Action property options

Module

With Module type, you define links to specific reporting points and their fields. When the KPI calculates, the resolver retrieves data from those fields for the entire time period of the KPI, and aggregates them with the ResolverOperation property method.

CalendarLookup

With CalendarLookup type, you can type the exact name of any valid Calendar Item into the CalendarItem field. When the KPI calculates, it retrieves the value of the Calendar Item for the current time period and uses that value as a single scalar value in its algorithm. For more information, see Lookup Calendar.

Resolver

With Resolver type of source, you can select any resolver from a selection list. When the KPI calculates, the linked resolver recalculates its value for the time period defined in this KPI and that value is used in the calculation for this KPI. This reduces duplication by enabling you to define identical resolvers only one time and then reference them elsewhere in the project.

KPI

With KPI type, you can select any KPI from a selection list. When the KPI calculates, the last calculated value of the linked KPI is used as a single scalar value, without reference to the time period or historical values.

Variable

With Variable type, you can select any available variable from a selection list. When the KPI calculates, the current value of the variable is used as a single scalar value, without reference to the time period or historical values.

Important: The Variable option has been deprecated. This method is limited to the duration of the historical cache and could produce an unreliable result. We recommend that you use the CalendarLookup option instead, as there is no restriction on the time window for retrieving a value.

Constant

With Constant type, you can specify one value for the KPI to use. When the KPI calculates, the value that you specified is used as a single scalar value, without reference to the time period or historical values.
