Define a Curve Profile

Define curve profiles to specify how scope assignment costs, quantities, and hours spread over the duration of an activity; resource or role hours spread over the duration of an activity; and budget quantities over budget durations. There are some default curve profiles defined in the application. You can add a new curve, which is based on the default linear curve, or copy and modify one of the existing curves.

To define a curve profile:

Navigate to the Curve Profiles dictionary page
1. In the object selector, select a workspace.
2. In the sidebar, select  Summary & Settings.
3. On the Summary & Settings menu, select Dictionaries, and then select Curve Profiles.
To copy an existing curve, select the  Context menu next to the curve to copy, and select Duplicate.
To create a curve, select the  Context menu for a curve, and select Add.
Enter a Curve Name.
Modify the curve value percentages to create a curve that indicates how your costs and quantities should distribute over time. Curves are defined by 21 points (5% intervals from 0 to 100 is the default for a new curve).
Select Prorate to make the total of the distribution values equal to 100% while maintaining the shape you specified.
Save your changes:
1. Select Save.
2. In the Summary & Settings panel, select  Close.
