Threshold Colors

In the Projects pane of the Cobra Explorer, when a project or master project is not performing as planned, variance and index calculated fields are highlighted, using different colors.

Threshold colors display for the VAC, CV, SV, CPI, and SPI fields, but only if threshold settings are defined.

If both the actual and earned values are zero, no threshold colors are applied to the SPI, CPI, and CV fields.

Threshold colors are also used in the Spreadsheet pane of the Project view to identify control accounts and work packages that exceed threshold settings.
