Exception Parameters
You can define the parameters of the exception here.

  2. Select the Alert Level.

    Depending on the selection you make here, the system uses different background colors to highlight the values. The exception is displayed with the background color of the data cell or characteristic cell. The color shading ranges from dark green for alert level Good1 through yellow for alert level Critical 1 to dark red for alert level Bad3. There are a total of nine color shades, representing nine different levels of priority.

    You can choose from the following alert levels:

    • Good1
    • Good2
    • Good3
    • Critical1
    • Critical2
    • Critical3
    • Bad1
    • Bad2
    • Bad3

    • LessEqual: <=
    • GreaterEqual: >=
    • Between: []
    • NotBetween: ][
    • ContainsPattern

  4. Enter a value. The values for most of these operators must be floating point numbers. For the operators Between and Not Between, you have to specfiy an upper and a lower threshold value in the Value and To Value fields.
