Parameters
You use the Parameters data grid to define production parameters for a scenario.
Production parameters can change throughout the schedule. The parameters can be different for the different locations in the scenario. Parameters can change at different times throughout the schedule.
You can define the production parameters in the Parameters data grid, or you can use the spreadsheet view. To access the spreadsheet view, select Spreadsheet > Enable Spreadsheet Views, and then select the Production Parameters spreadsheet. When the Production Parameters spreadsheet is enabled, it replaces the Parameters data grid in the Parameters tab.
