Frames and Timing
The frames in the different views can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on their headers (grey bars).
The following example illustrates a Site view with one frame expanded and all other frames collapsed.

The first frame header of each view (at the top of the main space, just below the menu and view bar) contains, after the name of the frame:
• | a tooltip ![]() |

• | a date and time area ![]() |
• | a drop-down list: allows choosing the time span: |
• | min: evolution quadrants display 3 hours of per minute* information and you can scroll in the past; the flows list displays values averaged over one minute*, |
All views (unless frozen) are automatically refreshed every minute*.
Note: * The period can also be 5 or 15 minutes, if the Collect period has been set to 5 or 15 minutes respectively.
• | hour: evolution quadrants display up to 3 days of hourly aggregated information; the flows list displays values averaged over one hour; |
All views (unless frozen) are automatically refreshed every hour.
