When migrating elements to a different agent, there's a 'Weight' column. On my DMS, the Weight is always set to '1' for around 1000 elements. (See image below) The docs define this value as the impact on the Agent, but how is this calculated? Is this based on the protocol and trend templates? Do the 'Change' & 'Polling' columns of the migration window affect the 'Weight' value?

Hi,
The weight is calculated based on what percentage of the parameter sets reach SLElement are from that element.
If the element is responsible for <10% of the parameter sets it's 1, if it's responsible for <20% it's 2, etc.
So if all your elements are similar, they'll indeed all have weight 1.

I guess this approach makes sense when you have a small number of elements, when you have > 500 elements it becomes more difficult for some of the ‘heavy impact’ elements to reach the 10% threshold? Perhaps we could display the weight as a double between 0-1, which would allow users to sort on the heaviest elements (even if they’re all < 10% of the param sets)?
