    Threshold sets define

    • A.

      Comparison values and display attributes

    • B.

      When specific comparison values should be utilized

    • C.

      Whether dynamic thresholds should be used or not

    • D.

      When a shift change usually occurs

    Correct Answer
    A. Comparison values and display attributes
    Explanation
    Threshold sets are used to define comparison values and display attributes. They determine when specific comparison values should be utilized and whether dynamic thresholds should be used or not. These sets help in setting benchmarks and determining if a certain value falls within acceptable limits or not. Additionally, they also specify the display attributes that should be applied when these thresholds are met or exceeded. Overall, threshold sets play a crucial role in monitoring and analyzing data by providing a clear indication of when certain values require attention or action.
