New Duration-based Variables for Custom Algorithms using Script

What's new? Six new duration-based variables are now accessible for use when defining custom algorithms using script:

• numMonths: Number of months between the PASD and Final CSR.

• numMonthsForCost: Number of months during which this cost occurs.

• numMonthsForTask: Number of months during which the effort occurs for a Task.

• numDays: Number of days between the PASD and Final CSR.

• numDaysForCost: Number of days during which the cost occurs.

• numDaysForTask: Number of days during which the effort occurs for a Task.

Who sees the change? Expert Algorithm Editors who are defining custom algorithms when switching to script.

Note:

Defining custom algorithms with script is launched by navigating to the Cost > Adjustments tab for an indirect cost item or the Resource > Algorithm (or Algorithm/Hours) tab for a resource working on a task and clicking on the Switch to Script link.
