Define the Range

To define the range:

  2. For each interval in the range, type the interval value in the Interval field, and click Add Interval.
    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.
  3. 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 Interval column, select an operator from the drop-down list, and type a value in the adjacent field.
    3. In the Label column, type the label.
    4. For a dynamic gauge, in the Color column, click Color Picker icon and select a color.
    5. To delete an interval, click Delete icon next to the interval.
    6. To validate that the intervals are in the correct order after deleting an interval, click Validate.
You can control which users can use the range. For more information, see the SAS Management Console online Help.
