Using the Modifiable Threshold Fields

Modifiable threshold fields include the following:

  • Name: Name of each threshold in a threshold set.

    Note:

    When you create and save a new threshold, the threshold name is no longer modifiable.

  • Display Name: Name of a threshold as it appears in the Threshold Editor in the Admin Tools.
  • Current Value: Current value of the threshold.
  • Data Type: Data types for a threshold from available data types. After making a selection, other fields in this dialog box change to accommodate the required entries. The following table describes valid field values.

    Table 9-6 Data Type Field Values or Entries

    Data Type Field Entries
    INTEGER
    • Active fields: Sample Value, Current Value, Max Value, Min Value, and Units
    • Valid values for Units field: SECONDS, MINUTES,HOURS, DAYS, MINUTES, and MONEY NO FRAC
    • MaxValue in Active fields (except units): 999999999
    REAL
    • Active fields: SampleValue, Current Value, Max Value, Min Value, and Units
    • Valid values for Units field: MONEYand PERCENTAGE
    • MaxValue in Active fields (except units): 99999999999999999999(OR 20 times 9)
    BOOLEAN
    • Active fields: Sample Value, Current Value
    • Valid values for SampleValue and Current Value fields: TRUE or FALSE
    STRING
    • Active fields: Sample Value, Current Value
    LIST
    • Active fields: Sample Value, Current Value
  • Sample Value: Base value that is defined for a threshold.
  • Comment: Additional comments that you want to add about the threshold (up to 4,000 characters).
  • Max Value: Maximum limit to which you can change a threshold value.
  • Min Value: Minimum limit to which you can change a threshold value.
  • Units: Unit of measure for the variable defined in a threshold as it applies to the defined data type. Valid values are MONEY and PERCENTAGE (which apply to the REAL data type) and time increments (which applies to INTEGER data type).
  • Description: Description of a threshold.
  • Add: Adds a threshold to a scenario that displays in the Threshold List.
  • Update: Confirms any changes you made in the threshold fields.
