Microsoft System Center 2016 Service Manager Cookbook - Second Edition

Creating a view to display the problem records created in the last 30 days

Views are used everywhere in the Service Manager console to display objects of a certain class and for a given criteria. If you take a look at the views for the problem management process, there are a few predefined views, as follows:

• Active Known Errors
• Active Problems
• Closed Problems
• My Problems
• Needing Review
• Resolved Problems

These are all good and useful views, but there's a good chance that you might want to create a couple of additional views. For instance, you might want a view that shows all the problem records that have been created in the last 30 days, regardless of their status.
