When the navigation pane is collapsed, icons remain so you can still navigate to desired pages:

Expanding content to maximum size

Most content can be expanded to take up the entire License Statistics application window by clicking the "Maximize" icon Image Addedat the upper right corner of the page/area.

Maximizing the content is particularly useful for viewing reports that have a large amount of data, more easily viewing data on a phone or tablet, or setting the view up for a screen capture.

When you expand content to maximum size, the navigation panel and other content of the page, such as selection controls, will not be visible. To return the page to its normal layout, click the "Restore down" icon Image Added at the upper right corner of the page, or press Esc on your keyboard.

Viewing API resources

For most reports (other than Administration reports, which do not support a public API), you can see a preview of the API resources for that report by clicking the "Show API resource" icon at the upper right corner of the report.

After clicking this icon, an API Resource window opens, with details of the API request used to generate the report, including the headers, endpoint and used parameters. You can use this information to facilitate integration with other tools, such as PowerBI, Excel or any other application that you want to allow to access the License Statistics data.

Limiting pick list content

...

The Dashboard, License Server, and Features pages include collapsible areas that let you control how much information is displayed on the page at one time. These areas have a collapse/expand arrow on the right side of the title bar. You can collapse/expand these areas by clicking on the collapse/expand arrow or simply by clicking anywhere on the title bar. (You can also expand/collapse the navigation pane as described above.)

Color coding in graphs and charts

Colors used in graphs and charts help you to immediately see the percentage of licenses being used:

• Red: 90% and above
• Orange: Below 90% and above 70%
• Green: Below 70%

For example, the Utilization column's percentages includes color-coding:

Color-coding is also used for license server "last update time" and feature reservations "last active" information to indicate the number of query intervals elapsed since the last successful query:

Date range

Selections for the date range you want to include in a report differ depending on the report. Date range selections may include:

• Current or Last Year
• Current or Last Quarter
• Current or Last Month
• Current or Last WeekWeek 
• Today
• Yesterday
• Custom (which lets you select a specific start and end date from the calendars)
  

For all selections other than Custom, the range will be set according to the current date, and will adjust dynamically so that the range is always based on the current date, rather than the date upon which the setting was made. 

For example, the following illustration shows that the current year has been "Last Week" selected for report results:. The range moving forward will always reflect "last week" according to the current date, rather than the particular dates effective at the time the option was chosen.
