:: Provided that there is more than one answer to one or more questions where a weighting level has been specified, clicking on the ''Auto-set'' button will equally divide up the lowest possible limit with the highest possible limit across the different available impact levels. Depending on the number of answers that have been defined with a weight value, the results of an ''Auto-set'' may still need to be adjusted so that there is no overlap between Impact Levels.
