To use a model, specify the estimated values for costs,
benefits, and variables for the life of the project. You can use the
Investment Analysis interface to edit these values.
Procedure
- Click Modules and select your module.
- Add elements to your module and click OK.
- In the element display view, click the element and then
click the link to the sheet.
- Below the graph grid, click the list and select a cost,
benefit or variable, such as Development, or Transactions. The list
displays the cost, benefit and variable streams that you created when
you configured the time grid attribute.
- Specify the discount rates over the life of the project.
The default is a yearly discount rate of 0%. By default,
in investment analysis, only the currently selected cost or revenue
curve is displayed.
- To display all of the cost and revenue curves of the same
unit on the grid, select Show all curves.
Note: You can adjust the values for the currently selected cost
or revenue curve, but the other cost and revenue curves are also visible
on the grid.
What to do next
When you select a cost, benefit, or variables, you can enter
data estimates. You can enter the estimates in a model graphically
or by using a spreadsheet or a calculator.
