Add and configure a Quality threshold range

A threshold range defines the boundaries of multiple limits for acceptable ranges for data. When the field value falls outside the valid range, the value is considered to be out-of-threshold range. You can set up out-of-range levels, such as warning and danger levels.

Note: The Data Type of a threshold range item on a Quality field is defined as a Numeric data type and matches the data type of the parent field.

How it looks in the data grid

The threshold colors display in the Production Analyst results grid to inform operators of out-of-range data.

Example

In this example, the specification is temperature and ideal temperature is between 7°C and 9°C.

You can add one or more threshold range items to a Quality field specification.

To add a threshold range

1. Select a Quality field beneath a Quality reporting point.

   

2. On the properties pane, choose Field as the option for Threshold Source. A new child item appears below the Quality field.

   

3. Rename the item with a meaningful name.

4. Configure the threshold range properties. For guidance in configuring the properties, see Quality threshold range properties.
