Contents of the New Spread Curve Dialog Box

Use the fields and options to configure the New Spread Curve dialog box.

Contents

Field Description
Name

Open Plan uses the (single) character entered in this field to identify the spread curve.

If you enter a character that is already in use for another spread curve, Open Plan issues a warning when you click OK.

Description

This field allows you to specify a more descriptive name for the spread curve. Once defined, the spread curve is identified by both its Name and its Description.

You cannot leave this field blank. You must enter a description for the spread curve.

Grid

At the bottom of the dialog box, Open Plan features a grid that allows you to define the percentage of the resource to be specified for each of 10 periods. This grid contains two rows. These two rows work together, and you can enter percentage values in either or both rows. The total in the Cumulative row is displayed in column 10. This value must equal 100%.

Field Description
Cumulative

As you enter values in the grid, Open Plan recalculates the values and displays the current total in column 10 of the Cumulative row.

Incremental

The values in the Incremental row allow you to define the percentage to be applied to each specific period.

Buttons

The table below provides information about the buttons in this dialog box.

Button Description
Reconcile If you click Reconcile, Open Plan ensures that the value in column 10 of the Cumulative row equals 100%. If necessary, Open Plan redistributes the values in the remaining cells in such a manner as to honor your inputs to the extent that it is possible.
