Data Entry Conventions
- Tree structure shows hierarchy of data entry screens and serves as a checklist for completion of data entry. Click on + or - to expand or collapse tree.
- Enter percentages as percent, not as decimals.
- Enter all cost data in base-year dollars. BLCC will adjust prices to future-year values using price escalation rates entered by the user.
- No need to include $ or % signs, or commas to mark off thousands or millions.
- If years/months or duration is requested, add 'y' to number of years and 'm' to number of months,
e.g., 2y 4m or enter 'r' for Remaining (years in study period).
- Add/delete allows the user to add or delete an alternative, component, or cost.
- Copy allows the user to copy an alternative, component, or cost previously created.
