Using the Object Selection Controls

Menus in System Reporter often provide a way to select a subset of objects to include in a report
from among a list of available objects. System Reporter provides two types of selection lists to
implement this, a simple selection list and a filtered multi-selection control as described in the
following sections.

Simple Selection List

When the number of available objects is fixed or expected to be small, System Reporter uses a
standard selection list in which multiple items can be selected (using CTRL-CLICK). An example is
the selection list to select from the available disk speeds (see

“Select Disk Speed” (page 86)

). Since

the number of distinct disk speeds available is small, a simple selection list is adequate.

Filtered Multi-Selection Control

When the number of available objects is large (for example there may be thousands of VVs in a
VV selection list), it is difficult to scroll through a simple selection list to find a desired object or to
select specific objects in this list using CTRL-CLICK. To make it easier to find specific objects and
select them, System Reporter provides a filtered multi-selection control. Two examples of this, for
selecting systems and for selecting domains, are shown in

Figure 26 (page 69)

.

A filtered multi-selection control consists of two lists: one showing the available objects and one
showing the currently selected objects. Objects can be moved between lists by either double-clicking
on the object or by selecting objects and clicking on the appropriate arrow button in the control.
If no specific object is selected, then all objects are considered selected.
