About the Spectrum Summary Report

---

Using advanced pattern recognition techniques, the Spectrum Summary Report provides a quick view of any point or aggregated point using color coding to identify the reasonableness of the data value. Information in this report is presented in a colorful fashion, making evaluation quick and easy. If all data values are within the proper ranges, the report colors will be in a consistent pattern and the user can move on to other functions. If there are unusual or inconsistent values, the pattern will not be consistent and the user will know with a quick glance that further analysis is required.

Creating a Spectrum Summary Report.

Create the Spectrum Summary Report by performing the following tasks:

• Start the Spectrum Summary Report
• Set Report Parameters

Start the Spectrum Summary Report

1. Select the Spectrum Summary link on the shortBrandName home page or use the Goto Pull-down menu from within the current report.

   Note: If you desire, you can click on the Home button to take you back to the shortBrandName home page. Then you can select the Spectrum Summary link and New to get to the Spectrum Summary Report page. But it would be easier to simply use the Goto Reports Pull-down menu on the upper right to select the Spectrum Summary Report.

2. Once the Spectrum Summary report is open, expand Augusta and then Augusta Main Electric and right click on main electric demand. Select Add To Report. This will place Augusta Main Electric: Main electric demand in the Selection Window.

Set Report Parameters

To set the parameters of the report select the following:

1. In the Period frame, select Last Month in the drop-down box.
2. In the Value Colors frame, retain the default values as selected.
3. Value Colors

   Value Colors, by default, are blue, white, and red. Blue is the bottom of the displayed range and red is the top of the range. White is the default mean of the plotted values. The default high and low range values are highest and lowest values from the set of data points being displayed. All settings are user definable.

   

   Note: If a Spectrum Summary report shows all blue or all red, then the scale is off (possibly due to some excessive data values). To ignore the excessive values, clear the default check box, manually set the suspected excessive parameter, and run the report again.

3. Click Run Report to create the Spectrum Summary Report.
