Creating templates

A user with the Analyst or Administrator role in CardioLog Analytics can add templates to the various item types within the monitored environments.

CardioLog Analytics report templates are based on system item types. For example, to create a report template for SharePoint sites, select the Site item type.

To determine your item type, see the Entity Type in the item properties (In the Navigation pane, under Analysis Center, click an item in Object Explorer and then select Properties).

  1. In the Navigation pane, under Settings, click Templates to view the system item types.
  2. Click an item and select Add.

Displaying real time data from within your SharePoint portal

The ability to export a CardioLog Analytics report into a SharePoint Web Part (see How to export a report as a Microsoft SharePoint Web Part) is designed in order to display specific usage reports within designated SharePoint pages (for instance, a Wiki site manager who wishes to display a list of the most popular wiki pages on the site's homepage).
When it comes to ad-hoc reporting, you can use the “CardioLog Usage Reports” SharePoint Feature which enables the submission of usage queries directly from your SharePoint portal.
  1. After installing the “CardioLog Usage Reports” SharePoint Feature, each SharePoint page displays (under "Site Actions") a link to CardioLog Analytics usage reports.
  2. Select a desired report template in order to run a real time usage report for the page you are visiting. The report is displayed in a new browser window. The default report is based on the "Site Overview" template and displays real-time data for today.
    For more information see View CardioLog Analytics Reports from SharePoint's "Site Actions" Menu
  3. The system administrator can create published report templates for pages (objects) in the portal. These templates will be available from the portal pages.
