# Flows Period

The **Flows Period** card shows the trend of flows over a given period.

Given a time frame, the graph shows on the Y-axis the number of flows, or bytes, or the time it has taken to transfer flows, both successful, failed, and in error.

For detailed instructions on how to create this card, refer to [Create a Card](/panorama-2.0.1/cards/create-a-card.md).

The figure above shows the **Flows Period** bar chart, which displays two types of bars:

* **Green bars** representing successful transfers
* **Red bars** representing failed transfers

Each bar corresponds to a specific time unit on the **X‑axis**, while the **Y‑axis** displays the aggregated metric (count, size, or time), depending on the selected view.&#x20;

The label on the X‑axis changes dynamically based on the dashboard’s time filter set at the top-right of Panorama, in the calendar option ![](/files/1BKpR3xQg533A71NrdRZ):

* **Hourly:** time (minutes)
* **Daily:** time (hours)
* **Weekly:** days of the week
* **Monthly:** days of the month
* **Yearly:** months

The Y‑axis label updates according to the selected sheet:

* **Count:** displays the *Total transfers*
* **Bytes:** displays the *Total size*
* **Time:** displays the *Total time*

In the example shown, the X‑axis represents **days of the month**, and the Y‑axis is set to **Total time**, as indicated by the highlighted selection in the upper‑right corner (“Count”, “Bytes”, “Time”).

If you move the mouse over the bar, a tooltip with detailed data will be displayed. Clicking on the highlighted graph column opens the **Flows** details window described in [Table view](#table-view) below.&#x20;

## Card menu options

Clicking the 3 dots button in the upper right corner of the card, the following options will appear.

<figure><img src="/files/GEwpEoDU6AQjDkKPkijB" alt="" width="135"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Settings

* **Show incomplete Flows**: When enabled (default), incomplete flows are included in the metrics. A flow is considered incomplete when it has pending activities and has not reached a final execution state. To show only completed flows, disable the toggle and click **Apply**.&#x20;
* **Show outcome**: This option controls whether the success/error outcome of each flow is shown in the chart. It is enabled by default and outcome indicators (i.e., success and error) are visible. When the toggle is **disabled**, the cart is shown as in the following figure. &#x20;

### Filter

This option allows you to use filters to refine the data displayed on the card:

* **Filename**: Enter the name of the file whose transferred flows you want to analyze.
* **Outcome**: Select **SUCCESS**, **FAILURE**, or **ERROR**. To remove an outcome filter, click the red **X**. You can create multiple cards to compare different outcomes.
* **Source**: Filter flows originating from a specific source.
* **Destination**: Filter flows delivered to a specific destination.

Click **Reset** to restore the default settings.

If one or more filters are applied, a **funnel icon** appears in the upper‑right corner of the card. Clicking the funnel displays all active filters. Click the **pencil icon** to open the Filters window and edit filters directly.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes:**

* Editable filter fields (for example, Filename, Source, and Destination) are **case‑insensitive**.
* Wildcard characters are **not supported**.
  {% endhint %}

### Export CSV

This option allows you to export the list of results immediately or schedule an automatic export as a **zipped .csv file**.

#### Export tab

This option performs a one‑time export:

1. Select the **time range** of the data to be exported. The time range displayed is the global dashboard time range shown at the top-right of the application: ![](/files/CxvKzFZKKbMFTBvB6zxv)
   * Adjust the **From** and **To** dates by clicking the calendar, selecting a new date, and clicking **APPLY**.
2. Any active filters are displayed.
   * To remove all filters, click **Reset**. In this case, only the selected **Period** is applied.
3. Optionally, enable **email notification** to be informed when the export is completed. To receive email notifications, the following conditions must be met:
   * The [Mail Sender](/panorama-2.0.1/setup-and-configuration/plugins-configuration/mail-sender.md) plugin is configured.
   * The [user's email address](/panorama-2.0.1/setup-and-configuration/users-and-roles-setup/manage-users.md) is specified in the **Email** field.

#### Schedule export tab

This option automatically exports data on a recurring basis.

1. Choose the export frequency by selecting **Daily**, **Weekly**, or **Monthly** in the **Scheduling type** field.
2. Any active filters are displayed.
   * To remove all filters, click **Reset**. In this case, only the selected **Period** is applied.
3. Optionally, enable email notification to be informed when the export is completed.&#x20;
   * Enter a valid email address and click the **+** button to confirm.

### **Table view**

This option opens the **Flows** window, showing a drill-down of the items in the card.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Any filters applied to the card are automatically applied to the **Flows** window.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/GNnaH5JQxqW9ACpQkMoy" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Flows window&#x20;

The **Flows** window is a drill‑down view that allows you to explore the data behind a card in detail.&#x20;

When you open the **Flows** window - from the Table view option or by clicking a bar in the histogram - it displays **exactly the same dataset used to generate the card**. Any filters applied to the card (such as outcome, source, or destination) are automatically carried over, ensuring data consistency between the card and the detailed view.

In the **Flows** window:

* The **Export** button at the top-left allows you to export **only the list currently displayed**, based on the applied filter (Success / Error / All / filename).
* Each view displays flow **details** such as Name, Sources, Destinations, Partners, Protocols, Start/End time, File information, Size, and Result.
* **Columns** can be configured by clicking the <img src="/files/UoZ0CF3MHuG4ahDCDGGd" alt="" data-size="line"> icon on the top-right corner. Columns cannot be sorted but the list can be exported in CSV format. Removing columns will not remove them from the exported file.&#x20;
* A **search edit box** can be used to filter results by filename. The edit box is **case‑insensitive** and wildcard characters are **not supported**. The entire filename must be entered.&#x20;
* A **toolbar** allows you to easily navigate through results.

## Export data

You can export data in several ways:

* **From the card menu**, by selecting **Export CSV** or **Table view**:
  * **Export CSV** exports the full dataset for the selected time range. Any applied filters will be shown in the **Filters** section.
  * **Table view** opens a drill‑down view; using **Export** from there exports only the data currently displayed, including any applied filters, shown in the **Filters** section.
* **From the Flows window**, by clicking **Export**.
  * Only the currently visible dataset is exported. Any applied filters will be shown in the **Filters** section.

In all cases:

* The **time range** can be adjusted in the **Period** section.
* Applied filters are shown in the **Filters** section.
* To export the entire dataset without filters, click the ![](/files/8pVz3r95CdlJqYLE3qla) chip to remove all filters.
