Settings
The following table describes the fields in the Settings panel in the Designer tab of a regime document.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Periodicity | Periodicity of the regime calculation: Annually, Semiannually, Quarterly or Monthly. It should match the periodicity of fiscal terms. This periodicity will be used to calculate all modules in the regime, but can be overwritten for individual modules. |
| Currency |
The currency used in the regime calculation. Note: Data may be entered in other currencies but all values will be converted to nominal and then to the regime currency prior to calculation. |
| Fiscal Year-End | This setting can be used to set annual calculations to run for fiscal years (FY) instead of calendar years; this specifies the end month of the fiscal year. The default value is 'December', hence calculations will run over calendar years. See Fiscal Year regimes. |
| Weighting | This setting is used in ringfenced calculations. It is applied when a project variable has its aggregation method set to Weighted Average or its back-allocation method set to Weighted Split. Note that this setting may be overridden in individual modules. |
| Ringfence Order | This can be used to set a scalar Numeric variable that will specify the ordering of projects in a ringfence. This setting may be overridden in individual modules. The default setting is Default which implies no specific ordering, as per the behavior in earlier versions. |
| Start Year | This setting applies only to contract terms. If any of the terms variables are Time Series, this date specifies the start of the data. |
| Inflation Date | This setting applies only to contract terms variables set to Currency and Real. This specifies the date from which inflation will be applied. |
| Scalar Conversion Date | This setting applies only to contract terms variables set to Currency and Real. The date entered here will determine the values that scalar variables will use. |
| Comments | Additional text information about the regime, such as its purpose, version history, or special terms. |
| Linked Reports | Specifies reports that will be automatically generated after a project, based on this regime, is calculated. See Add a report to a regime. The arrow buttons are used to change the order in which the reports are displayed. To link or remove reports, use the Add and Remove buttons under this field. |
