General Characteristics

  • Listing Value Added categories and their respective colors. You can add a new category or remove an existing one. When you enter a code in the time analysis sheet, you can specify the value added category in the Value Added column.
  • Specify the valued added category for every code. You can define the default value added category in the data-code entry file located in Win_64\startup\DataCardEntry. For example for UAS sub system, you must open Win_64\startup\DataCardEntry\dce_uas.xml and specify the value added category in <ValueAdded> tag.
  • A code can have a combination of value added information. For example, code AN3 time is 160tmu. Out of this, VA and NVA are equal to 120 and 40 respectively. Here you must create a category labeled Mixed in data code file, and specify: <VALUEADDED>Mixed;VA=120;NVA=40;</VALUEADDED>
  • The values for each category add to the total value of the respective category. In the above example, the value 120tmu adds to the value added category of VA and 40 and adds to that of NVA.
