Profiles Dialog

To access the Filter/Sort dialog functionality:

  1. Select the protocol in the Network Diagnostics view.
  2. Select the Filter/Sort drop-down menu on the Network Overview or drill-down grid view tool bar.
  3. A dialog window opens. Here you can define a sorting/filtering profile.

When the Profiles window opens, the last applied profile is loaded by default.

A filtering or sorting profile includes all the statistics filtering/sorting settings needed to refine the filtering/sorting process.

Default profiles can be modified and applied, but cannot be deleted or overwritten on the disk. If willing to keep a modified default profile, you must rename and save it.

When a profile is selected, its settings are automatically loaded in the Profiles window. The profile can be modified by changing the settings within it. When a profile is modified, an exclamation mark appears next to the profile name, informing you that you are not applying the original profile, but a modified one. You can save the modified profile by selecting Save or Save As.

If you modify a profile and then select another one or close the Profiles dialog by selecting OK, a dialog box appears, asking you whether you want to save the profile.

To save a profile in a location of your choice, select Export.

To load a profile from a specific location, select Import.

To add a new profile or delete an existing one, select Add or Delete.

The Data polling interval option allows you to choose the interval at which the data is updated in the views created using this profile.

If the check box is not selected when the Profiles window opens, the view displays the first set of data it receives, without updating itself with subsequent information.

The auto update option is also available on the view tool bar. Enabling/disabling it from the view tool bar causes the profile to be marked as modified.

In the Max results field, you can select the maximum number of statistics to display. The default value is 50.

The Max results field is active only if the filtering or sorting options are enabled.

You can select to drill down either to the Per Range level or to the Per Session level by selecting the corresponding Drill-Down Per Range or Drill-Down Per Session radio button.

The Profiles window includes the Filter/Sort tab and the Presentation tab.
