Using a Manual Denominator

When the information that makes up the denominator comes from an external system, a manual denominator is used to document the details. Manual denominators are composed of, at a minimum, a Count, Start Date and Name (Creating Manual Denominators). To add a denominator to a report, simply choose it from the list.

To select a manual denominator:

  1. Access the Report Editor (not shown, see Creating and Modifying Reports) and expand the Denominator section.
  2. Select the Manually Entered radio button. Three fields appear.
  3. Select the Compare As value from the list (Understanding Denominator Presentation).
  4. Choose the Name of the denominator you would like to add to the report. If desired:
    1. Click the View link to view the selected denominator’s details and make changes, if desired.
    2. Click the Denominator link at the top of the page if you would like to create a new denominator to use in the report (Creating Manual Denominators).
  5. Specify the Multiples Of value to adjust the scale of the denominator.
