OTAs display data that identifies and monitors real-time information based on tolerance levels that you define. Specific setup information for each OTA is available in the topics that discuss portal pagelets for each enabling application. For example, the enabling application for the Contract Sales OTA is PeopleSoft Contracts, so you can find the necessary setup information in the topic Using OTAs for PeopleSoft Contracts.
The overall tasks to set up OTAs are:
Define default filter values at the system level for each OTA by accessing the OTA's personalization page from the ESA Portal Pack Pagelet Default Administration page.
Select Operational Threshold Alert on the Personalize Content page and return to the PeopleSoft homepage.

When a measurement goes beyond the alert threshold, a red alert visual indicator appears on the Operational Threshold Alert pagelet, which indicates that the measurement is not within an acceptable range. When a measurement has not reached, or is equal to, the alert threshold, a green visual indicator appears on the Operational Threshold Alert pagelet, which indicates that the measurement is within an acceptable range. |

If administrators or users do not specify personalization options for an OTA, a message appears on the pagelet for the corresponding OTA. Users can specify that only selected OTAs that are in an alert status appear on the pagelet. If you specify that only OTAs in an alert status appear on the pagelet, and none of the selected OTAs are in an alert status, a message appears indicating that all of the selected OTAs are within acceptable tolerances.
