# Setting application thresholds

Nexthink Applications allows you to configure thresholds at the web application level, as you may require different performance standards for various applications. If you don’t customize the thresholds, the system applies default settings automatically.

After [configuring the fields in the General tab](https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/applications/configuring-applications/configuring-web-applications/..#configuringwebapplications-understandingurlpatterns) of the web application settings, navigate to the **Thresholds** tab to activate metric thresholds:

* Add border values—in seconds—in the **Average** and **Frustrating** fields for **Page load time** and/or **Transaction duration**.

{% hint style="info" %}
After setup, the related [application monitoring dashboard](https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications) adapts the **Page loads** /or **Transactions** gauge-type widgets to the configured thresholds, using colors to visually appraise **good**, **average**, and **frustrating** values.
{% endhint %}
