Create or Edit a Range

Start to Create or Edit a Range

A range defines the measurement intervals by which a metric is evaluated, such as below target, on target, and above target.

To create or edit a range:

In a dashboard portlet, click Manage Dashboards.

The SAS BI Dashboard appears in a new browser tab.
To create a range:
1. In the Library view of the Objects pane, select Range from the New drop-down list.
  
  The Create a Range dialog box appears.
2. Type the name, and then click OK.
To edit a range, in the Library view of the Objects pane, navigate to a location that contains a range, and then double-click the name.

Note: You can choose to display only ranges in the library tree by selecting Range from the Show drop-down list.

To define the range:

If needed, type a description.
For each interval in the range, click Add Interval, type the interval value in the Upper bound field, and then click OK.

The interval is added to the table of intervals. You can add the values in any order; the software orders them correctly in the table.

Note: Valid input includes a sign, digits, and a locale-dependent decimal separator.
To define each interval:
1. For a static gauge, in the Code Interval column, select a code interval from the drop-down list.
  
  The available intervals depend on the gauge.
2. In the Relation column, select an operator from the drop-down list, and specify a value in the adjacent Lower Value column.
3. In the Label column, type the label.
4. Click in the Color column and select a color.
5. To delete an interval, click next to the interval.
6. To preview how the range will appear, select a gauge type from the Dynamic gauge type drop-down list.

You can control which users can use the range. For more information, see the SAS Management Console online Help.
