Values for indicators Indicators are the impact or performance measures that help people choose
alternatives that best match their objectives or desired outcomes. An
indicator is a calculated value that represents the impacts or outcomes
of a scenario. Indicator results are automatically recalculated as you
experiment with alternatives and the results can be displayed in a chart.
Indicators apply to an entire scenario. An indicator might be used to
evaluate costs, revenues, average household size, "community benefit",
or total daily auto trips.
and assumptions An assumption is a value that is used as input to an analysis and it
is often changeable. Assumptions apply to an entire scenario. For example,
your assumptions about water consumption per household will impact the
indicator for total water consumption for a scenario. Assumptions can
also be a way to express subjective inputs, such as how much weighting
to give to a particular community value like open space or economic development.
Output values that depend on a particular assumption are automatically
updated when the assumption is changed and you click the Apply button.
are automatically calculated as you experiment with alternatives and the
results can be displayed graphically in a chart. Charts
are dynamically linked to assumptions and indicators. As
changes are made in the analysis, chart displays will update automatically
to reflect analysis results.
Threshold lines may be included to demonstrate a goal or threshold associated with an alert. Diagonal grids on bar charts show the difference between the chart’s current value and its previous value. Charts can contain a single analysis value or many values from the same scenario. They can also display values from different scenarios for comparison.
Open the chart view:
Click the 360 Analysis tab
Charts icon 
.
-OR-
Click the View
Charts button 
on the Scenario 360 toolbar.
The
View Charts button on the Scenario
360 toolbar and the Charts icon
on the 360 Analysis tab work as
toggle buttons. They
allow you to toggle the charts view on/off.
Click the Scenario drop-down list and select the scenario with the charts you wish to view.
Click on the name of the chart for which you wish to view information.
If the chart is attached to assumptions, you can modify the assumptions and show the impacts of those modifications by clicking the Modify Assumptions button.
Hovering over a chart bar, point, or piece will display the current value and previous value.
The number of decimal places can be modified by opening the chart for edits and setting the decimal places to an alternate number. Tip: change units if you have too many digits.
Use the scenario comparison view to view scenario charts side-by-side.
