Threshold parameter definitions

A threshold parameter is a type of "test" that P6 Professional applies to activities or work breakdown structure (WBS) elements in a project to identify potential issues. You can specify a threshold parameter and a lower and/or upper threshold value against which project data can be evaluated to identify issues that you want to track.

An issue is automatically generated when a threshold parameter is equal to or less than the lower threshold value, or equal to or greater than the upper threshold value.

The following list defines the available threshold parameters:

Cost Performance Index (CPI) (ratio)
