Hello Sakul,

You ask a very good question.

The details of the calculations is not contained within the official product documentation.  It would be a good enhancement request to have that information available.

There was a community blog that was written a few years ago that may answer your question.

Please review this information and see if it answers your question.  If it does not, then it may be necessary to open an official support case to get the correct answer.

I hope that this is helpful.

The article link you referenced comes back as "Access Denied" for me.  I certainly have an SAID on my profile with most, if not all, of the OpsBridge products on it, so is the link broken?

If you could re-post the original content here, or there is an updated link, that would be great, as I too would like to know more about how the various CO values are calculated.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hello Aaron,

Yes, I know that there have been problems in the past being able to access this blog post.

I just accessed it and was able to view it.

I have taken the contents of the blog post, updated references from vPV to CO and turned it into a PDF file that I'm attaching to this post.

In addition, this information is contained within the following knowledge article on the MySupport portal.  I'll be adding a CO Support Tip reference to this document later.

I hope that this helps answer your question.
