The To Do Record Meter appears in the status bar of the software. The meter gives quick feedback on the number of new records created on the To Do List in the current session.
The meter uses a rate of to do record (TDR) generation based on total TDRs created in the session per total number of objects modified in the session. Error and Warning records are included in the TDR count, but Out-of-date records are not included. By default, Warnings are weighted less heavily than Errors; two Warnings count as one. The following equation is used:
TDR rate = ((0.5*Warnings + Errors)/Activity)*100
The To Do Record Meter has the following components:
