118+ You can manually change the ` Cut-off type ` of the results in three ways:
119119- The ` Percent ` mode shows contributions _ from_ entities of at least _ x_ % or higher.
120+ - For example: If the cut-off is set to 5% for process contribtions, then all contributions of at least 5% are shown.
121+ - The ` Cumulative percent ` mode shows contributions that cumulatively contribute at least _ x_ %.
122+ - For example: If the cut-off is set to 80% for process contributions, then the first _ n_ processes (sorted highest
123+ to lowest) that count up to 80% are shown.
120124- The ` Number ` mode shows contributions from the _ x_ entities that contribute the most (as absolute).
125+ - For example: If the cut-off is set to 5, then the first 5 processes (sorted highest
126+ to lowest) will be shown.
127+
128+ The cut-off is applied per item (e.g. per reference flow or impact category, see [ compare] ( #compare ) ) below).
129+ This means that if you want to see the top 5 contributors, you will only see the top 5 per item, even if a contributor would
130+ also be present for another item.
