Risk Threshold Records

Risk Threshold records determine the threshold values and colors that appear within a Risk Matrix. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Risk Threshold family and appear on the Risk Threshold datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Alias	Character	An alias for the risk threshold.	When the Use Aliases? check box is selected in the Risk Matrix record, when you pause on a cell in the risk matrix, instead of the value in the Description field in the Risk Threshold record, this value will appear. In addition, if the Alias Format Mask field in the associated Risk Matrix record contains the value {t}, the value in the Alias field in the Risk Threshold record will be displayed in the cell in the Risk Matrix (according to the complete template that is defined in the Alias Format Mask field).
Color	Character	A value indicating the color that will appear in all cells in the matrix that contain a number that falls within this risk boundary (according to the number in the Value box of this Risk Threshold record and other Risk Threshold records that are linked to the same Risk Matrix record).	None
Description	Character	A description of the risk level.	The value in this field is populated by the MI_RISK_THRESHOLD system code table. This value is used to identify the record. This value appears when you pause on a cell in the risk matrix.
Value	Numeric	A number that represents the risk level associated with the number in a cell in the matrix.	If a cell in the matrix contains a number greater than or equal to the risk level and less than the next highest risk level in a Risk Threshold record that is linked to the same Risk Matrix record, the number will be considered to reside within this risk level. For example, if the Value field in the Risk Threshold record Medium contains the number 10, and the Value field in the Risk Threshold record High, which is linked to the same Risk Matrix record, contains the number 100, then any cell in the matrix that contains a number greater than or equal to 10 and less than 100 will be considered Medium risk. Any number greater than or equal to 100 will be considered High risk.
