# Threshold Rule fields

# Threshold Rule form fields {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 13, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Review the fields on the Threshold Rule form and the rules that govern which comparators and targets you can combine.
To create a threshold rule, see [Define threshold rules for a test measure definition](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/plCrB_o8XYed2qYpQ4EDtw "Set the limits for a test measure definition that a captured value is checked against. When a value breaks a limit, the system records a threshold rule violation.").
{#threshold-rule-fields__table_threshold_rule_fields__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Number | Identifier that the system generates for the threshold rule. Read-only. |
| Name | Name of the threshold rule. Required. Maximum 250 characters. |
| Description | Description of the threshold rule. Maximum 4,000 characters. |
| Test measure definition | Test measure definition that the rule applies to. Required. The system fills in this field when you create the rule from the Threshold Rules related list of a test measure definition. Read-only. |
| Conformance comparator exact | Option to compare the captured value against a single exact value instead of a range. |
| Conformance target exact | Value that the captured value is compared against. Required when you select Conformance comparator exact. |
| Conformance comparator lower | Comparator for the lower limit: greater than, or greater than or is. |
| Conformance target lower | Lower limit that the captured value is compared against. Use a numeric value. |
| Conformance comparator upper | Comparator for the upper limit: less than, or less than or is. |
| Conformance target upper | Upper limit that the captured value is compared against. Use a numeric value. |
| Number of allowed crossing | Number of threshold crossings that are allowed before a consequence is applied. Enter an integer. |
| Severity | Severity of a violation that this rule raises: 1 - High, 2 - Medium, or 3 - Low. |
| Tolerance period | Duration during which crossings are allowed without a consequence being applied. |
[Table 1. Threshold Rule]

## Comparison rules {#threshold-rule-fields__threshold-rule-fields-comparison}

* If the value type of the test measure definition is String or Boolean, select Conformance comparator exact.
* If you select Conformance comparator exact, enter Conformance target exact and leave the lower and upper fields empty.
* If you don't select Conformance comparator exact, leave Conformance target exact empty. Set a lower limit, an upper limit, or both, and give each comparator its target.
* Use numeric values for the lower and upper targets.
