3.9. Setting Thresholds
As you examine data in the report, you might decide that you want
certain data categories to stand out, especially if the values are out of an
expected performance range. For example, maybe you’d like the Service
Level column in a report to turn red when the service level drops too
low. You can set thresholds such as these to alert you when certain
values exceed or fall below expected levels.
In the real-time bar graph, the threshold alert notifies you immediately
of an unacceptable condition. In the historical grid, the threshold alert
highlights areas that were out of an expected performance range over a
period of time.
À To set thresholds in the real-time graph:
1. With the TUTOR.CMB report displayed, place the mouse pointer
over the real-time graph and hold down the right mouse button. A
pop-up menu appears:
