For each financial model, you can adjust the cost and benefit
scale, start and end dates, and cost, benefit and variable streams.
- Adjusting cost and benefit scale (vertical axis)
- On the grid, the vertical axis represents the unit for cost and
benefit. To change the range, at the top or bottom of the vertical
axis, enter a value in the text field. If Show all curves is
selected, you cannot change the range. If this value is too small
to scale a model, the value resets to the smallest value that fits
that model.
- Adjusting start and end dates (horizontal axis)
- You cannot adjust start and end dates. Open the time grid sheets
for the project and in the time grid attribute, edit the start and
end dates.
- Creating additional streams
- Create additional cost, benefit, and variable streams by using . A row in time grid indicates a stream in Investment
analysis. You can delete or rename an additional stream from time
grid but not from Investment analysis.
- Changing the delivery date
- Change the delivery date by using the blue arrow on the horizontal
axis on the grid. The date defaults to End date and the period for
the selected date is calculated when the date is changed.
- Showing all the curves
- The curves for the currently selected cost, benefit, non-monetary
or variable stream are displayed in the grid by default. Select Show
all curves to display all the streams with the same unit.
If the currently selected stream is a cost stream, all the cost and
benefit streams are displayed, because both the cost and the benefit
stream has the same unit. But, if the currently selected stream is
a non-monetary benefit or a variable stream, the curves for the cost
and benefit streams are not displayed. You can adjust the values for
only the currently selected curve.
