Time Breakdown
The Time breakdown report displays the top activities in each customizable time frame within a given period. The Time Breakdown Reports wizard has four defining windows:
Dimensions - Include in your report template the entire Instance Level activity or a subset (Specify Activity Filter) of historical (up to three) Dimension data.
Metrics
Select Metrics for Resource: Select here the resource on whose components you want to focus. The chosen metric serves as the initial set of composing metrics to be pane listed time unit in each reporting period.
Show Top <number> <dimensions>: Determines the number of top dimension activities to be displayed. For example, display top five SQL statements.
Sorted By: Determines the metric by which the top results will be sorted (though not selected as the selection is according to the selected resource). The default is always according to the selected resource.
Select from among the potential metric subset those that will appear in the table for each time unit in the reporting period.
Time Range - Select here a Predefined Time Range of a system default or a user-defined permanent range; or define one here by means of a Specific Time Range. Also, specify the data interval Resolution.
