Modifying thresholds

We shall take the "ElementsDispensed::Food" element as our example. The NOP (Number Of Parents) column shows a cross, indicating an abnormal value.

Open the configuration window and select the "Number Of Parents (NOP)" option.

Steps:

1. Select the "Metrics" hierarchy option.

2. Select the "Number Of Parents" sub-option.

3. Change the value of the lower threshold from 1 to 0.

4. Change the value of the upper threshold from 2 to 4.

5. Confirm.

After these operations, run the "Metrics/Generate" command on the "ElementsDispensed" package in your project.

Result

After generating the package, you will see the modification made to the "Non-standard elements" table.
