The 'path' parameter (optional)

This parameter specifies a path within the Performance Dashboard process hierarchy. It enables the relevant level (process group) to be displayed immediately when the Performance Dashboard is called up.

The parameter is added to the Web application URL as follows:

path=\<Dashboard name>\<Name of top level process group>\<Name of a process>\<Names of other subordinate processes>

The process group that is subordinate to the last process specified will be displayed. Optionally, the name of this process group can be specified in the last section of the parameter value. If you did not indicate any process, i.e., you specified only the name of the Performance Dashboard and the top-level process group, this is the only group displayed (without the other process groups at the same level). If the path is specified incorrectly, an error message is displayed and the Performance Dashboard root is displayed.

As an alternative to a back slash (\), you can also use a forward slash (/) as separator within the path.
