Working with Reports

Set thresholds

Once you create a report, you may be able to set threshold values on one or more

data attributes in the report. Thresholds enable you to see when certain values

exceed or do not meet expected levels by assigning a color to the display. You can

set report thresholds of newly created and saved reports.

Setting report thresholds

To set report thresholds

Step 1

On the open report window, click the Set Thresholds menu option. The Set

Thresholds page opens.

Step 2

For each attribute, select the desired relation (>=, =, or <=).

Step 3

For each attribute, type the desired threshold value in the yellow and/or red

column(s).

• Yes and No thresholds are indicated by the numbers 1 and 0 respectively.

• Percentage thresholds must be entered as values from 0 to 1 where 1 = 100%.

For example: .60 = 60%.

Step 4

Click the Save changes and return to report link to view the modified report.

Step 5

Save the report definition to save your changes.

Understanding thresholds

Thresholds highlight values in reports that exceed or fall below expected levels.

The thresholds can be set for two severity levels which are represented by the

colors yellow and red. Typically, you use the yellow threshold to indicate a

near-critical situation and the red threshold to indicate a critical situation.
You choose whether you want the colors to appear when the value is greater than

or equal to (>=) the threshold value, equal to (=) the threshold value, or less than

or equal to (<=) the threshold value.
Depending on the value that you set for the Relation column, any values for the

yellow threshold attribute that are greater than or equal to (>=) , equal to (=), or

less than or equal to (<=) the given value are highlighted in yellow.
Depending on the value that you set for the Relation column, any values for the red

threshold attribute that are greater than or equal to (>=) , equal to (=), or less

than or equal to (<=) the given value are highlighted in red.
