Variable Definition Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to enter the values for the workbook and project variables that you have defined on the Metrics tab.

Workbook Tab

Use this tab to enter values for the workbook variables. The metrics may include both field and value variables. You can add or edit variables using the Metrics tab Variables view. The variables listed below are those that come standard with Acumen.

Field	Description
Duration Upper Limit	Select the field that defines the duration upper limit.
Float Upper Limit	Select the field that defines the float upper limit.
EV Method	Select the field that defines the EV method and the value for the EV method that defines the LOE value. The available values depend on the selection in the first field.
Rolling Wave	Select the field that defines rolling wave and the value for the rolling wave that defines the planning package. The available values depend on the selection in the first field.

Project Tab

After you define the project variable on the Metrics tab, you can add the value for each project or snapshot. You can either enter them here or on the S1 // Projects Activity Details Pane Project Variables tab. One advantage of entering them here is that you can see the trend over time. In addition, you can click on the variable and use the Variable Description field at the bottom of the dialog box to see how the variable is to be used.
