Your Responsibility for Your System’s Security
Toll fraud is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications
system by an unauthorized party, for example, persons other
than your company’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or
persons working on your company’s behalf. Note that there may
be a risk of toll fraud associated with your telecommunications
system and, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial
additional charges for your telecommunications services.
You and your system manager are responsible for the security
of your system, such as programming and configuring your
equipment to prevent unauthorized use. The system manager is
also responsible for reading all installation, instruction, and
system administration documents provided with this product in
order to fully understand the features that can introduce risk of
toll fraud and the steps that can be taken to reduce that risk.
Lucent Technologies does not warrant that this product is
immune from or will prevent unauthorized use of commoncarrier telecommunication services or facilities accessed
through or connected to it. Lucent Technologies will not be
responsible for any charges that result from such unauthorized
use.

Types of Installation

1

There are several ways of installing the CentreVu Supervisor software. This
manual discusses the following methods:
●

Local installation. With this type of installation, all of the Supervisor
software is installed locally on each PC from a CD-ROM or from a
network server. When installing from the network, the network
administrator first copies the Supervisor installation files to a shared
installation folder that resides on the network. Then, the user runs a client
setup from the installation folder to install Supervisor to disk space local to
the PC. See Chapter 2, “Installing CentreVu Supervisor on a Local PC,” for
details.

●

Shared network installation. With this type of installation, the CentreVu
Supervisor application software is installed to a shared application folder
on the network server, but user-specific files and logs are stored in a
Supervisor folder on each user’s PC or on their own network drive. See
Chapter 3, “Installing CentreVu Supervisor on a Shared Network Drive,”
for details.

Introduction
CMS System Capacities
1-13

CMS System Capacities

1

The CMS system capacities are unchanged by the Supervisor software. If you
are putting your CentreVu Supervisor users on a LAN, then your network must
support the additional network traffic.

Number of Supervisor Windows Allowed

1

Supervisor allows users to open as many as 12 windows simultaneously. This
limit is set for each user by the CMS system administrator. Windows that do not
directly use CMS data, such as the color customization data, are not included in
this limit. Windows that have been opened for other applications also are not
included in this limit.
The Supervisor application can connect to a single CMS. Supervisor does not
provide the capability to combine data from more than one CMS.

Number of Simultaneous Instances Allowed

1

With the recommended configuration listed in “What You Need on Your PC”
on page 1-10, you can run as many as four simultaneous Supervisor instances.
With an Intel 486-compatible processor, you are limited to one instance of
Supervisor with one report.
With Windows 95, you are limited to one instance of Supervisor with six reports
running or four instances of Supervisor with one report each.
The ability to launch several instances and their performance depends upon the
memory and speed of the PC, and the other applications active on the PC. If
simultaneous Supervisor instances are running in the background, additional
memory may be required to maintain acceptable performance.

CentreVu Supervisor Version 8 Installation and Getting Started
Introduction
CMS System Capacities
1-14

Number of PCs Allowed to Run Supervisor

1

The number of PCs running CentreVu Supervisor is limited by the number of
simultaneous users contracted for in the site-licensing agreement with Lucent.
The CMS software will count the number of active CentreVu Supervisor clients
that are logged in, and limit the number of simultaneous users to the number
purchased by the customer.
A client may be logged into a CMS server once per user ID on a single PC.

Performance

1

When you are using Supervisor you may experience slightly slower response
times for some actions. This could be for a variety of reasons. The following are
a few possible reasons for slower performance:
●

The PC’s configuration, processor speed, Level 2 cache, hard disk speed,
and video RAM could affect the response time.

●

If the Supervisor application is running simultaneously with other
applications, performance of the Supervisor application could be affected
by those other applications.

●

Two or more Supervisor instances running simultaneously could result in
slightly slower than user response time.

●

If Supervisor is running in a LAN environment, Supervisor will generate
additional network traffic. For example, if 250 Supervisor instances were
running two real-time reports each, then Supervisor could require
approximately 20% of the LAN’s capacity. Therefore, ensure that your
LAN has been engineered appropriately.

●

In a LAN environment, network backups could cause congestion on the
network, adversely affecting its performance.

Reliability/Availability
If serial links or LAN connectivity drop, the Supervisor application will
automatically attempt to restore the connection if you logged in using the
Automatic Login capability.

Security
When Supervisor is connected to CMS, the same level of security is afforded to
you as with a dedicated CMS terminal. The existing CMS permissions structure
will be honored. When you are using Supervisor on a LAN, you will be able to
access only the information that is available in a direct-connect environment.

Installing CentreVu Supervisor to a shared application folder is a two-step
process that consists of the following:
●

Performing the network setup

●

Performing a client setup at each client PC.

The network setup expands all program files and all language options into the
network directory. In addition, this setup transfers a client setup program and its
associated files to the network directory. You can do this setup from either the
network installation folder or from a CD-ROM.
The client setup program allows clients to access Supervisor from the network
server. Client setup creates a folder on the client PC. The icons in the folder
point to the executable files on the application server. In addition, client setup
allows you to identify where you want to put the user-specific files (these files
can be located on the client’s local drive or on the network).
NOTE:
For installation requirements, see “Other Requirements” on page 1-11.

Network Setup

To perform a network setup, you must have administrative privileges on a
workstation that is running Windows. Then do the following:
1.

Log on to the PC as a user with administrative privileges.

2.

Before starting the installation, close all running programs on the PC.

3.

Create a folder on the network drive to hold the Supervisor application
files, and make it read-only and shared.

4.

Verify that the network drive containing the application folder is connected
to each client PC.

Establishing CentreVu CMS Server Connection
Settings
You must establish connection settings in order to connect to the CMS server. If
you have already established connection settings, go to the following sections:
●

“Logging Into the CMS Server — First Time” on page 5-9

●

“Logging Into CMS Server — After First Time” on page 5-10.

There are three connection options:
●

Network

●

Serial

●

Modem.

You can set these options to connect to the CMS server one of two ways:
●

Automatic—used to login to the CMS server directly from Supervisor

●

Manual—used to login to the CMS server by way of the server’s Solaris*
system. You would use manual login for the following reasons:
— You need to access cmssvc and cmsadm menus
— You are instructed to do so for troubleshooting purposes
— Your version of Supervisor resides in a different Solaris system than
the CMS server.
NOTE:
For more information about your Solaris system, see your Solaris system
administrator.

Now you are ready to open Supervisor and establish a connection to the CMS
server. See “Opening the CentreVu Supervisor Application” on page 5-3.

Tables—the Supervisor presentation of standard CMS reports

●

Charts — the Supervisor presentation of graphical reports.

A report can consist of only a table/tables, only a chart/charts, or a combination
of tables and charts.
In addition to the tables and charts that make up the main body of reports,
reports can include text and field names that are followed by single data items.
Text and data fields are used on both table and chart reports.
The following sections describe each type of report layout.

Formatting Table Reports

7

If you are in a report containing a table, you can format how the report is
displayed using the Table Format Options window.
NOTE:
The changes you make to a report’s format affect only your view of the report.
The changes do not affect how other CMS users see the report.
Use one of the following methods to access the Table Format Options window:
●

Double click on a column heading in the report.

●

Select Format Table or Sort by from the Format menu or the right mouse
button pop-up menu.
NOTE:
The Table Format Options window allows you to make layout changes to a
table. All changes you make are saved as part of the report view when the
report exits.
If you select Sort by, the Table Format Options window displays with the
Sort tab active. If you select Format Table, the Table Format Options
window displays with the General tab active.

The following sections describe the General and Sort tabs.

The following table parameters can be changed:
●

Show Gridlines—specifies whether or not table lines are to be shown in
the table.

●

Fixed Region, Columns—specifies the number of columns from the left
of the table that are fixed in place and do not scroll. Valid values are in the
range of 0 through 99. You can use the spin boxes to select a valid value or
type in the value.

●

Fixed Region, Rows—specifies the number of rows from the top of the
table that are fixed in place and do not scroll. Valid values are in the range
of 0 through 99. You can use the spin boxes to select a valid value or type
in the value.

1. Sort By Criteria Drop-Down Lists
2. Sort Order

When you are setting up display order for a real-time report, specify the sort
column (Sort By) and the sort order (Ascending or Descending). The dropdown list for the Sort By lists all of the database table and item names used in
the report.

CentreVu Supervisor Version 8 Installation and Getting Started
Using CentreVu Supervisor Reports

Some examples of sorting follow:
●

Viewing a list of agents alphabetically—select “Agent Name” from the
first Sort By drop-down list, select Ascending as the sort order, and leave
the other two Sort By boxes set to “(none).”

●

Searching for agents who have been in a certain state for too long— select
“State” from the first Sort By drop-down list, then select “Time” from the
second Sort By drop-down list, and then select Descending as the sort order
for the second Sort By.

Sorting may cause report refreshes to take longer. If you wish to speed up the
refresh rate, turn off the sort options by selecting “(none)” for all of the Sort By
criteria.

Formatting Chart Reports

Formatting Chart Reports
Charts (found in graphical reports) provide a graphical representation of data.
Values or data points are displayed in formats such as bars, lines, filled areas,
and pie charts. These data points are grouped into series that are identified with
unique colors.
In many chart types, one data point from each series is grouped together by
category across an axis. Categories are plotted along the x-axis, while values
are plotted along the y-axis. A two-dimensional chart shows series next to each
other, while a three-dimensional chart plots series along the z-axis. A chart can
also have a title and a legend.
If you are in a graphical (chart) report, you can format how the report is
displayed. The changes you make to a report’s format affect only your view of
the report. The changes do not affect how other CMS users see the report.
To format a chart report, selecting Format Chart or Sort by from the Format
menu list or the right mouse button pop-up menu. The Chart Format Options
window appears.
The Chart Format Options window has seven tabs: General, 3D Effects, Axis,
Type, Title, Legend, and Data Labels. The following sections describe each of
the tabs.

7

CentreVu Supervisor Version 8 Installation and Getting Started
Using CentreVu Supervisor Reports

7-29

General Tab
The General tab allows you to specify several general options that apply to the
chart.

You can change the following chart parameters:
●

Background Color—specifies whether the backdrop of the chart is a solid
color or whether it is displayed as a gradient, a smooth transition from one
color to another. The gradient transition can be one of the following:
Horizontal, Vertical, Rectangle, or Oval. The quality of the gradient
effect will vary depending on the video card installed in the PC, or the
capabilities of the printer for printed reports.

●

Real-Time—if the chart is a rolling chart, you can specify the number of
data points to be displayed in the chart. Permitted values are 2 through 100,
with 10 being the default. A rolling chart is a line chart that is initially
displayed with no data points. For each refresh of the report, a data point is
added. As data points are added, the chart “rolls” from left to right. When
enough refreshes have occurred so that the chart is displaying the number
of specified data points, at the next refresh, the oldest data point is dropped
from the display and the newest data point is displayed.

3D Effects Tab

7

The 3D Effects tab allows you to control the 3D appearance of the chart. If the
current chart is a 2D chart, this tab is disabled.

The following chart parameters can be changed:
●

Elevation—a number from 0 through 90 degrees that describes the relative
height from which a chart is viewed. An elevation of 90 looks directly
down on the top of the chart, while an elevation of 0 looks directly at the
side of the chart. The example charts throughout this document use an
elevation of 30 degrees.

●

Rotation—a number from -360 through 360 degrees that specifies the
angle that the chart is turned relative to the viewing position. The example
charts throughout this document use a rotation of 60 degrees. Rotation does
not apply to 3D pie charts.

CentreVu Supervisor Version 8 Installation and Getting Started
Using CentreVu Supervisor Reports
Formatting Chart Reports
7-31
●

Projection—selects one of three mathematical algorithms used to give a
3D appearance on a 2D sheet of paper or computer screen. You can choose
the following values:
— Oblique: The chart has depth but the X-Y plane does not change when
the chart is rotated or elevated.
— Orthogonal: Perspective is not applied to the chart, resulting in less of
a 3D effect. The advantage of using this type of projection is that
vertical lines remain vertical, making some charts easier to read.
— Perspective: This provides the most realistic 3D appearance. Objects
farther away from you converge toward a vanishing point.

●

Viewing Distance—a number from 50 through 1000 that represents the
distance from which the chart is viewed as a percentage of the depth of the
chart.

●

Width to Height—a number from 5 through 2000 that represents the
percentage of the chart’s height that is used to draw the chart’s width.

●

Depth to Height—a number from 5 through 2000 that represents the
percentage of the chart’s height that is used to draw the chart’s depth.

See “Rotating a 3D Chart” on page 7-46 for an easy way to change the elevation
and rotation of a chart using the mouse.

Type Tab
The Type tab lets you change the chart type.

The available options on the Type tab are as follows:
●

2D and 3D—changes the chart between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional
views. 2D charts update faster than 3D charts, so if the drawing speed
seems too slow, you may want to display charts as 2D.

●

Chart Type—specifies how the data is presented. You choose a chart type
from the list. The types of charts available vary slightly depending on
whether a 2D or 3D chart has been selected. All possible chart types are as
follows:
— Bar Chart (2D and 3D)
— Line Chart (2D and 3D)
— Area Chart (2D and 3D)
— Step Chart (2D and 3D)

When you resize a Supervisor report output window, the resulting effect
depends on the type of report (standard CMS or graphical) you are running. The
following paragraphs outline the effects of resizing each type of report window.

Standard CMS Reports

7

When you resize the window of a standard report, the contents of the window
do not change in size to reflect the new window size.
If you made the window smaller than the size of the report, scroll bars will
appear to allow you to view the entire contents of the report.

Graphical Reports
When you resize the window of a graphical report, the contents of the window
will change in size to reflect the new window size.
If a window is made too small, some elements may shrink in such a way to
become unreadable. If this happens, resize the window to a more appropriate
size. You may also choose to turn chart legends or data labels off to make more
room for the chart itself.
The window size is saved as part of the report view.

Setting Report Threshold Highlights

7

Report threshold highlights let you set visual flags to notify you when a realtime data item is out of acceptable bounds. This feature enables you to run a
report minimized and be notified (through color/icon changes) when an item
has passed a specific threshold.
You can set threshold highlights for only real-time data items in real-time or
integrated reports. The threshold highlights you set will tell you when data for
an entity (split/skill, agent, agent group, or VDN) has reached a certain level
(threshold), as defined by you.
Threshold highlight settings apply to a single entity on a specific ACD. For
example, if you run a real-time split report for split 17 on ACD 1 and set the
threshold highlights, the threshold settings apply to split 17 on ACD 1 for all
reports you run for that split and ACD. Also, the threshold highlight settings are
saved on the PC you are currently using. So, if you move to another PC, you
need to set up the threshold highlights on that PC. If multiple users log into the
same PC, each user’s threshold highlight settings are saved individually.
By default, the thresholds for each report are turned on, but the threshold
highlight settings are empty and the sample size threshold is zero. Therefore, no
threshold highlights show on any reports until you create them using the
Threshold Settings window. You can turn thresholds on and off for each report
by selecting/deselecting the Thresholds Settings check box in the report input
window, or by selecting Threshold Settings from the Options menu in the
report output window.
An example of setting report threshold highlights is to set thresholds for Time
on ACD Calls in the skill named Sales. You might set the High Caution
threshold to 50 seconds and the High Warning threshold to 60 seconds. If an
agent spends more than 50 seconds, but less than 60 seconds, on an ACD call in
the Sales skill, the item on the report will highlight with the High Caution
threshold color. If the time exceeds 60 seconds, the item on the report will
highlight with the High Warning threshold color. However, if the agent spends
more than 50 seconds on an ACD call in any other skill (that does not have the
same thresholds), the item on the report will not display any threshold
highlighting.

NOTE:
Report threshold highlights are not the same as CMS Exceptions Thresholds.
The threshold highlighting you can do with this feature is available through the
Supervisor interface only.
To set report threshold highlights do the following steps:
1.

Run a report that contains real-time data (a real-time or integrated report)

2.

Select on a data item in the report for which you can set threshold
highlights
NOTE:
When a data item/items for which threshold highlights can be set is
selected, the Threshold Settings menu item is enabled. When the data item
that is selected does not allow thresholds, an error message will display.
See the tables later in this section for a list of the report outputs that allow
threshold highlighting.

Select Threshold Settings from the right mouse button or from the Tools
menu.

The Threshold Settings window includes the following information and text
boxes:
●

Item — shows the name of the report threshold that applies to the selected
data value. In most cases, this box contains a single entry. If the data value
is agent “Time in State” or “Time in Workmode,” or agent group “Time in
State” or “Time in Workmode,” then this list box contains multiple names,
one for each possible agent state or workmode. Threshold highlights can be
set for each individual state and workmode.

●

Description — shows a description of the threshold currently selected.

●

Thresholds — shows the colors (as defined in the Options Threshold
Colors tab, accessed from the Tools menu), icons, and current numerical
settings for the threshold highlights of this item. For thresholds that are
time-related, the numbers you enter are in seconds. For example, if you are
entering a High Caution threshold for three minutes, type 180 (for 180
seconds) in the High Caution field.
— Low Warning — contains the current value for the Low Warning
threshold for the selected data item. If no value is defined, the field is
blank. You can set the value to any positive integer from 0 to
999,999,999 or leave it blank. If the field is blank, no threshold is set.
— Low Caution — contains the current value for the Low Caution
threshold for the selected data item. If no value is defined, the field is
blank. You can set the value to any positive integer from 0 to
999,999,999 or leave it blank. If the field is blank, no threshold is set.
— High Caution — contains the current value for the High Caution
threshold for the selected data item. If no value is defined, the field is
blank. You can set the value to any positive integer from 0 to
999,999,999 or leave it blank. If the field is blank, no threshold is set.
— High Warning — contains the current value for the High Warning
threshold for the selected data item. If no value is defined, the field is
blank. You can set the value to any positive integer from 0 to
999,999,999 or leave it blank. If the field is blank, no threshold is set.

●

Sample Size — contains the current value for the Sufficient Sample Size
value. You can set this to any value from 0 to 999. When you set Sufficient
Sample Size value, you are defining a minimum number of items that must
be currently tracked before the threshold highlighting is enabled. You will
only see Sample Size if the data item you selected is a percentage or an
average.

Tips for Setting Report Threshold Highlights
Keep the following tips in mind when you are setting report threshold
highlights.
●

Before you can administer threshold highlights for a data item, you must
first click on the data item in the report to select it. When a data item is
highlighted in a table (standard) report, it is outlined with a dotted line.
When a data item is highlighted in a chart (graphical) report, it has “pullbars” around the perimeter.

●

See the “Available Agent Threshold Settings,” “Available Split/Skill
Threshold Settings,” and “Available VDN Threshold Settings” sections in
this chapter for more information on the real-time data items in reports for
which you can set threshold highlights.

●

In standard reports, you can select items from the table or from the output
information at the top of the report.

●

In chart reports, you can select items from the pie charts, bar charts,
graphical reports, or tables.

●

When you set threshold highlights for an entity (split/skill, agent, agent
group, or VDN), that set of threshold highlights applies to every report that
is run specifically for that entity.

●

The report threshold highlights are updated with each refresh of the report,
but not between report refreshes.

●

The numbers you define for the threshold highlights must increase from
left to right (the number you use for Low Warning must be less than the
number you use for High Warning).

●

You can set the label colors by choosing Options from the Tools menu on
the Controller. Depending on how you define the colors, the sample size
threshold can behave in the following ways:
— If you want to be alerted to the fact that a particular calculation is not
statistically significant, set the Insufficient color to a different color
than any other threshold condition. This causes data with insufficient
sample size to be highlighted in a special color.

7

CentreVu Supervisor Version 8 Installation and Getting Started
Using CentreVu Supervisor Reports
Setting Report Threshold Highlights
7-61
— If you want to ignore values with insufficient sample sizes, set the
Insufficient color to be black text on a gray background. This causes
the value with insufficient sample size to not be highlighted.
●

Setting report threshold highlights affects how report data is displayed in
the following ways:
— If the data calculation contains a non-zero Sample Size threshold, the
denominator of the specified calculation is compared to the Sample
Size threshold. If the denominator is less than the Sample Size
threshold, the value displays in the “Insufficient” color, indicating that
the sample size is insufficient for the value to be significant.
— If the sample size is sufficient or if there is no sample size associated
with the data, then the data value is compared to the Low Warning,
Low Caution, High Caution, and High Warning threshold values to
determine which band applies. The value is displayed in the color
associated with the appropriate threshold.

OCX and DLL Incompatibilities

9

The CentreVu Supervisor application as well as other applications on your PC
use OCX and DLL files. Some of the OCXs and DLLs that Supervisor uses
may already exist on the PC because they are used by other applications.
Problems can occur when Supervisor uses existing OCXs and DLLs that are an
incompatible with what Supervisor needs. These problems may appear as
General Protection Faults (GPF), lockups, or other unexpected problems. To
determine if this type of problem exists, do the following steps:
1.

Remove everything from your StartUp group, or hold down the Shift key
and press the L key while starting.

2.

Restart Windows.

3.

Run CentreVu Supervisor (make sure it is the only application running).
NOTE:
If the problem went away, it means that other software loaded on your PC
is using a OCX/DLL that is not compatible with CentreVu Supervisor.

4.

Start running the software that was in the StartUp group.

If you still encounter problems, then you will not be able to run this software at
the same time as you run CentreVu Supervisor. Contact the National Customer
Care Center for assistance.
If you did not encounter problems, it is likely that this software is compatible
with the version of OCX/DLL that CentreVu Supervisor uses.

Windows Swap Files

9

Systems should be running with permanent swap files. This increases
performance during swap file operations.

Installing CentreVu Supervisor
Before you install CentreVu Supervisor, make sure no other application is
running. This includes items that may be in the Windows StartUp group and
items specified via the WIN.INI file load= and run= parameters. Restart
Windows after temporarily moving items from the StartUp group to another
group and after “commenting out” the load= and run= lines of the
WIN.INI file.

Preserving CentreVu Supervisor User Profiles

9

In the event that there is a failure during a new or upgrade Supervisor
installation, the old software can be reinstalled; however, if the user has any
preferences set, these will be lost. Use the following procedure to preserve user
preferences before a new installation or upgrade:
1.

In the Windows* Explorer, locate the Lucent\CentreVu Supervisor folder
(generally under Program Files).

2.

Open the folder and copy the Profiles file tree to another location.

3.

Reinstall or upgrade CentreVu Supervisor.

4.

Copy the saved profiles to the Profiles tree in the new CentreVu Supervisor
installation.

Resolving TCP/IP Host Name
In the event that initial configuration of the TCP/IP server for CentreVu
Supervisor has an error or other problem, use the following procedure to
resolve host name problems:
1.

To ensure that this is the problem, open an MS-DOS prompt or command
prompt in Windows.

2.

Ping the CMS host.
If the host cannot be found, contact your network administrator. If the host
is found, the reply will contain the host’s IP address.

3.

Check that the CMS host entry on the Domain Name Server (DNS) is
correct. If it is wrong or missing, use the IP address returned to you to
correct or create the entry.

4.

Edit the LMHOSTS file on the user PC to include a line for the CMS
server, which is:
server name  IP address

Proper Operation of Networking Software

9

To ensure that the PC networking software is loaded and functional, you should
test the networking connectivity to the target CMS server prior to running
CentreVu Supervisor. To test this functionality, use the network software’s own
ftp/telnet application. If this works, but Supervisor still cannot establish
connection, it is most likely a problem with the WINSOCK.DLL.

Problems with Serial/Modem Connections
If you have a bad serial or modem connection, you will encounter slow data
transfers and frequent loss of the serial connection. The CentreVu Supervisor
controller will report this as a “Serial Connection Broken” error message. If
automatic login was selected, Supervisor will attempt to connect again.
What to check for if you have serial or modem connection problems:
1.

Make sure that the RTS/CTS flow control string is selected in the Options
dialog box.

2.

Check to see if your serial connection to the CMS server or modem is
wired correctly for hardware flow control. For modem connections, make
sure you have the correct cable wiring between the modem and the CMS
server.

3.

Your hardware flow control on the CMS server's serial ports must be on
and functioning properly. Refer to the CentreVu Call Management System
Release 3 Version 5 Sun SPARCserver Computers Installation and
Maintenance (585-215-827) or your SPARCserver documentation for
correct configuration of hardware flow control for your respective serial
communications.

4.

16550A UARTS must be in use on the PC running CentreVu Supervisor.
The following parameters in the [386Enh] section of the PC's
SYSTEM.INI file should be set to:
COMnFIFO=1
Where n is the communications port being used. This will ensure that the
FIFO buffer capability of the communications port will be used.

5.

Some terminal server connections may require the addition of
EscAllCtrl=1 in the [LINK] section of the Centrevu.ini file.

Saving as HTML

A

Overview
The Save as HTML function available with CentreVu Supervisor
Version 8 allows the user to export a snapshot of a report running in CentreVu
Supervisor and save it as an HTML file. Any report generated in CentreVu
Supervisor can be converted to an HTML file. This file can then be stored on a
Web server for viewing on the Internet or an Intranet.
To view the HTML file, your Internet browser must support tables and .gif
graphic files. For example, Netscape Navigator* 3.0 or Microsoft† Internet
Explorer 3.0, or later versions of either, support tables and .gif graphic files.
Here are some points to remember when using the Save as HTML function:
●

Save as HTML does not automatically save the HTML file onto a Web
server. You must copy the HTML file and any associated graphics to the
Internet server you want to use.

●

Save as HTML does not automatically update the HTML for real-time
reports.

the full file path (for example, c:\temp\myrpt.htm) to save the file in a directory
other than the current directory.
If there are charts associated with the file, they are converted into .gif files and
numbered in the order created. For example, c:\temp\myrpt1.gif and
c:\temp\myrpt2.gif.
The output file is created using the templates and fonts you have specified.
After the HTML is saved, you can move or copy it and all associated graphics
files to a Web server directory for viewing on the Internet or an Intranet.

Templates are HTML files that can be created or edited using an HTML or text
editor. A template can be used to provide company logos, background color,
specific fonts, or surrounding text to the HTML file. The templates are limited
by what your Web browser supports. Templates are installed with Save as
HTML.
NOTE:
If you do not select a template, the HTML file displays only the report.

Not Using Templates

If you choose not to use existing templates, Save as HTML does the following:
●

Generates standard surround tags  and  in order for
your report to be converted to HTML

●

Sets the background color white and font color to black

●

Gives the page the same title as the report title.
