
Each Agent/Probe has its own local time, synchronized with the QM Server Time by the NTP service - but it may
not be the same time. If the probe is in the same time zone as the QM Server, then its local time will be the same
(within a few milliseconds); but if the probe is in a different time zone it will be synchronized to the QM Server
Time plus the offset appropriate for their respective time zones.
The Local Time recorded will thus be the time that a user at that location would report or set their watch to.
In reports, times based on Local Time are reported as Apparent Time fields.
UTC Time
UTC Time is Coordinated Universal Time, a high-precision standard time that is not subject to time zones. When
reports include UTC Time fields, they are directly comparable regardless of the location (time zone) from which
they were reported.
Put simply:
Local time = UTC + offset for time zone
UTC Time is also called Zulu Time and is comparable to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for most purposes.
In reports, times based on UTC Time are reported as UTC Time fields.

Chapter 2 - Using Box Office
This chapter provides an introduction to using the Box Office user interface, including logging in and out, menus
and screen layout. For general information on using Dashboards see Chapter 3; for information on the Standard
Reports, see Chapters 4-8.
Launching Box Office
User Interface
The menu bar
The Sidebar
Launching Box Office Monitor Master QM Users will usually launch Box Office from Quality Manager, but can also launch Box Office
from Internet Explorer i.e. without using Quality Manager. This will allow them access to the full range of facilities
they are authorized to use, including launching Box Office Reports.
Monitor Master QM Users can also launch key Box Office Reports direct from within QM as described later - see
Launching a Dashboard.
Launching Box Office Reports from Quality Manager
The usual way to launch Box Office Reports is from Monitor Master Quality Manager:
Login to Quality Manager (see the Quality Manager User Guide if you need help).
Either:
Select the Home option from the Quality Manager Reporting menu.
This will log you in to Box Office and display your Box Office Home page.
Select the Report you want from your Home page, Sidebar or Dashboards menu.
Or, to launch Reports for a specific Source:
Select the Source from the QM Reporting menu: Projector, Agent, Events or Resources.
This will log you into Box Office and display the main Dashboard (report) for that Source in another
window.
You can now select other Dashboards or Sources by using the Sidebar controls.
To close this Dashboard and gain access to the entire menu structure, click the Home button on the
Box Office menu bar.
Or, to launch a specific Report that's been set up as a Quality Manager Favorite:
Select the Favorite to launch, from the Reporting/Favorites menu:
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 13 of 168 21 July 2017
This will launch the Report specified by the Favorite, including the Source and Parameters.
Hint: For information on setting up Box Office Favorites, see the Developing Reports with Box Office guide.
Launching Box Office Reports from Internet Explorer
While Monitor Master QM users will usually launch Box Office Reports from Quality Manager, you can also
launch Box Office direct from Internet Explorer, for example if they don't have access to Quality Manager:
Type the appropriate URL in the IE address bar and press Enter or click the Go button. With a default
install, the URL consists of the server's URL followed by BoxOffice. For example, if your server has a
routable name of OL2, you would type: http://ol2/BoxOffice/
This will display the Login page:
Logging in
If you have a Box Office username and password, type them to login - these will usually be the same as your
Monitor Master QM username and password. (If you don't have a username and password, you may be able to
continue as a Guest User):
Type your username in the User Name box. This has no connection with your Windows username - it might
be the same but will probably be different.
Type your password in the Password box. Again, this has no connection with your Windows password.
If you want this computer to remember your password so you don't have to type it in future, tick the
Remember me checkbox. This makes your login less secure (as anyone who has access to your PC can login
as you if they know your username) so might not be appropriate within your organization.
Click the Log In button.
Chapter 2 - Using Box Office
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 14 of 168 21 July 2017
This will display your Dashboards page - a list of all the reports you can use. You might have access to all
Dashboards:
Or you might have access to just those Dashboards appropriate to your Role:
Hint: You can also login by using the Login link, displayed top-right of every page.
Click the Dashboard you want to run.
Note: If you are a Box Office Developer, you will see the same user interface as other Users, but will be able to use
Developer-only facilities, such as the Configure menu options.
Forgot your password?
If you have a Box Office username, but have forgotten your password:
Click the Forgotten password link on the Login page
This will display the Forgot password page:
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 15 of 168 21 July 2017
Type your username and click Submit.
Your password will be emailed to your mailbox - check your mail.
Logging in as a Guest
If the Continue as a guest link is displayed on the Login page, you don't need to login to use Box Office:
Click the Continue as a guest link
This will display the Dashboards page, a list of all reports you can run, like this:
A Guest can run Dashboards just like a logged-in user, but does not have access to any of the additional facilities
that a logged-in user might have. The most obvious difference is that you won't see a Role Favorites folder (like
Executive Dashboards in the previous screenshot) but neither will you be able to annotate Dashboards, or edit
them.
Note: If the Continue as a guest link is not displayed on the Login page, Guest login is disabled in your
installation; you must login to use Reports.
Logging out from Box Office
Box Office will log you out automatically if you haven't used it for a while (approximately 15 minutes), to help
preserve security. You should also log out manually if you have finished making changes.
To log out:
Click the Logout link, shown top right of every Box Office window, next to your login name:
Chapter 2 - Using Box Office
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 16 of 168 21 July 2017
Once logged out, you may be able to continue using Box Office as a Guest User (depending how your System
Administrator has configured security) - to use Dashboards, Favorites, and Links. Or you may have no access at all
until you login again.
The Box Office User Interface Box Office pages are displayed by your web browser. They consist of three main elements:
1. The menu bar, near the top of the page, provides your main menu options (Home, Dashboards, Configure,
etc). See The Menu bar
2. The sidebar, on the left side of the page, provides context-sensitive options (in the example above, a list of
the Dashboards available). See The Sidebar
3. The main panel, on the right side of the page, contains the main content, such as the report you are viewing
or list of items to choose from. See Chapter 3, Using Dashboards.
These elements are not all present on every page. For example, the designer of a Dashboard may hide the Sidebar
when it's run, to make more room to display the results.
You use the reporting facilities by choosing options from the main menu or sidebar, and clicking links or buttons in
the main panel.
Tooltips
Reports have Tooltip Help built in. For more information on a data point, move the mouse pointer to it and wait a
few seconds for a Tooltip to be displayed.
For example, the tooltip for a data point on a graph shows its value:
The Box Office Menu bar The Box Office Menu bar provides access to your main menu options, from any Box Office page:
Using Box Office Reports

The options in italic are for Box Office Administrators and Developers only. These options are described in the
Developing Reports with Box Office guide - you can ignore them if you are a Box Office User.
Selecting a menu option
To display the options in a Box Office menu:
Move the mouse pointer to the menu name on the menu bar. Its options will drop down, like this:
An option that ends with a leads to a submenu - move the mouse pointer to the option to display the
submenu:
Click an option to choose it:
You can also click the Home menu button to display the Home page, or the Dashboards buttons to display the
Dashboards page.
Chapter 2 - Using Box Office
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 18 of 168 21 July 2017
The Box Office Home menu
The Home menu button takes you to the current Home page (the Login page if you're a Guest; the Dashboards
page if you've logged in).
The Box Office Dashboards menu
The Dashboards menu lists all the Dashboards you can use, in a number of submenus. The default submenus are:
Favorites - lists your Favorites - Dashboards with a Source pre-selected. This is initially empty, but you can
easily add reports to the list
This Dashboard - provides options to create a simple PDF from the current report
Box Office - lists Dashboards designed to access data on your Box Office Server
Monitor Master Agent - lists Dashboards designed to access data on a Monitor Master Agent
Monitor Master Projector - lists Dashboards designed to access data on a Monitor Master Projector
Monitor Master QMServer Events - lists Dashboards designed to access events data on a Monitor Master
QM Server
Monitor Master QMServer SysData - lists Dashboards designed to access system data on a Monitor Master
QM Server
You may see other submenus if additional Dashboards are installed on your system.
Dashboards / Favorites
This sub-menu lists your Favorites, frequently-used Dashboards with a Source pre-selected. Select a Favorite to
connect to the Source and run the Dashboard.
For more information on using Favorites, see Launching a Dashboard from a Favorite.
Dashboards / This Dashboard
Provides two options to create a PDF from the current report, for you to file as a permanent record, print, email,
etc:
Create PDF (without menus) - creates a PDF from the Viewlet output only

For example, if you display the Dashboards page, the Sidebar lists your Dashboards in a tree structured list, under
the Dashboard heading:
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 21 of 168 21 July 2017
To open a folder in the Sidebar (expand the hierarchy) click its button.
You can select a Dashboard from the Dashboard list in the Sidebar (or from the tables in the main panel): simply
click the Dashboard name.
Once you've selected the Dashboard to view, the Sidebar lists the Sources you can use with it (if you have more
than one), under the Sources heading.
Once you've selected the Dashboard and Source to use, Box Office generates the report and displays it. The Sidebar
now displays any additional controls supported by the Dashboard (under the Parameters heading), for you to tune
the report:
For example, you can now choose a different Test, Metric, time period or location to report on. Or even choose a
different Dashboard or Source.
For more on using the Sidebar to control a Dashboard see Chapter 3, Using Dashboards.

Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
A Box Office Report consists of data from your selected Source, displayed by a Dashboard.
A Source is, in essence, a database - for example, your Monitor Master Projector's database, which contains
summary results from all your Monitor Master Agents.
A Dashboard is a report design or template that selects data from the Source (for example, the last hour's SMS
send time for the USA) and specifies how to display it (for example, in a table or graph or on a map). A Dashboard
typically also provides controls (called Parameters) for you to filter the data, e.g. to select data from a specific date
range and test.
You can use the supplied sample Standard Dashboards as well as any Custom Dashboards developed for or by
your organization. Note: The Dashboards you can use depend both on what is installed and on what level of
security has been implemented by your system administrator. For example, you may be restricted to using just
those Dashboards appropriate to your Role.
This Chapter describes how to launch a Dashboard, use the Dashboard controls, and use the Report. These
techniques apply to all Dashboards, whoever developed them and whatever Source you use them with. Chapters
4-8 describe each of the Standard Dashboards in more detail.
Launching a Dashboard You can launch a Dashboard (to create and view a report) from Quality Manager, the Box Office Dashboards page
or Sidebar, the Box Office Dashboards menu or a Box Office Favorite.
Once you've chosen the Dashboard, you usually need to select the Source to read the data from, and then wait for
your report to be delivered.
Launching a Dashboard from Quality Manager
If you're using Monitor Master QM, it provides direct access to key Dashboards:
Move the mouse pointer to the Reporting menu:
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 23 of 168 21 July 2017
Click Projector to launch the Projector Screening Room Dashboard
Click Agent to launch the Agent Screening Room Dashboard
Click Events to launch the Event Log Overview Dashboard
Click Resources to launch the QM Server Resource Usage Dashboard
Or move to the Favorites submenu to list your Favorites:
Click the Favorite to use.
Note: You'll see a different list, because your Favorites are set up for you by your own Box Office
Developers. See the Developing Reports with Box Office guide for more on setting up Favorites.
Launching a Dashboard from the Home page or Sidebar
Once you've launched Box Office, the quickest way to launch a Dashboard is from your Home page. You can
display this at any time by clicking the Home or Dashboards button, in the menu bar:
The Home page lists all the Dashboards you can use:
Select the Dashboard to use, by clicking its name in one of the tables in the main panel or in the Sidebar on
the left:
The main panel lists Dashboards in a separate table for each product type, together with explanatory
notes and a thumbnail of the most recent report for each one, to help you pick
The Sidebar lists the Dashboards by title within product type - click the buttons to expand the list.
Secondary folders and bold are used to help structure the list and pick out key reports
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 24 of 168 21 July 2017
If you are logged in, your Role Favorites folder (e.g. Executive Dashboards) is listed first. This contains the
Dashboards that you will use most often. (You may have more than one Role Favorites folder, if you have more
than one role.)
If your Administrator has selected Controlled access mode, you won't see (or be able to use) any other Dashboards -
only the ones in your Role Favorites. Indeed, if there is only one Dashboard in your Role Favorites folder, it will
run for you automatically when you login in.
If your Administrator has selected Open access mode, after the Role Favorites you will see one folder/table per
supported product type, such as Monitor Master Agent and Monitor Master Projector, containing all the
Dashboards for that product type.
Some Dashboards may be listed in the Sidebar but not in the main panel tables (or vice versa). For example, the
main panel might list just the most important ones, while the Sidebar lists all the Dashboards you can use.
Note: Once you have selected a Dashboard, the Dashboards for all other Products (Source types) will disappear
from the menu and Sidebar. To return to your full list of Dashboards, click the Home or Dashboards button on the
menu bar.
Launching a Dashboard from the Dashboards menu
To launch a Dashboard from the Box Office menu bar:
Move to the Dashboards button but don't click it.
This will display a menu organized by Product (Source type) - move to the appropriate one to display a
submenu of Dashboards for that Product, then move to the one to launch and click it:
move... move... click!
Launching a Dashboard from a Box Office Favorite
A Box Office Favorite is a Dashboard that has been saved with a Source pre-selected, for your convenience. Your
Favorites are listed under the Favorites option in the Box Office Dashboards menu. (They are also available from
Quality Manager's Reporting menu.)
To launch a Favorite from Box Office:
Select the Favorites option from the Dashboards menu (move the mouse pointer to it). This will list your
Favorites in a submenu:
Click the Favorite you want to use. This will connect to the saved Source, fetch the data, and display it using
the saved Dashboard.
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 25 of 168 21 July 2017
You can now use the Dashboard exactly as if you had selected the Dashboard and Source separately. You
can even select a different Source (if the Dashboard was designed with navigation allowed).
Hint: If you have write access to the Framework (developer rights), you can select the Add this option to add the
current Dashboard and Source as a new Favorite.
Selecting the Source
When you launch a Dashboard, if you have just one suitable Source on your system (or launched it from a
Favorite), Box Office will connect to it immediately.
If you have more than one suitable Source, you will be prompted to choose the Source to use:
(Each Dashboard is designed for a specific product type, such as a Monitor Master Projector or Device
Master Server.)
Select the Source to use by clicking its name in the list in the main panel, or in the Sidebar on the left and
Box Office will connect to it.
Box Office connects to the Source database to extract the data to display. This may take just a few seconds or much
longer, depending on the complexity and volume of data, the connection bandwidth, server load and performance,
and other factors. A progress bar will be displayed on the browser status bar at the bottom of the window to show
progress.
Box Office Timeouts
If the Source does not return the data a Viewlet needs within the timeout (period) specified by its designer, you
will see an error message like this:
(You may see this more than once, as each Viewlet in a Dashboard reports its own timeouts.)
To try again with a longer timeout (as displayed in the message), click the bold part of the message.
An occasional timeout probably just means that the Source was busy. If you get frequent timeouts (say, more than
1 time in 10), tell your Box Administrator the name of the Source, Viewlet and Dashboards.
Your Report
Once the data has been downloaded from the selected Source, Box Office renders it according to the Dashboard
you selected and displays your Report:
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 26 of 168 21 July 2017
Scroll the window to see the entire report.
Dashboard Controls
Most Dashboards provide additional controls in the Sidebar, under the Parameters heading, that you can use to
change the data being output. For example, the Overview Dashboard shown above includes controls to change:
The Dashboard being used
The Source being used
The time period - time ago (e.g. the last 10 minutes) or start and end time
The location
The Agent
The Plan
The Test
You can also expand or contract components of the Dashboard (the Viewlets) by clicking their and buttons, or
zoom them by using their zoom buttons, and . For information on using these controls, see Dashboards Controls
Other facilities
Once you've displayed a Dashboard, what else can you do with it? You can:
Pop up more information by hovering over items that support Tooltip Help (e.g. to display the exact values
used for a data point on a graph)
Explore the data by clicking items that support Click through - to drill down to more detailed reports - all
the way down to the individual testrun
Repurpose the report or data by printing, copying, or exporting it.
For information on these other facilities, see The Viewlet menu.
Finally, for detailed information on the example Projector Dashboards supplied, see Chapter 5, The Projector
Dashboards.
Dashboard Controls A Box Office Dashboard may provide a range of types of controls, depending on the choices made by the
Developer who created it. For example, a Dashboard may have no Parameters, or even no Sidebar. Even if there is
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 27 of 168 21 July 2017
no Sidebar, you can still use the Viewlet buttons, Viewlet menu, and Browser facilities to control other aspects of
the Dashboard.
This section describes each type of Dashboard Control in turn.
Navigation
Parameters
Autorefresh
Annotation
Viewlet folding
Viewlet zoom
User customization
Viewlet menu
For details of the additional controls provided by certain Viewlets, see Using a Report.
Dashboard Controls - Navigation
Navigation Controls are displayed at the top of the Sidebar:
You can use them to choose a different Source or different Dashboard:
To select a different Dashboard, select it from the Dashboard list. This new Dashboard will display data
from the current Source. (The Sidebar only lists Dashboards suitable for use with the current Source.)
To select a different Source, select it from the Source list. The current Dashboard will display data from this
new Source. (The Sidebar only lists Sources suitable for use with the current Dashboard.)
When you choose a different Dashboard, it may use your current Parameter choices, or may reset them to its own
defaults (depending on the designer); when you change the Source, your current Parameter choices will always be
used with the new data.
Dashboard Controls - Parameters
Parameters are displayed in the Sidebar below the navigation controls:
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 28 of 168 21 July 2017
Parameters are controls that you can use to adjust the filters that select the data for the report (such as time, date,
metric name).
Click the checkbox next to a Parameter name to turn that filter on or off:
filter is OFF, click to turn it on
filter is ON, click to turn it off
filter is ALWAYS ON, you cannot turn it off
Note: In previous versions of Box Office, a Parameter would turn itself on if you adjusted its value. This is
no longer the case - if a Parameter is OFF, you must turn it ON before you can adjust it.
Use the Parameter controls to change the setting. There are five main types:
Text entry box - click in the box and type.
Dropdown - click the down arrow and click an option to select it.
List - click an option to select it. To select multiple options, hold down Ctrl or Shift while clicking.
(Multiple options are only supported by some Dashboards.)
Checkbox - click to switch between on and off
Date box - click in the box and retype the date in the format shown, or click the (Calendar) button
to display a calendar:
Select the year and month from the lists at the top, then click the day to select that date - or click the
Today link to choose today's date.
Click Apply to use the changed Parameter settings or click Reset to apply the default settings for this
Dashboard. The Dashboard will then run again with the revised settings.
Parameter defaults
The first Dashboard you display uses the default Parameter settings chosen by its designer.
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 29 of 168 21 July 2017
If you display another Dashboard by using click-through, its Parameters will be set to show the relevant
information from the first, e.g. if you click on a Testrun ID, the Testrun Summary Dashboard will be displayed,
with Parameters chosen to display the Testrun you clicked on.
If you display another Dashboard by selecting it from the Sidebar or Dashboards menu, it may use your current
Parameter values as defaults, making it easy for you to obtain different views of the same data - or it may use the
defaults chosen by its designer. (This behavior is chosen by the Dashboard designer - you can't change it.)
Of course, once the new Dashboard is displayed, you can change any of the active Parameters and click the Apply
button to apply them.
To re-display the current Dashboard with its default Parameter settings, click the Reset button.
Dashboard Controls - Autorefresh
The Autorefresh control is displayed in the Sidebar, after the Parameters, by Dashboards that perform autorefresh:
The control displays a countdown to the next autorefresh. When this reaches zero, Box Office will run the
Dashboard again, to read the data from the Source again. Autorefresh is mainly used for Dashboards that display
recent data (e.g. "time ago" data), to keep the report up-to-date with changes to the Source data.
To turn autorefresh on or off:
Click the Dashboard refresh checkbox to change the setting from on (ticked) to off (not ticked) or vice versa.
Note: The automatic refresh interval is fixed - set by the Dashboard designer.
Dashboard Controls - Annotation
An Annotation box may be displayed in the Sidebar, after the Parameters.
This can be used to enter and display notes about this Dashboard and Source. A User can only enter annotation
notes if they have the Edit Annotation right. The Annotation box is typically used to record information such as the
conditions during previous runs (e.g. Service outage 14:03-14:44), or notes for others users (e.g. Agent4 is offline
until the end of the week).
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards

or
If the buttons are displayed (as on the right), you have the Edit Annotation right and can edit or add annotations.
To add an annotation:
Click Add:
Type a short title in the Title box, and the main text in the Annotation box.
To add a link to related information, type the text to display as the link (e.g. monthly maintenance plan) in
the Link text box and a URL (e.g. http://mycompany.com/engineering/index.asp) in the Link URL box.
Click Apply to add the annotation, stamped with your username and the date and time.
Dashboard Controls - Viewlet folding
The Viewlet folding buttons are used to hide or reveal the output of a Viewlet; for example, to select which
elements of the Dashboard you want printed. The buttons are displayed in the Viewlet's title bar:
All Viewlets have them.
Click the button to unfold (open) a folded Viewlet.
Click the button to fold (close) an unfolded Viewlet.
To shrink or expand the output from a Viewlet, use the Viewlet zoom buttons.
Viewlet zoom
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 31 of 168 21 July 2017
Dashboard Controls - Viewlet zoom buttons
The Viewlet zoom buttons can be used to shrink or enlarge the output from a Viewlet. They are displayed in a
Viewlet's title bar:
Click the button to zoom in - to make the Viewlet 100% bigger.
Click the button to zoom out - to make the Viewlet 50% smaller.
To hide or reveal a Viewlet's output use the Viewlet folding buttons.
You can zoom in to improve legibility or increase impact in a report; zoom out to fit more information on the
screen or reduce impact in a report.
Dashboard Controls - User Customization
User Customization is an option that allows you to change aspects of a Viewlet's output, such as the scaling of the
Y-axis on a graph. It doesn't change the data, just how it's presented. It's only available if the Viewlet designer
chose it.
If a Viewlet supports customization, you'll see the Show/hide customizations button in its title bar:
To use customization:
Click the button to drop down the Customize dialog, like this:
Make the changes you want. If you're not sure what a customization option does, try it out - or ask the
Developer who created the Dashboard.
Click Apply to apply the changes and close the Customize dialog.
Once customization is in force, an asterisk is displayed next to the button like this:
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 32 of 168 21 July 2017
To disable all customization:
Click the button to drop down the Customize dialog
Click the Reset button.
Dashboard Controls - Viewlet menu
The Viewlet menu is displayed by moving the mouse pointer to the button in a Viewlet's title bar:
This menu provides options to:
Export the output as a PDF (an electronic document)
Export the displayed data to a Spreadsheet (for further analysis)
Edit the Viewlet definition (if you have Developer rights)
Examine the SQL query the Viewlet uses.
Using a Report This section describes how to use the contents of the Dashboard - the Report that's displayed by the Dashboard -
including the Viewlet-specific controls:
Using a Report - Tooltips
For a brief explanation of any data on a Dashboard, move the mouse pointer to it and wait a few seconds (hover
over it) to display a Tooltip - a text box with a cream background.
Tooltips can be displayed by most elements of a report, but must have been added by the Developer.
For example, if you hover over a data point on a graph, you will see a Tooltip showing the exact data plotted at
that point.
Using a Report - Click-through (hotspots)
Dashboards can provide Click-through for key data. If a data item supports click-through, when you move your
mouse to it, the pointer will change to a hand. Click the item to display a second Dashboard with a more detailed
report about the clicked item. This facility is also called Drilldown.
For example, on the example Overview Dashboard, click on any row of the Failing Testruns Grid:
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 33 of 168 21 July 2017
to display the Testrun summary Dashboard for that testrun:
Click-through may be supported by:
Rows of a Grid (simple table)
Cells of a Pivot Table (complex table)
Data Pins on a Map
Data points on a graph
Using a Report - Using Grids
Grids are used to tabulate numerical and text data, like this:
Grids provide a number of additional controls that you can use:
Click a column heading (Time, Test, Device, etc.) to sort by that column; click it again to reverse the sort
direction (shown by a sort indicator).
If there are too many rows to fit in the Grid, use the pagination buttons at the bottom of the Grid to move
through the data.
Click a row to drill down to underlying data, using click-through
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 34 of 168 21 July 2017
Using a Report - Using Pivot Tables and Filmstrips
A Pivot table is a more complex type of table, using columns and rows to analyze a value, typically showing how a
result varies over several dimensions. Pivot tables typically provide row zoom buttons as well as click-through.
For example, the Availability, month & day pivot table (in the Availability filmstrips folder) shows how
availability varies with time, Plan, and Test. Each cell of the table shows the percentage availability for a day-long
time slot, as recorded by each Test and plan:
The names and results for individual tests are initially compressed vertically; you can just see their values because
they're color-coded just like the larger cells. A pivot table with compressed rows like this is called a Filmstrip.
To expand a Row (so you can see the individual Tests that make up a Plan), click the button at the start of the
Row:
The Cells for the individual Tests support click-through. Click a Cell to display details of the results that make up
that Cell, on the Availability, day & hour Dashboard.
You can now repeat the process, using row zoom and click-through to drill further into the results until you reach
a detailed report on the testrun behind an individual result:
Using Box Office Reports

Using a Report - Using Graphs
Box Office Graphs (or Charts) are used to display numerical data such as test duration, percentage availability, or
data transfer rate, in a format that helps reveal trends, patterns and exceptions. Graph types include bar and line,
pie and Gantt:
Hints:
Hover over a data point (marker) to show the underlying data, in a tooltip
Click a data point to click through to a more detailed Dashboard
If data points go outside the graph's range, like the 5th and 6th points below, the missing points may be
shown in four different ways:
gaps
lines

triangles
lines and triangles
Null data may be ignored (not plotted), or plotted as a default value specified by the designer (typically 0)
You can zoom in or out on a graph to change the view, using the and buttons in the Viewlet's title bar
If there is a button in the Viewlet title bar, click it to see the customization options available. These can
be used, for example, to change the Y axis range.
Using a Report - Using Maps (the Maps Viewlet)
The Box Office Maps Viewlet uses the Google MAPS API to display data according to the location it was captured
in, on 2D maps. This Viewlet is particularly useful for presenting data collected from Probes that are in many
different geographical locations or moving.
A Map provides a number of unique controls for you to use:
Map controls, top left - use the slider to zoom in or out; use the arrow buttons to pan the map (move the
window over the map)
Left-click on the map and drag to pan it directly
Map buttons, top right - click the Map button for a conventional (political) map of the area, click the
Satellite button for a satellite view of the area, or click the Hybrid button to display a combination of the
two
Pins - each Pin indicates the location of a different testrun (using the Agent location/GPS data); the Pin color
indicates the testrun result (e.g. green=100% availability)
Click a Pin to pop up a summary of this testrun:
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 37 of 168 21 July 2017
Click the popup to click-through to the Testrun Summary Dashboard:
(For details of this Dashboard see Chapter 6.)
Note: If there are multiple Testruns in the same location, you will only see (and be able to click) the topmost Pin i.e.
the last one output.
Using a Report - Using 3D Maps (the Earth Viewlet)
The Box Office Earth Viewlet uses the Google Maps API to display data according to the location it was captured
in, on a fully rendered 3D map or globe. This Viewlet is particularly useful for presenting data series collected from
Probes that are in many different geographical locations or moving.
The Google Earth plug-in
To view a 3D map the Google Earth plug-in must be installed in your browser. If you see this instead of a 3D map:
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 38 of 168 21 July 2017
You need to install the plug-in - see Appendix B for details.
The 3D Map
A 3D Map shows an overhead photographic view of an area of the Earth:
To move across the Earth: left-click on the map and drag left/right/up/down.
To zoom out (see more, in less detail): right-click on the map where you want to center and drag up the
screen. When you zoom right out you will see the Earth as a Globe.
To zoom in (see less, in more detail): right-click on the map where you want to center and drag down the
screen. When you zoom right in the viewpoint will slowly change from overhead to horizontal.
To rotate the map clockwise: right-click on the map where you want to pivot and drag to the left.
To rotate the map anticlockwise: right-click on the map where you want to pivot and drag to the right.
The map starting point, size and zoom level are set by the Earth Viewlet's designer.

The Earth Viewlet does not support output as a PDF.
The data
A 3D Map can show data locations by displaying a labeled Marker at each one, and can draw lines between them.
It can also show the altitude of each data location (relative to the landscape) by rendering these lines like walls
built on the landscape. What you see will depend on the options chosen by the Earth Viewlet's designer. For
example:
If a description has been defined for a placemark, you can display it in a popup bubble by left-clicking its marker:

Using a Report - Saving as a URL
To save a live copy of the current report (Source, Dashboard, and Parameter settings), save the current URL i.e. the
current contents of the Browser's address bar. The easiest way to do this is to save it as a Box Office Favorite. This
adds it to the Favorites menu, for all users to see. This requires Developer rights, so is described in the Developing
Reports with Box Office guide.
If you're not a Developer, you can save the URL for your own use (on your current PC), to provide easy access to
frequently-used reports:
Select the Dashboard, Source, and Parameters to create the report
Select the Add to Favorites option from the Browser's Favorites menu to add the report to your IE Favorites
Or, to create a desktop shortcut to this report: drag the IE Favorite you've just created onto your desktop

Or, to email a link: copy (paste) the URL from the Browser's Address bar into the email - if the recipient can
has access your Box Office server, they can use the link to run the report again
Hint: By live copy of the report we mean a report that will be run again each time it's accessed. If the data has
changed or the report uses the Time ago Parameter to specify the time period, the report contents will be different
each time it's run. To store the report so it doesn't change, see Saving as a PDF.
Using a Report - Saving as a web page
To create a static copy of the current report, you can save it as a web page, using the Browser's Save As command:
Select the Save As command from the Browser'sFile menu
Specify the file name and file type to create
Click OK
Or you can save it as a PDF.
Hint: By static copy of the report we mean a report that will look the same each time it's accessed - even if the data
has changed or the report uses the Time ago Parameter to specify the time period. To produce a new report each
time, see Saving as a URL.
Using a Report - Saving as a PDF
The PDF file format is ideal for storing or sending formatted output - you can treat it as an electronic version of a
printed document. A PDF file can be viewed, zoomed, searched, and printed by using a PDF Viewer such as
Adobe PDF Reader (previously known as Adobe Acrobat) with all formatting intact, even without access to the
original application.
PDF output is supported by most Viewlets.
To create a PDF of the current output from a Viewlet:
Hover over the button at the end of the Viewlet title to display the Viewlet menu:
Choose Export/As PDF to create a PDF of the output and view it in your default PDF Viewer (typically
embedded in your Internet Browser):
Chapter 3 - Using Dashboards
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 42 of 168 21 July 2017
To save the PDF as a file, use your PDF Viewer's Save facility (e.g. click the Save button).
Notice that PDFs are output from individual Viewlets. If you want to save the entire report, you can save it as a
web page.
Using a Report - Exporting data to other applications
The data output from a Viewlet can also be exported for use by other applications:
Hover over the button at the end of the Viewlet title to display the Viewlet menu:
Choose Export/New web page to display the Viewlet on a new web page (without the Box Office GUI)
Choose Export/Excel web query to create a query that will extract the same data as used by the Dashboard,
when run:
Click Open to run the Query in Microsoft Excel and a warning message will be displayed. Click Open again
to run the query and paste the resulting data into a new Excel workbook
Click Save to save the query for later use, as an IQY file. You will be prompted for the file name and
location.
Using a Report - Browser facilities
While using Box Office you can use all you Internet Browser's facilities. For example, you can:
Print the current report by selecting the Print option from the Browser's File menu, or clicking its Print
button

Appendix A - Using iPhone Connectivity
If you have an Apple iPhone, you may be able to use it to access key reports while on the move. This facility -
iPhone Connectivity - requires Box Office Developer effort to create iPhone-specific Dashboards (see Developing
Reports with Box Office).
This Box Office feature is still in development, but we think it should prove useful even in its current form.
Using Box Office Dashboards from your iPhone To use Box Office from your iPhone:
Connect to http://servername/BoxOffice/Login/iLogin.aspx
Type your Box Office username and password and tap Log In
After successful login, your iPhone Welcome or iPhone Portal screen should be displayed. This is a custom
page provided by your developers, but will typically use a Links Viewlet to offer a menu of Dashboards you
can run, like this:
Simply tap the option you want to launch the corresponding report:
Using Box Office Reports
© InfoVista Sweden AB, 2000-2017. All rights reserved. Page 159 of 168 21 July 2017
You can use iPhone facilities like rotate, zoom and flick (to scroll) to navigate the report
You can also use click-through and the Grid pagination controls if the Viewlet supports them
You cannot use Parameters, change the Source, or use the Viewlet menu as described earlier in this guide
(those facilities are for Internet Explorer users)
Tap the (Home) icon to return to the iPhone portal to choose another Dashboard
Remember to logout when finished

Appendix B - The Google Earth Plug-in
The Earth Viewlet uses the Google Maps API to display data according to the location it was captured in, on a fully
rendered 3D map or globe. To view a 3D map the Google Earth plug-in must be installed in your browser.
If you see this instead of a 3D map:
You need to install the plug-in as described below.
Note: The System Administrator must also obtain a site license key for your Box Office server, for your Developers
to use. This is described in the Installing & Managing Box Office guide.
Installing the Google Earth Plug-in You need to install the Google Earth plug-in on your PC before it can display the Earth (3D Map) Viewlet. This
requires Internet access from the PC and will typically take 5-10 minutes.
Note: You do not need this plug-in to use the Google Maps (2D Map) Viewlet.
Launch Internet Explorer on the PC
Visit http://code.google.com/apis/earth/ to display the Google Earth API page.
If you need to install the plug-in, a large Download link will be displayed on this page, like this:
