Multilist View in the Eco-Design Assessment

As an alternative to the pie chart, you can display the consolidated metric information for a given item and its structure in a multilist view. The multilist view appears in the structural distribution in addition to the pie chart or in a dedicated tab as a spreadsheet.

This capability is accessible in the Eco-Design Assessment assessment apps only.

Benefits: The multilist view provides a single view of all the metric values.

Overload any Metric when Applying a Human Activity in Business Value Definition

You can overload the metric value either by entering a value or a percentage.
