Views and reports haven’t changed much since vRealize Operations 6.0, but one new feature worth mentioning is the ability to specify an Absolute Date Range for views.
To understand what Absolute Date Range is, let’s consider the following use case. You have a customer that wants a monthly report, meaning no matter when the report was run in vRealize Operations, they wanted it to be for the last whole month or quarter.
Now, there are two new things that can help you achieve that goal; the Absolute Date Range, which lets you specify the absolute time for this view, and the ability to understand the selections made. As can be seen, I have chosen one month back and I can verify my selection by looking at the "currently selected data range".
