Service Performance Report

The Service Performance Report can be run from the Services > Reports menu or from the Reports > All Reports page. It reports how well a service or a sub-component of a service has performed. This shows the current trends of the service and provides historical information about how the service performed over a specified time such as a week, month, quarter or year.

The Service Performance Report page has three sections:

  • Report Criteria

  • Summary

  • Service Breakdown

All sections have menus for actions that can be performed on the section.

Report Criteria

The Report Criteria section allows you to select a service, service segment, location, metric category, or metric to report on. You can also limit the report to a time frame. The section includes the following subsections:

  • Select Policy - an expandable and collapsible tree diagram of service, service segment, location, metric category, and metric policies.

  • Report on - sets the time frame of the report.   more

  • Additional Criteria - provides lists for limiting the report to a selected location and a selected metric category.

  • Report Format - determines whether the report includes a detailed service breakdown section.
