Cost Measurements

LS = Lump Sum: Enter the lump sum of the item in the Estimate field.
UC = Unitized Cost: Enter the quantity of the item then click the drop-own list to select a unit of measure. In the last field, enter the cost per unit.
SF = Square Feet: The square footage must first be defined in the project scenario details in order to enter items by square feet. If the square feet are not already added to the scenario details, click Edit to include it.
F = Formula: This cost measurement allows you to enter cost based on a percentage of another category item. Thus, the category you want to base your formula on must first be created before using this cost measurement.

Tabs

Details Tab: When you access the project scenario page, the Details tab displays by default. This tab allows you to see and edit all the details of the project scenario.
Notes Tab: Click to view or add notes to the scenario.
Documents Tab: Click to view or add documents to the scenario. An example is a written estimate from one or more vendors to help drive the final budget, schedule, and cash flow components.
Forms Tab: Click to attach forms or view forms that have been attached to the scenario. If enabled, you can also fill out forms directly from this tab. For instance, a capital authorization request can be attached, which is a record of the approved funds for the scenario. The planner might ask a contractor early on to give a preliminary estimate and that estimate can be attached as a reference.
Processes Tab: Click to attach processes or view processes that have been attached to the scenario.
Snapshots Tab: Click to view snapshots of the scenario. A snapshot is automatically taken when a published scenario is edited. This creates a version history for every edit that is made.
