Viewing and Updating Threshold Updates

The Threshold Update panel in Master Job Definition displays the threshold updates configured for a job. A threshold update instructs OpCon to set a named threshold to a specific numeric value when the job reaches a designated status. You can view, add, edit, and delete threshold updates from this panel.

note

Only users with the appropriate edit privileges can modify job properties. For details, refer to Required Privileges in the Accessing Master Job Definition article.
