You can plan the financials of your
product or products using the time grid attribute. For example, you
can calculate costs and revenue for a business case.
You can use the time grid attribute to do these actions:
- Adapt to any number of scenarios with the same or different time
period.
- Add, edit or delete time grid attributes as per your project plan
- Display a sheet in another time interval: monthly, quarterly or
yearly
- View the sum of all elements in a graph or table
- View the sum of cell values for multiple elements
- Aggregate a time grid attribute using incoming links attribute
- Save content from one time grid sheet to another
- Export, import, print, and compare time grid sheets
Each sheet in the time grid attribute is configured for a specific
scenario, with a name, time interval (month, quarter, or year), start
date, and end date. A time grid attribute can have multiple sheets,
each with an individual time line and cell values.
For a project plan, you might have different parameters like
Development cost, Licensing, Quantity, Support and Services, and Transactional
cost. Each of these parameters represents a benefit, cost or variable
stream. These parameters can be represented a rows in the time grid
sheet and can be used for financial planning.
