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
1 Click Modules and select your module.
2 Add elements to your module, and then click OK.
3 In the element display view, click the element and then click the link to the sheet.
4 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.
5 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.
6 To display all of the cost and revenue curves of the same unit on the grid, select Show all curves. 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. See Specifying estimates.
