The Usage Exception report helps managers get a quick overview of people who fail to meet or exceed specific thresholds. There are two types of Usage Exception reports:
Usage Exception Report by Directory
Usage Exception Report by Ad Hoc Report
In a Directory-based Usage Exception report, the thresholds for a person or an organizational level are set in the Directory database. In a Ad Hoc Report-based Usage Exception report, the thresholds are set using the constraints located at the Additional Constraints tab and you are able to set summarization levels at the Layout tab.
Note: You can only set summarization levels in a Report-based Usage Exception report.
Regardless of the method used for setting the thresholds, the report generated from each type of Usage Exception report will appear identical.
For information about setting the thresholds in the Directory database, perform one of the following:
Open the Directory database module and click the Help button.
In the Help file's Table of Contents, open the Maintaining the Database folder.
Next, navigate to the Adding a Person folder -> Tabs -> Usage Exceptions Tab.
Open the Directory database module and click the Help button.
