Conditional Limit is the OnPlan term for creating a set of parameters that can be used to determine a severity level based on the length entry (Crack Length). To create a conditional limit


  1. Create a Custom Category (if not already created). See below
  2. Create a Conditional Limit to set the parameters.


Create a Custom Category

A custom category is created with the required number of ranges required around crack length. Typically there is one category used for many different crack ranges. Use the following steps to create the custom category.


NOTE: Before creating a category, search the Custom Category List first to ensure the category doesn't exist.


1.  Navigate using the menu to Data Admin > Limits > Custom Category

2.  Click New to add a new category. The Create Limit Category pop-up will be displayed.



3. Complete the following fields


  • Name - Enter the name (used in searches)
