Configure the allowable utilization reasons for an entity

If utilization data can be captured for the entity, you specify the utilization reasons that can be used with the entity on the Allowable Reasons tab. At runtime, when an operator manually adds a new utilization event for an entity, the list of reason groups and reasons will be limited to the selected allowable reasons.

Note that if no reasons are specified for an entity, all reasons are available to be selected for it. It is not possible to have no allowable reasons for an entity that can collect utilization, if there are any reasons at all configured.

To specify allowable reasons

• Select the reason groups or individual reasons in the Allowable Reasons tree.
