- Given an existing View on the TEP, describe how you can limit the scope of the rows returned from the Query so that a new view has been modified to the requirements of the TEP user.

- Given the user requirement to visualize a specific time frame of monitoring data for a specific server or servers for a specific set of attributes, explain how this time span should be set on the view so that the modified view reflect the new time selection criteria.

- Given the end user requirements for which monitoring data are to be collected, define an attribute group to be collected with its specific settings so that the historical data files will be created at the TEMA or TEMS and data will be sent to the warehouse.

- Given the requirement of TEP administrators to distribute groups of objects (historical configurations and situations) to the same list(s) of systems, use the Object Group Editor to assign these objects in group to managed systems or lists of managed systems so that historical configurations and situations are grouped to the appropriate servers.

- Given the requirement to launch external applications from the TEP client, describe the main features of this function so that the launch feature has been described.
