Defining Measurement Frequency and Notifications
Specifying Measurement Frequency
To specify the measurement frequency of an indicator:
1. See Accessing Key Indicators.
2. In the properties of a key indicator, select the Values page.
3. In the Measurement frequency section, select a steering calendar:
• Daily Measurement Frequency
• Monthly Measurement Frequency
• Weekly Measurement Frequency
This steering calendar is used to send notifications to appropriate users.
Managing Notifications
HOPEX IRM enables to send automatic notifications based on:
• the key indicator status
• the last measurement date
• The Time to Failure value (number of days)
This way, you can ensure that the indicator owners properly manage indicators.
To specify or modify user notifications:
1. See Accessing Key Indicators.
2. In the properties of a key indicator, select the Notifications page.
You can choose to send periodic notifications:
• to a specific person
By default, the owner of a key indicator receives notifications. Here you can specify another person.The notifications sent to appropriate users prompts them to enter values for the key indicator they are in charge of monitoring. For more details, see Entering Periodic Key Indicator Values.• to a set of users (when the indicator reaches a specified status or when the last measurement is older than a specified number of days).
Entering Periodic Key Indicator Values
HOPEX IRM enables the indicator owner or other authorized persons to manually enter key indicator values in order to feed the key indicator.
It is also possible to feed automatically the key indicator.
