Not a big thing, but I just noticed something that could be fixed in an upcoming release. If you look at the main agent page, under Device Information, the Storage Performance score multiplier will always max out at 196. This is due to the fact that the device storage space is shown in GB, and will never reach the max, 10 GB limit. This, in turn, is due to the fact that the device profile edit screen uses MBs as units of storage, and maxes out at 10,000 MB. Obviously, 10,000 MB != 10 GB. This means we're being cheated out of 4 ponits of a non-major score multiplier!! ;) Just kidding, it's not really that serious, but I don't think it's been reported before, figured I'd raise the issue. Either the stats screen needs to be updated to use MBs, or the device profile page should use GBs.

Another way to look at it is that since the current project's workunits don't use anything close to 10GB, setting our profiles to 10GB is giving us more points than we deserve as it is, so if we are only getting excessive points based on 9.77 GB instead of a full 10 GB, we are still getting excessive points. Don't get me wrong, I like points, but it's not like we're being cheated by the current setup.
I had noticed the 9.77 GB setting in the agent, and wondered why such an odd number. Thanks! |
