Default Parameters

The following parameters enable you to configure One’s default behaviour when running the Nearest School search or calculating distances for an assessment:

  • TASSNOHS:
    The number of schools to be assessed when performing a nearest school search. A higher value provides more confidence that the schools returned are accurate (i.e. all possible schools are considered and ranked), but the cost is decreased performance. A lower value will increase performance but risks not properly identifying the actual nearest school.
  • TASSNTHSCH:
    The default number of schools returned by the Nearest School search. The default value is 5.

    Setting the TASSNTHSCH parameter to a value greater than 10 may have a negative impact on search performance.

  • NO_OF_NESC:
    The default number of schools returned by the Nearest School check that is automatically performed when you run an assessment. The default value is 5.

    Setting the NO_OF_NESC parameter to a value greater than 10 may have a negative impact on search performance.

  • DEST_CRIT:
    The part of the destination base that distances are calculated to, by default, when performing an assessment. The default value is -1.
  • ALTER_CRIT:
    The part of any alternative bases that distances are calculated to, by default, when performing an assessment. The default value is -1.
  • CAL_METHOD:
    The default distance calculation method used. The default value is Direct.
  • NE_SC_CRIT:
    The part of the destination base that distances are calculated to, by default, when running the Nearest School search. The default value is 1.
