Changing the Impact Level Threshold

Impact analysis uses an Impact Level field value to determine how a change item is routed. This value is based on the threshold into which an impact analysis score falls. The thresholds are defined in application variables in SBM Composer, but can be overridden using SBM Application Administrator. The default thresholds follow:

• Low is a score less than 15.
• Medium is a score greater than or equal to 15 and less than 30.
• High is a score greater than or equal to 30.

To change the default thresholds:

1. Select the Changes project in Application Administrator.
2. Select the Variables tab.
3. Select the High Impact Level Threshold application variable and then click Details.
4. Select the Allow Overrides check box.
5. Type the new number in the box.
6. Save your changes.
7. Repeat these steps for the Medium Impact Level Threshold application variable.
