Indicator thresholds in KPI Details

Thresholds define a normal range of scores for an indicator and alert you when certain events occurs, like when a score reaches an all-time high.

When a threshold is triggered, the instance generates an email notification. This message is associated with the indicator and the message is directly available via KPI Details.

A threshold can be personal or global. A personal threshold is visible only to the user that created it. It appears as a light grey dotted line. A global threshold is visible to all users and appears as a dark grey dotted line. Because you cannot share a personal threshold, it appears only in KPI Details and the Analytics Hub. Global thresholds can also appear in time series data visualizations. Dashboards can alert viewers to events related to thresholds through proactive analytics insights cards.

Add, modify, or delete a threshold in KPI Details

Add, modify, or delete personal thresholds. With the required roles, you can also add, modify, and delete thresholds for all users.

Before you begin

Role required: Any role for your own personal thresholds. The pa_threshold_admin role or a role containing it (pa_power_user, pa_admin, or admin) for global thresholds and for personal thresholds created by other users.
