Setting the gap indication affects the way the application displays the indicator colors. The color signifies the deviation of the bucket's actual value from the bucket's goal.
Using the default settings, all deviations up to 10% are marked as green. Deviations of 10% to 20% are marked as yellow. Deviations above 20% are marked as red.
For some specific maps you may choose to change the system's defaults. At any stage those defaults may be restored by checking the Use Default Indication checkbox.
Note: PPM uses two different indication settings for Sum and Balance. You may choose to edit each one of these settings separately.
To set portfolio gap indications:
- Click Portfolio in the Menu Bar and select Gap Indication.

Notes:
