Previewing the TreeSet
From the TreeSet Definition properties you can test the TreeSet.
For example, you can test the Organization TreeSet Definition.
To preview the TreeSet:
1. Access the TreeSet Definition properties.
2. Display its Preview page.
3. (If needed) In the Parameters section, define the parameters:
(if collection parameter-based TreeSet Definition) in the <Collection Parameter GUIName> field, click Connect and connect the MetaClass item required.
Example: in the Org-Unit field, which is the Collection Parameter GUIName, connect "CIO".
(if property parameters are used) enter the parameter values.
4. (If needed, to get more space for the report) In the Parameters section title, click to reduce the section.
5. Click Apply Parameters.
The TreeSet is displayed as a TreeTable renderer type.
Three levels of the tree are expanded by default.
Ex.: this TreeSet is based on the CIO Org-Unit and displays for each Org-Unit child its Internal/External and Org-Unit Type values.
6. From the TreeSet, click Instant Report to create instant report of the following types:
Breakdown
Dendrogram
TreeTable
TreeMap
Generating Instant Reports from a TreeSet
From the Preview page of the TreeSet Definition, you can generate instant reports of the following rendering types:
Breakdown
Dendrogram
TreeTable
TreeMap
Objects from a Data Reading access not accessible to the user are not displayed in the report.
The Instant report is generated with a Configuration pane, which enables to modify the report configuration.
Breakdown
With the Breakdown type report, properties (when defined) are not displayed.
To generate a breakdown type report:
1. Access the TreeSet Definition.
2. From its Preview page, click Instant Report and select Breakdown.
By default, at opening, the breakdown map displays:
a maximum of three levels of Components
no items
E.g.: this Breakdown map is based on "Account Management", "Accounts V2.0", and "APPCO.COM" applications, which all have a ranking of 5 stars. For each of them, its Technologies are displayed.
3. To handle the breakdown map:
In the Levels field, select the required level.
In the Show field, click the arrow and select the items you want to display.
E.g.: select Org-Unit and Risk.
4. In the Configuration section, you can modify the Properties displayed:
for the property you do not want to display in the TreeMap, clear its Selected check box.
Click Apply.
*In the Breakdown report, click Refresh to see your modifications.
5. Save the Breakdown map to create a Report Template or a Tree View.
Dendrogram
With the Dendrogram type report, properties (when defined) are displayed on object in a pop-up window.
To create a Dendrogram type report:
1. Access the TreeSet Definition.
E.g.: this TreeSet Definition is based on an Org-Unit and displays for each Org-Unit child its Internal/External and Org-Units Type values.
 
2. From its Preview page, click Instant Report and select Dendrogram.
By default, the dendrogram displays three levels.
3. To view the Properties (if any): hover the cursor over a node.
Example: hover the cursor over "Marketing Departement", its "Internal/External" and "Org-Unit Type" values are displayed in a pop-up window.
4. In the Configuration section, you can modify the display:
Modify the number of expanded levels at opening: in the Nb of levels at opening, select the required number.
Reorganize the property order in the pop-up window: click Reorganize, and drag and drop the properties so as to get another display order, and click OK.
Click Apply and Refresh the report.
5. To handle the dendrogram:
Click a node to hide its daughter branches.
Example: click "Risk Department" and "Marketing Department" nodes, their daughter branches are hidden.
Below the graph, click Options to:
- reduce/increase the space between the nodes
- reduce the label length
Use the mouse wheel to zoom in (/out) the graphic.
6. Save the Dendrogram to create a Report Template or a Tree View.
TreeMap
With the TreeMap type report, properties (when defined) are displayed on object in a pop-up window.
To create a TreeMap type report:
1. Access the TreeSet Definition.
2. From its Preview page, click Instant Report and select TreeMap.
By default, the TreeMap displays only one level at opening.
E.g.: this TreeMap is based on "Account Management", "Accounts V2.0", and "APPCO.COM" applications, which all have a ranking of 5 stars.
3. To view the Properties (if any): hover the cursor over a box.
Its properties are displayed in a pop-up window.
Example: hover the cursor over "Windows Services" Software Technology, its "Techno Code" and "End of suppport" values are displayed in a pop-up window.
4. In the Configuration pane, you can modify:
the number of levels displayed at opening: in the Nb of levels at opening, select the required number.
the Properties displayed: for the property you do not want to display in the TreeMap, clear its Selected check box.
Click Apply.
*In the TreeTable report, click Refresh to see your modifications.
5. To handle the TreeTable, above the TreeTable:
modify the Number of displayed levels
modify the Display criterion (when available)
For example: display Applications according to their "Cost" ("Accounts V2.0": 45.000, "Account Management": 1.000, "APPCO.com": 5.000)
- with 1 displayed level to see only the applications
- with 2 displayed levels (so that their Technologies are displayed).
6. Save the TreeMap to create a Report Template or a Tree View.
TreeTable
With the TreeTable type report, properties (when defined) define the Column headers of the table.
To create a TreeTable type report:
1. Access the TreeSet Definition.
Ex. 1: this TreeSet Definition is based on an Org-Unit and displays for each Org-Unit child its Internal/External and Org-Units Type values.
Ex. 2: this TreeSet Definition is based on the Applications that have a 5-star ranking, and displays for each of them its Technologies, and for each of its Technologies its Vendor and Risks.
It also displays Properties: "Application Type" and "Cost" values of each application, and "Techno Code" and "End of support" date of each technology.
2. From its Preview page, click Instant Report and select TreeTable.
By default, the TreeTable displays three levels.
It displays the objets in rows and the properties in columns.
E.g. 1: this TreeSet is based on the CIO Org-Unit.
E.g. 2: this TreeSet is based on "Account Management", "Accounts V2.0", and "APPCO.COM" applications, which all have a ranking of 5 stars.
*In this case the root folder counts for one level (as the root TreeSet Collection is populated by several objects, i.e. the 3 applications).
3. In the Configuration pane, you can modify:
the number of levels displayed at opening: in the Nb of levels at opening, select the required number.
the Properties displayed: for the property you do not want to display in the TreeTable, clear its Selected check box.
Click Apply.
*In the TreeTable report, click Refresh to see your modifications.
4. Save the TreeTable to create a Report Template or a Tree View.
