Additional Features > Calculation

Calculation formulas can be specified to Priority Value and Calculation type User-Defined Attribute and the results of them can be displayed. The calculation formula for the Priority Value is configured using the General Features 2 tab. The calculation formula for the User-Defined Attribute is configured using the User-Defined Attributes Tab of Project Options.

Variables, numerics, operators(+,-,*,/), and parentheses() are available for calculation formulas. The variables start with "$" and the followings are available:

•$Priority

•$Difficulty

•$Risk

•$Stability

•$Effort

•$(User-Defined Attribute)

$Priority/$Difficulty/$Risk/$Stability are defined in three levels: High=3, Medium=2, Low=1. The value of $Effort is used directly. For $(User-Defined Attribute), Numeric/Enum/Calculation types are available. When setting Enum type, numeric values should be included in the string.

Calculation Order

Calculation type User-Defined Attributes are calculated from the top in order of the definition and finally Priority Value is calculated. At the point of calculation, variables with no value are treated as 0.
