    • The Is Report check box is cleared.
    • The Associated Subgroups box contains the Sub Group for which you want to create a Performance Record.
  • Create a Sub Group Capacity record for the Sub Group for the month and year for which you want to create a Performance Record.
  • Import Events for the Sub Group for the month and year for which you want to create a Performance Record.
  • Ensure that the imported Events do not have an error.
  • Ensure that the imported Events do not have a gap in time.
    Note: For a given month and Unit, if the value in the Start Date field of an Event is different from that in the End Date field of the previous Event, the two Events are considered to have a gap in time. In addition, if the Events imported for a given month do not account for all the 24 hours of each day in the month, the Events are considered to have a gap in time.

Procedure

  1. Access the Sub Group Summary page for the Sub Group for which you want to create a Performance Record.
  2. Select the Performance tab.

    The Performance Records that are associated with the Sub Group appear for each month of the current year, until the current month.

  3. Select Create Record next to the month for which you want to create a Performance Record.
    The Performance Record page appears. Performance calculations are simultaneously run, and the record is updated.
    Note:

    If the IU time percentage exceeds 2%, a warning message appears to indicate the same. You can, however, create a Performance Record.

    The IU time percentage is the percentage of the total IU time for the Events, as a function of the total report time. For more information, refer to The Data Quality Parameters Window.

    The Events data is considered in the Sub Group timezone for creation of the Performance Record.

Results

The sync status of the Performance Record is SYNCED. If the Event associated with the record is now modified, the sync status will change to OUT OF SYNC.
