Multi-list View in the Sustainability Assessment

As an alternative to the pie chart, you can display the consolidated metric information for a given item and its structure in a multi-list view. The multi-list 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 Sustainability Assessment apps only.

Benefits: It provides a single view of all the metric values to the engineer.

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.

Benefits: You can overload the roll-up weight with an add-in in the context of a particular activity in the Business Value Definition. For example, a "Transport by truck" human activity can now take as an input the weight of the packaging along with the weight of the product.
