Sensitivity Values

How to edit Assumption sensitivities

Overview

Sensitivities step of the Assumptions dialog

Optionally, for any Assumption, you can add Sensitivities that will vary the value of the Assumption according to certain rules.

This is an optional step of the Assumptions wizard, and you will be able to exit from the wizard before reaching this point

Sensitivity type

You can choose from one of 3 sensitivity types:

Sensitivity type	Details	Example
Percentage change	Varies from base value by a percentage	Base Value = 10 Sensitivity Value = +20% Used Value = 12
Delta	Varies from base value by an absolute amount	Base Value = 10 Sensitivity Value = 2 Used Value = 12
Absolute	Replaces base value with an absolute amount	Base Value = 10 Sensitivity Value = 12 Used Value = 12

Available Sensitivity Types will depend on Data Type of the Assumption. For instance, Validation and String Assumptions can only have Absolute sensitivities.

Sensitivity value entry

Add any sensitivity values to the table displayed. You do not have to enter any values, as by default, no sensitivity is applied unless specified.
