How to: Calculate Signals

To calculate signals

You can calculate signals with a Scheduler Job or manually.

To calculate signals with a Scheduler Job

Click the icon, enter Scheduler Job List, and select the relevant link.
Create a new Scheduler job by clicking the New action, or select an existing job.
In the General FastTab, define the Job ID and Description.
In the Object Setup FastTab, select Codeunit in the Object Type field and assign the Object No. with 10016614 (LSC ACI Signal Mgmt.).
Go to the Schedule Details FastTab, define the date and time for when you would like the job to be executed. This includes Time Units, Time Between Check, Next Check Date, and Next Check Time.
Based on the scheduled date, time, and frequency, the system will calculate the signals for all KPIs according to their Calculation Rules.

To calculate signals manually

Click the icon, enter Actionable Insights KPIs, and select the relevant link.
Select an Actionable Insights KPI, and click the Calculate Signals action.
Alternatively, click the Manage - View action to open the relevant Actionable Insights KPI Card, and click the Calculate Signals action.
The system will calculate the signals for the selected KPI according to its Calculation Rules.

When the signals calculation is triggered, the system will only consider the Calculation Rules with Next Calc. Date and Next Calc. Time earlier than the triggered date and time. Upon completion of the signals calculation, the system will update the Next Calc. Date and Next Calc. Time of the Calculation Rules based on their frequency and rule setup.
