Reloading pre-defined views
126 Perceive Getting Started
Task 1: Activate the package
Administrators make the newly supported data source types available by selecting
Manage Packages from the
Administration tab and enabling the package containing
the new data sources. To enable a package, click
Activate in the Action column.
To view additional information on a package, click the package name. The
information is displayed in the area below the package list.
Task 2: Define the data source for the package
When a package is activated, the package name appears in the Data Sources task
category in the scope pane. Each package can have multiple data source types. Define
the data sources you want to use by clicking
New from the Action column. For more
information on defining new data sources, refer to the Perceive online Help for the
Manage Data Sources page. See “Managing data sources” on page 127 for more
information about managing data sources.
Task 3: Building the views
Once you have activated a package, its set of pre-defined views is shown in the Build
Views
tab. To enable the views for the consumer, select the checkbox next to the view,
or create a new view and select the specific metrics you want for that view.
Administrators should not mix metrics from different packages in the same view.
For more information on building and activating views for the new data sources,
refer to the Perceive online help for the
Manage Packages page.
For more information on building views, see Chapter 3, “Building custom views.”
