Defining metrics thresholds for ranges using a parameterized line of text synchronized with an interactive display

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:

• present a flexible sentence structure in a user interface, wherein the flexible sentence structure includes a plurality of parameters for defining an alert for a selected data cell, wherein the parameters include one or more alert threshold values;
• present an interactive graphical display in the user interface, wherein the interactive graphical display includes one or more threshold value indicators corresponding to the parameters of the flexible sentence structure;
• make changes to the flexible sentence structure and the interactive graphical display responsive to a user interaction to form a metrics threshold definition;
• and
• generate code that creates alerts according to the metrics threshold definition.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• present a flexible sentence structure in a user interface, wherein the flexible sentence structure includes a plurality of parameters for defining an alert for a selected data cell, wherein the parameters include one or more alert threshold values;
• present an interactive graphical display in the user interface, wherein the interactive graphical display includes one or more threshold value indicators corresponding to the parameters of the flexible sentence structure;
• make changes to the flexible sentence structure and the interactive graphical display responsive to a user interaction to form a metrics threshold definition;
• and
• generate code that creates alerts according to the metrics threshold definition.
