VEE Rules Flashcards

1
Q

This rule allows for termination of the VEE process based on a configurable set of exceptions being present for the IMD. This rule also allows a unique To Do Type to be generated based on a group of exceptions.

Q

This powerful, flexible validation rule compares measurements to historical statistics for the related Service Point. The system will maintain statistics such as the following: sum, min, max, average, median, zero value count, outage count, and standard deviation. Then you define formulas (no programming required) for the comparison of current measurements to these statistics.
