Repository Status Report Widget

The Repository Status Report widget is used to show the validation level or error status of a repository’s records. Clicking on a displayed status will cause a Repository View to open that shows the records in the repository that have that status.

The Repository Status Report widget can also be configured to show the frequency of record updates that occurred over a specified interval.

If the Repository Status Report widget is configured to show only the current status of a repository, when a status indicator is clicked, a Repository View will open for that repository and it will only show records with that status.

If the widget is configured to show both record status and the frequency of record updates, one graph will be displayed over the other. You may need to scroll down or resize your widget so both graphs are displayed.
