Managing Measurement DataManaging Measurement DataTask ListTask List
Task List in ActixOne
� An ActixOne system may contain
– data from multiple sources
– for an entire operator‘s network
– including several RAN systems (GSM, UMTS, ...).
� Accordingly, the Task list may contain 1000s of tasks related to
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence.
– different types of problems
– different priorities and status
– multiple regions and cities
– a multitude of clusters and sites
– a number of engineers working on them.
– multiple departments and branches in the organization
� What is eventually visible in the task list can be arranged individually using Views, Filters, and Scopes (incl. Areas)
24
Task List – Default View
� A flat list containing the main task properties in the following sequence:
– ID
– Type
– Description
– Created (Date and Time)
– Assigned To
– Priority
– Status
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence.
� Below the task list, there is a link to the applied View.
– If the Default view is applied, then there is a link to creating a view.25
Setup the Task Listusing Views
� Create an individual View of the Task list with:
– a defined tree structure and
– selected columns in a defined sequence.
For example: Group by Type and Status.
� Click the Views icon and select Create View...
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence. 26
� Click the Views icon and select Create View...
� Activate Group for the columns Type and Status.As Group is activated, the column item is moved up automatically. This creates a tree view grouped at first by Type and then by Status, because Type is in this list above Status.
� Select the Prioritycolumn and click to move it up below ID
� Name the view
� Click to save andapply the viewThe view is then available for this user for selection in the View icon menu
Setup the Task Listusing Views
� Further functions for Task Views include:
– Select from many more task properties defined in the system setup, e.g. to show and group the task list by network hierarchies like Regions, Clusters
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence.
like Regions, Clusters
– Manage Views... to list all viewsand to edit or delete them
27
Task List – Filter
� Filters can reduce the number of listed tasks.
� Without a filter (or scope), all tasks are listed.
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence.
� Below the task list, there is a link to the applied Filter.
– If no filter is applied, then there is a link to creating a filter.
– If the list is filtered the Filter icon has a green check mark, otherwise not
28
Setup the Task Listusing Filters
� Create an individual Filter for the Task list with:
– a condition on a task property or
– combined conditions on several properties.
For example: Filter for my own tasks.
� Click the Filters icon and select Create Filter...
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence. 29
� Click the Filters icon and select Create Filter...
� Name the filter
� Set the Field Assigned To to equal your login name.
� Add e.g. conditions to only show tasks that are not closed or just closed within the last 3 days.
– Click to add a row
– Use to logically group the selected rows
� Click to save and apply the filterThe filter is then available for this user for selection in the Filter icon menu
Task List – Scope
� Scopes (e.g. areas) can narrow down the listed tasks.
� Without a selected scope (or filter), all tasks are listed.
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence.
� Below the task list, there is a link to the selected Scope.
– If no scope is selected (i.e. scope is „Entire Network“), then there is a link to selecting a scope.
30
Setup the Task Listusing Scopes
� Set an individual Scope for the Task list by:
– selecting an area.
For example: Set the scope top my cluster.
Copyright © Actix 2010. Commercial in confidence.
� Click the Scope icon and select from Network Areasthe respective cluster
� Click to apply the scopeThe map is then automatically zoomed to the selected area. And only tasks are listed, which relate to sectors in the selected area.
31
Using the Task List
� To select a task
– click on the respective row in the Task List
– click on the Task ID link at the bottom left of the task listand enter the ID
