Limits

About a Limit

If you want to receive alerts on a device when you record reading values that meet certain criteria, you can define the criteria and the health indicators in the Limits section of the Step Details page. You can configure limits and health indicators for either numeric or Picklist reading types only. You cannot configure for character type readings.

For character reading type, a message appears indicating that limits are not available for character reading type.

For Picklist reading type, you can add Limits for the available Picklist values only.

A Limit defines:

  • The Limit values for the readings recorded for a Step.
  • Limit colors.
  • Health indicators to indicate the upper and lower threshold levels.
  • A message to be displayed in Rounds Pro mobile application when you enter the readings.
Note: A message can be a warning or an alert. For more details, refer to About Status Criteria for Numeric Health Indicators.
The limits, health indicators, and display messages for alerts or health indicators appear on the following pages:
  • Route Steps and the Step Details screens on Rounds Pro mobile application when the readings are entered for a Step.
  • The Route Instances Details pages accessed from the Open Instances and Instance History pages in the web application, which reflect the last reading collected and saved to the server using Rounds Pro mobile application.
