For the Weighted Percentage and Weighted Rule Percentage roll up types, you can apply a weighted
value. The weighting is the value by which the result or rule is multiplied to give the different severity
levels more or less weight when calculating the scores. The weighting of the severity levels is configured in
the Standards Compliance Settings. The default values are Low=1, Moderate=2, Important=4, and
Critical=8.
Simple Percentage is the percentage of the template results that are compliant. This option does not weight
the results based on severity. For example, the simple percentage score for the results is 73. This score is
calculated based on 11 compliant results out of a total of 15 results.
Severity Compliant Results Noncompliant Results
Critical 1 4
Important 2 0
Moderate 3 0
Low 5 0
Total 11 4
Table 51. Simple Percentage Template Results
Weighted Percentage is the percentage of the template results that are compliant where the Critical
severity rule results are weighted more heavily than the Low severity rules results. For example, the
weighted percentage score for the results is 46. This score is calculated based on a weighted value of 27
compliant results out of a total of 59 results.

Table 52. Weighted Percentage Template Results
Simple Rule Percentage is the percentage of compliance rules in the templates that passed as compliant. If
any of the results are non-compliant, the rule is non-compliant. This option does not weight the rules
based on severity. For example, the simple rule percentage is 40. This score is calculated based on two
compliant rules out of a total of five rules.
