General Dependency Options

In the General Dependency Options dialog box the dependencies table columns labels, associated value lists, drill-down target, and cost precision are displayed. This section describes how to edit the Workbook Dependencies Options dialog box.

  1. Click Edit to open the General Dependency Options dialog box.

  2. The text entered in the Labels area is the Dependency List's column headers. By default, the Dependency List's column headers are Type, Weight, and Cost (the text that appears in the Name column). By default the label and the name of the column are the same. This is signified by the entry <Name> in the Label column (i.e. Label = Name).

    To change the column names, double-click on a cell in the Label column and enter the desired text. The new labels are seen in the Workbook Dependencies tab, and all dependencies lists in all forms.

  3. In the Value Lists area, you define the Dependency Types and Dependency Weights value lists to be associated with the dependency.

    To edit the Dependency Types or Dependency Weights value list, click the relevant Edit. The wizard for the value list you selected opens in the Values step. For more information on the Values step, refer to Entering Values to a Value List in Configuring the System Components.

  4. In the Drill-down from Investor and Scorecard area, you define the destination of the Dependencies entry in the right-click menu in the Investor and Scorecard modules.

    There are two choices:

    • Workbook-if you select this option, clicking on Dependencies from the right-click menu will open the Workbook module for the selected item.
    • Form-- if you select this option, clicking on Dependencies from the right-click menu will open the form and tab you specify here.
  5. Cost Precision-- define the data type used for Cost Precision.

    There are two choices:

    • Integer-specifies that Cost units must be a whole number.
    • Float-- specifies that Cost units must be float numbers. You need to specify the degree of precision by selecting the maximal number of decimal places from the drop-down list.
