Create a New Cost Estimate on the S1 // Projects Tab

Create a new cost estimate in order to perform a cost risk analysis.

When you create a cost estimate from a schedule, no locks are copied or maintained.

To create a cost estimate in Acumen, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the S1 // Projects tab.
  2. In the Get External Data From group, select the Microsoft Excel drop-down arrow and click Create Cost Estimate.
    This opens a new cost estimate which will automatically be populated with a single activity called New Activity. Cost Estimate (1) displays in the Projects pane where the number in parenthesis indicates the number of activities in the cost estimate.
  3. Edit the activity name and details directly in this view or by using the fields in the Activity Details Pane.
