Template Evaluation: Details

Use

This function displays the following information for each cell of the chosen template or for each row of the template evaluation:

The formula or method used

The functions used

The results of the template evaluation

Which field content is accessed

Through the details, you can view the results of the template evaluation, how these were reached and how the template columns were built.

Prerequisites

You have executed a template evaluation. You can do this in Structure Breakdown or when the Results of an allocation are displayed.

Features

The application toolbar of the detailed screen shows two buttons with which you can display flexible functions for activation or quantity columns. With the arrow button you set the desired display period (in case you want to make the analysis for several periods).

The system displays four fields with information regarding the chosen columns, periods and reference objects.

The main section of the screen shows four display areas: Formula/Methods, Results, Function list, and Field contents.
