Thresholds

Thresholds identify how to score metric values. Metrics are used in performance management, real estate environmental sustainability, and strategic facility planning.

You can use values, ranges, and colors to define thresholds. You can set up a threshold to support three ranges, for example, low, medium, and high, or two ranges, such as low and high. To define thresholds, go to Tools > System Setup > General > Thresholds.

For example, you want to define thresholds for budgetary costs per person. You define three thresholds: below budget, on target, and over budget. The below budget threshold is identified in yellow and has a cost range of $0-$1200 as its threshold. The on target threshold is defined by the cost range of $1201-$1800 and is identified in green. The over budget cost range is $1801-$2400 and is identified in red.
