Access to Input Pages 5 Navigation menu provides access to input pages. Green button indicates active page. Navigation menu provides access to input pages. Green button indicates active page.

Access to Results 6 Summary displays the results page with Metrics table, sliders, and graphs. Spreadsheet opens the results workbook in Excel. Time Series Graphs opens the data viewer. Summary displays the results page with Metrics table, sliders, and graphs. Spreadsheet opens the results workbook in Excel. Time Series Graphs opens the data viewer.

Access to Results 7 Changing the value of one or more inputs causes the Run Analysis button to replace the results buttons.

Cases 8 A file contains one or more cases. Cases allow for comparison of projects with different system configurations. locations, financing structures, etc. A case consists of a complete set of inputs and results. Tabs provide access to cases. The current case is indicated by a green tab. A file contains one or more cases.
