Using the Treeview

MessageStats Reports use a treeview as the main navigational tool. The treeview contains folders that expand to reveal subfolders and reports.

When you select a folder from the treeview, the contents of the folder are displayed in the right pane in a file-based format. You can also select a report directly from the treeview.

The illustration to the left is an example of what the treeview may look like. Folders indicate a grouping of report information. Folders may contain subfolders or reports.

When you click on a report, the contents appear in the right pane.

Depending on your security role, you may not be able to see some of the branches of the treeview.

Using the Listview

MessageStats Reports use a listview model to display the available reports. When you select a folder from the treeview, the contents of the folder are displayed in the right pane in a file-based format.

 

The following table describes the interface elements of the file-based format:
