Period Option: The length of scoping. You can set the scoping period, which includes Project Cycle, Specify Scoping Length (Years) and General Scope without Specify Year options.

 

Project Cycle: if you select the Project Cycle radio button, the scoping length and start year will be the same as the current cycle’s length and start year.

 

Specify Scoping Length (Years): If you select the Specify Scoping Length (Years) radio button, you can decide the scoping length. The scoping period will start from the current beginning year by default.

 

General Scope without Specify Year:  The option is for the users who prefer to use the scoping for general scope without specifying information year by year. If you select this radio button, in the scoping financial summary interface and the scope online interface, there will be just one column for the scoping data input and the ‘Year’ row on the top will be hidden.

 

Cost Scoping Base Period*: The scoping base period:

 

All Years By (Year/Half Year/Quarter/Month): if you select this option, scoping base period will be either a year, a half year, a quarter or a month through out the entire scoping length depending on your selection.

 

If you decide to specify scoping base period in more details, select the second radio button, specify the range of years for the base period, then select the base period (Year/Half Year/Quarter/Month). This way, scoping base period may vary depending on which year it is within the scoping length. For example, the below configuration shows that from Year 1 to Year 2, scoping base period is Month; from Year 3 to Year 4, scoping base period is Quarter; from Year 5 to the last year of the scoping length, base scoping period is Year. Each scoping base period takes up a column in the Scoping in Details table.
